I didn't vote for Romney, but I will if he runs again. I respect the backbone he's shown by standing up to Trump.
Which is a lot more than spineless Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, who have even more cause to hate Trump, have done. If either of them runs again, I'll vote another ticket.
Jim And this is assumed fact. This is exactly what everyone expected of the liberal lawyer.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Rand would be a good choice, imo. But first before we have a CINC noted for what he won't do based on principle we need the swamp drained and folks jailed.
Someone that will knot up a whip, overturn the tables and clear the temple of the den of thieves. If we returned to sound money principles the swamp would be drained overnight.

I like Rand Paul, but I don't think he would make near as good a President as say, Ted Cruz. I believe Rand Paul is right where he needs to be. The President may be the face of the nation, but he really isn't all that powerful, if he doesn't have the backing of the Senate and House he can't really accomplish much. Both Obama and Trump proved that a President can accomplish something if the Senate and House are spineless and go along with it, but if you have people with backbone in Congress the President is basically a talking head. He can make deals with foreign powers, (this, foreign policy in general, by the way is why I believe Paul is best where he is) but in most cases that still has to be approved by Congress. The last two administrations have constantly went on, and the media echoed and amplified, calls for Congress to "do something" and quit blocking all "progress" proposed by the administration. Meanwhile I was thinking, they are doing something, as a constitutent I WANTED my representatives to "block progress" on things like Federal Healthcare. I'm assuming Democrat voters wanted the same thing of their representatives when Trump was in office. This is the checks and balances built into the system by the framers. Meanwhile those in positions of power want the brakes taken off their drive for whatever they want to push through. I love the smell of gridlock in the morning. It smells like victory!

Great. Another champion pivoter.
Jim That's kind of my point. None of them are principled people. A few are more than others are but still not reliably principled. There are no heros to be found in government. I vote for who will affect me (including taxes) and my rights the least. I'll admit I don't follow day to day activities of Washington DC, if you would, could you give a particular instance or two where Senator Paul has "pivoted" as you put it? For the record I'd prefer a candidate such as his father although I don't believe a person in their 80s is qualified anymore to be president of the US.
