This really was a brilliant move...
The short of it is this: The defense hawks offered an amendment to boost defense spending. Paul countered with his own amendment that boosted spending by the same requested amount but coupled with budget cuts to offset the increase. Cruz and Rubio claim to be deficit hawks, but they voted against Paul's amendment that would have offset their spending with budget cuts. Instead, they voted for the amendment that increased defense spending without the offsets.
Paul proves a point while chambering another round for the eventual Republican debates.
