Yes I know he doesn't support it but I love that he's making it harder for Cheetolini.

Rand Paul is not backing down.
Hours after President Donald Trump exhorted the Kentucky senator to get behind his Obamacare replacement plan, Paul reiterated his opposition in an interview with POLITICO.
Republicans across the country are unified on repeal, not on replace, Paul said Wednesday morning, after Trump singled him out in a tweet. The libertarian-leaning lawmaker insisted that Republicans should vote on stand-alone legislation to repeal the Democratic health care law and figure out later what would replace it. He said he told the president as much in a telephone conversation Monday.
The compromise that I ... have represented to him is to separate the bill into two separate bills," Paul said.
