A friend with experience in government laments that the #StandwithRand filibuster succeeded in pushing Republicans even further away from an electable agenda:
The purpose of the Rand Paul filibuster was to move his own party, and the great losers were the likes of Mitch McConnell. … This morning's jobs report lets the administration talk about job creation and the economy while Republicans talk about a totally fictional plan for drone strikes in the US.
