Comments by "" (@thehumanity0) on "Rand Paul: We Have The Votes To Block Saudi Arms Deal" video.
Danny Knapp What is the tally on the second vote? He said it was 47 with more support from Democrats so does that basically mean 42 Democrats and 5 Republicans (same 5 in the original vote, maybe 1 or 2 added and 40 Dems)? Says a lot about the Republican Party that they block nearly everything Rand Paul says about foreign affairs. I believe the tally in the House for the vote was 6 corporate Democrats broke rank and voted with nearly 200 Republicans who stopped any type of vote from taking place.

Danny Knapp I mean Rand Paul and Mike Lee might as well be Independents or in the Libertarian Party. Their own party obstructs them nonstop. In a world that made sense, Libertarians and Republicans would be mortal enemies, but money and corruption binds them and keeps them in close ties with one another, which is why we can never really trust Rand Paul 100% even on foreign policy, which he is better than most on.

Danny Knapp That's a good point. I would be interested to know exactly how someone like Rand Paul or others in the Libertarian Party feel about Eric Prince and his efforts to get Trump to privatize the military to basically transform our forces into a literal paid group of mercenaries that wage war for profit (even though that's essentially what our military is now anyways). Kinda hard to believe solely in the free market and anarcho-capitalism when it leads to an entirely unchecked group of war dogs who would almost reliably not have the American people's best interests in mind.
