Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), an early supporter of the Defund Obamacare effort that pledged not to pass a budget if the health-care law funding was part of it, said shutting down the government was a "dumb idea" -- but that he wouldn't change his approach in the future.
"I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea," Paul said Monday night on Fox News. "Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea."
