Quote

I think women have come a long way. Women are in positions not because they're women, they're in positions because they're intelligent and they should be equal to their counterparts and treated equally.

If I have a weakness, it's that I try to live by the rules. I try to live by the rules, no matter what they are, and I was brought up that way as a kid. Play by the rules.

I would have voted 'no' on the Iraq war and 'yes' to Afghanistan.
Rand Paul
Image
I'm not someone who's sort of still trying to figure out what I believe in.

Image
I think [Donald Trump] has to do everything he can to set up a firewall between him and his businesses. But I think it's unrealistic for people to be saying, oh, he should just sell all of his businesses.
Rand Paul
Image
I think that, most importantly, when I see issues of war, I see them in a personal vein, and I am reluctant to go to war unless there's a real, valid American interest because I've seen the wounded soldiers.

The Republican Party is an empty vessel unless we imbue it with values.

Image
I think that by arming the allies of ISIS, the Islamic rebels against [Bashar] Assad, that we created a safe space or made that space bigger for ISIS to grow.

If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.

Benjamin Netanyahu said that ultimately, they will be stronger when they're independent. My position is exactly the same. We shouldn't borrow money from China to send it anywhere, but why don't we start with eliminating aid to our enemies.
Rand Paul
Image
We have 11 million people said to be in our country illegally. Forty percent of them are said to have overstayed their visa. Do we know where they are?

Gun control is not part of a strategy to defeat radical Islam or take ISIL down. However it is a problem back here at home. A million people have been adjudicated a danger to themselves or to others at the state court level.
Rand Paul
Image
ISIL is not the JV team. I cannot stress enough that there's a terrorist army in Syria and Iraq that wants to attack the homeland and we're not doing anything about it. So how do you defeat the ideology? Build up others? You reject Rand Paul.

What gets lost is that the Republican Party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights.

Image
It is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particularly targeting them.
Rand Paul
Image
The more we can have peaceful trade both with Russia, with China, and with others, you know, there's a self interest in this for everyone.
Rand Paul
Image
We shouldn't be fearful of freedom, we shouldn't be fearful of individual liberty.

I think those who have wanted regime [of Bashar Assad] change have made a mistake.
Rand Paul
Image
I think this sets a very bad precedent, the president unilaterally on his own starting war without any consent from Congress.

I also think regime change in Syria is a bad idea. And that's an ongoing question. It's one of the things I like about Donald Trump, one of the reasons I endorsed him is he thinks regime change is a mistake. But John Bolton thinks completely the opposite. They are diametric opposites.

I think it's a huge mistake. I think regime change in Syria, and this is what - I've been saying this for several years now. In 2013 when we first went in, I said, you are going to give arms to the allies of al Qaida, to radical jihadists? That's crazy.
