Kristol: ISIS Strikes Will Reveal How Small Rand Paul Wing of GOP Really Is
Weekly Standard editor and professional up-failer Bill Kristol told a Morning Joe panel Monday morning that President Barack Obama would enjoy widespread bipartisan support for proposed military action against ISIS. (Though, true hawk that he is, Kristol added that Obama didn’t need congressional approval for what Peggy Noonan calls the boom boom boom.)
When asked whether Senator Rand Paul’s (R-KY) less-interventionist policies would be a wrench in the war gears, Kristol said nah.
“Rand Paul will be against it, and I think it will show how small that wing of the party is,” Kristol said. “I think it will expose the fact that he has his own views — he holds them pretty consistently, except when he dissembles a little bit — but the mainstream of the Republican Party is hawkish.”
