, I'm going to reserve judgment on [Rex] Tillerson. But I'll ask him the same question I've asked the others: do you understand the historic lesson that the Iraq war was a failure, a strategic mistake, that's what Donald Trump says.

More quotes by Rand Paul
No Republican questions or disputes civil rights. I have never wavered in my support for civil rights or the civil rights act.
Rand Paul
What I don't like from the president's administration is this sort of, 'I'll put my boot heel on the throat of BP.' I think that sounds really un-American in his criticism of business. And I think it's part of this sort of blame-game society in the sense that it's always got to be someone's fault instead of the fact that sometimes accidents happen.
Rand Paul
The fundamental problem of Obamacare is the insurance mandates. When you mandate what has to be insurance, it elevates the price. And when you tell people they can buy insurance after they're sick, they will. And you get what's called adverse selection.
Rand Paul
The Paris attack was highly sophisticated, well-planned, very clever, took months in the making, very much like 9/11. And there is a 9/11-style attack coming to America.
Rand Paul
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.
Rand Paul
I'm here in Whoopi Goldberg's office trying to choose some shoes. We've seen [Marco] Rubio has those cool new boots and I don't want to be outdone.
Rand Paul
John McCain is the guy that has advocated for war everywhere. He would bankrupt the nation.
Rand Paul
As commander-in-chief, I will do whatever it takes to defend America. But in defending America, we cannot lose what America stands for.
Rand Paul
Hardened terrorists are coming here to hit us hard if we don't hit them first.
Rand Paul
Any time we give people the ability to use force, we have to be very careful. It's sort of like the people who spy on us - you've got to watch the watchers.
Rand Paul
Someone is an ignoramus who would say that, 'Oh, we had three hurricanes this year. This proves that somehow the climate is warming.' The earth is 4.5 billion years old, and you're going to say that we had four hurricanes and so it proves a theory?
Rand Paul
Foreign aid is not something the vast majority of Americans support, but definitely not conservatives.
Rand Paul
I read all of Ayn Rand's novels when I was 17.
Rand Paul
We shouldn't be fearful of freedom, we shouldn't be fearful of individual liberty.
Rand Paul
I just can't vote to go to war unless I think there's a real clear-cut American purpose in the war, that we're going to win and that we're not going fight for stalemate.
Rand Paul
I would pay to have those adjudications enrolled into the federal background system so we could detect people who are mentally ill before they buy a gun. That is a real problem.
Rand Paul
I think Republicans will not win again in my lifetime ... unless they become a new GOP, a new Republican Party. And it has to be a transformation. Not a little tweaking at the edges.
Rand Paul
I have allowed the president to pick his political appointees…But I will not sit quietly and let him shred the Constitution.
Rand Paul
I never, ever cheated [in medical school]. I don't condone cheating. But I would sometimes spread misinformation. This is a great tactic. Misinformation can be very important.
Rand Paul
I don't think I'm really open to having Washington change me.
Rand Paul
