Not health care.

Not the Russian investigation.

Not even police brutality and racial injustice, which the whole NFL protest is about.

Do you ave any idea what the Tea Party would do to him if he steps in front of the cameras and admits that after 7 years of promises the GOP still has neither idea nor way to repeal Obamacare?

Admit that the GOP cannot govern and just keeps going through the motions?

We don't discuss the war going on in the republican party enough. Our current battle is nothing compared to what is going on in their party. As far as Paul, he is seeing those who want an extremely small federal government footprint picking up gains.
