Rep. Thomas Massie supported Rand Paul in the primary and is considered a star for the "liberty movement." I spoke with him at the Republican National Convention. Here's some of our conversation:

How do you plan on voting in November?

I'll be voting for Trump. ... I'm more of a "glass is half-full" than a "glass is half-empty" kind of person.

In what ways is Trump half-full?

Well, he's better than 90 percent of the congressmen I serve with. ... I'm serious.

No. 1, he's not owned. Nobody owns him. That rules out a lot of them.

No. 2, he's got real business experience. If I see another candidate that runs as a small businessman that was a lawyer or a doctor that had, like, a personal practice, I'm gonna scream. Because they never had a board of directors, they never had a balance sheet, they never had marketing, they never had product development, I mean they never had a real business, per se.

He's done that, mutiple times.

Can't argue with that. Congress has set such a low bar that even a typical garage door repairman is better than 90% of corrupt turds we elect to... represent us?

Do you think Trump could hurt the GOP and the cause of liberty?

He might be the only one of the 17 that ran in this primary that could win in the general election. Numerically, with the message we had, we were almost stillborn going into the general with the electoral map that exists. Trump has changed the map. Pennsylvania's in play. Michigan's in play.

Probably right, Jeb would have been a guaranteed loser.

Rand would have problems in the Rust Belt as well. Trump may be the only one who could actually pull this off. His celebrity and blue collar policies placed these states into play.
