@emptywheel so the deliverable was a reputation boost for Amash unencumbered by real results. The Ron Paul strategy -
@grumpybozo Actually, I don't think RAND Paul, much less Ron, ever did anything akin to it. Even Rand can only get 1/3 vote for his stuff. -
@emptywheel Paul strategy: make populist noise but write real bills that can’t be passed Legislative chicken & YES, Amash is champ
