Just days ago, Rand Paul told President Trump he planned to support the Republican tax reform proposal. Trump took that as good news. This may be the greatest example to date of Trump not having learned how things work on Washington.
Rule 1: Don't trust Rand Paul. He's a fraud. He will tell you he wants to achieve certain policy objectives, and you will like the things he says he favors. But he will sabotage these priorities every time, always claiming the proposal isn't good enough, or honest enough, or pure enough . . . or something enough. Remember, Rand Paul is not a Republican. He's a libertarian who ran as a Republican because the Libertarian Party can't get above 1 percent of the vote, because it doesn't deserve to get above 1 percent of the vote.
