Conor Friedersdorf: The Principled Realism Of Rand Paul
We should try it for a change. Senator Rand Paul distinguished himself among Republicans this week by championing a more careful, pragmatic response to ISIS than any other primary candidate. So far, it hasn’t won him much support. The rise of the terrorist group has divided the GOP in an interesting way. Its neoconservative wing, ... MORE
