Rand Paul is not an outlier

The media tries to paint him as an outlier. Part of the "libertarian-wing of the GOP." but the truth is that Rand Paul is the WHOLE GOP. Full stop.

Rand Paul shut the government down because the budget spent too much money on Americans for his taste (IE any at all).

They don't have a problem with deficit spending. They have a problem with American tax dollars benefitting Americans. They scream about America First but given the choice, they'll choose building stuff in some random country before they build stuff here.
