Why does Rand Paul even keep being reelected? His brand of libertarianism cant be too popular in a poor, rural state like Kentucky. Why hasnt he been primaried already?


Theyre stupid as fuck. They keep electing McConnell as well.

Walking back his statements on murky issues with room for interpretation, or contradicting tweets he wrote 10 years ago, that's one thing. He can get away with that. But pretending like he had been expecting a pandemic all along is completely ridiculous and shameless after he had been acting as the placator in chief for 2 months. There's just too much very recent evidence for his downplaying efforts which people are still aware of.

Because he's a good candidate overall.

This has almost become classic for him, holding up votes for the attention it seems.

It's baffling to check out the Conservative page on Reddit and see not only a lack of criticism for Trump's handling of the situation, but the proactive denial. None of this is Trump's responsibility.

From Trump today: “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”

looooooooooool


banned travel from China and Iran into the US before most countries did the same on their end. Two largest outbreaks so far other than the EU’s favorite racist epicenter Italy - which he banned pretty quickly as well (Biden and Barnie were against this saying it wasn’t useful or whatever). too bad he counters this with needless attempts at quelling panic through winging it as the media has done a great job panicking everyone.

Fortunately he seems to have stepped aside and let Fauci and Pence give updates which is the right thing to do here

Stay safe my friend and hope things get better soon for you and for all of us!

it is his fault for ticking off China over and over instead of surrendering
