Rand Paul Takes a Stand Against Unconstitutional War

Rand Paul's 2016 presidential run was extremely disappointing. Rather than take it hard to the establishment, he seemed more interested in playing footsie with neocons and establishment Republicans. That strategy didn't work and it never will. Rand Paul is best when he's acting like a statesman and not a politician -- that's what people who like him, like about him. His campaign advisors were clearly incompetent, but at the end of the day the buck stops with him.
