Ron Paul, Justin Amash Sound off on David Brat and the Intra-GOP Feud
On last night's episode of The Independents, Ron Paul argued that David Brat's victory was good for libertarians, and that the Bowe Bergdahl swap was on balance the right thing to do (unlike opening a Cuban prison camp in the first place). Watch:
Later in the show, Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) talked about how Cantor's defeat affects his longstanding tussles with the GOP establishment, whether Brat will line up with the Liberty Caucus, and how Amash is faring in his primary challenge against a Chamber of Commerce-backed opponent:

Is the Chamber of Commerce the one entity that the progressives are actually right about?
CRIPPLE FIGHT!!!
and how Amash is faring in his primary challenge against a Chamber of Commerce-backed opponent:
You think this is a figure of speech but his back is literally made out of bribery and cronyism. So gross.
Worth it just to see M.K. Ham hoisted on her own petard.
I enjoy watching MKH's petard any chance I get.
???
How so? Did she go to bat for Cantor?
tl;dw
Did Congress pass a law requiring Ron Paul to say something insanely stupid and counterproductive for every 3 things he says that make sense? It's baffling that he continues to shoot himself (and his son's Presidential prospects) in the foot in this way.
Interesting, I watched the same and didn't see the insanity. What did he say?
What did he say that was insanely stupid? The only thing I heard was "gold standard."
Roll them punches dude. WOw.
