In September of 2014, I had these words to say: "The president acts like he's a king. He ignores the Constitution. He arrogantly says, 'If Congress will not act, then I must.' Donald J. Trump agreed with me when he said in November 2014 that President Barack Obama couldn’t make a deal on immigration so “now he has to use executive action, and this is a very, very dangerous thing that should be overridden easily by the Supreme Court.” I would literally lose my political soul if I decided to treat President Trump different than President Obama. (Although, I’ll note, not one Democrat criticized Obama for his executive orders.) I support President Trump. I supported his fight to get funding for the wall from Republicans and Democrats alike, and I share his view that we need more and better border security. However, I cannot support the use of emergency powers to get more funding, so I will be voting to disapprove of his declaration when it comes before the Senate. Every single Republican I know decried President Obama’s use of executive power to legislate. We were right then. But the only way to be an honest officeholder is to stand up for the same principles no matter who is in power.

Hey stupido. Rand already said he was supporting Trump in 2020. In 2028 after Donald Trump is finished with his 3 terms then we can support Rand. Is that other guy Mike Lee? I'm not sure. I would never support Mike Lee. Even though he is good on a couple of issues.
That was before Trump stomped on the US Constitution again, and again. No one at LF seems to care, no replies. Damn the Fetal Tissue, full speed ahead!
