Rand was my choice in 2016 primaries. He has a lot of good points, many adopted/shared by Trump. (Reduced regulations, reduced foreign interference, etc.)

I saw in 2017 we needed the lion Trump to teach us to win. Rand would have been too weak. (all GOP would be too weak.)

I'm willing to give Rand the benefit of the doubt. He has made (in my opinion) some mistakes, as we all do, but I believe he is logical and loves the country. Those are both wins for me.
