        Rand Paul the isolationist for the cameras. Party line when needed.

        The next time that asinine J. Flake tries to grab media attention by pretending to have a soul I hope no one feels the need to report it.

        He isn't going to care. It's all kabuki. Paul is there, like Susan Collins is there, like Jeff Flake is there, like Marco Rubio is, when the party demands the vote. Only the Health care vote shocked me. Everything else, at least as I remember it, has always been thus.

        Don’t leave Flake out of this. He’s trying so hard to inherit the Maverick Crown from McCain but whenever Trump needs a rubber stamp he is ready.

        I always knew he was an immoral coward, but this was one of the few things he was consistent on. Now he's flipped and we get a radical Christian bigot to lead the State Dept.

        So you can invent a narrative about combat military service in the First Gulf War, have that lie clearly revealed by the CIA (which you used to lead), and then, in the following week, be voted in as SoS by all GOP senators. That's pretty good evidence of a dying government/nation
