Breaking: Rand Paul drops out of race

This is so sad!!!
He was the best candidate....

I know :-(

so freaking sad right now

Maybe he can be Trumps VP???

Thread: Rand Paul just dropped out.

I have no idea what candidate (if any) Paul's people will rally around. I guess he felt like he better keep his voice in the Senate but I think he quit way too soon.

He knows the whole game is rigged.

America had her chance. Let Dr. Paul die in peace.

I'm not sure what to say.

His message was liberty. He isn't his dad, but he's dern close.

My mom just came over to me and simply said, "I heard," with sad eyes. She's in her 70's and gets him. Sad day here.

Like father, like son.

the media completely ignored him and gave time to idiots like christie and jebbie who poll worse than Rand. Lots of the youth vote trying to joing Bernie and the FSA. Ugh.

He would have been my choice! I was hoping that some of the others in the bottom would drop out and maybe his numbers would go up. Was hoping he would wait it out a little longer.

At least he has been getting some positive media attention recently.

Both hated by the establishment.

No, he wasn't.
He's a fine Senator.

In theory: awesome. I don't think Rand would ever do it though. Trump could use Rand's smarts.

Every election a part of me wonders if it is the last chance, but I think that this one really was.


Rand's emotional election night speech about not trading liberty for security:

No, like an idiot, he pissed in Trump's corn flakes, so it's back to obscurity in the Senate, staying quiet when Mitch McConnel fucks us over, like he always did.

Smaller news than Lindsey Graham dropping out

It was bound to happen, it costs too much to keep going and the fact remains.. he didn't stand a chance of becoming president.
I would have loved to see him in Cruz position, but yeah..

He was the only candidate. The rest would have us trade liberty for security.

I can not understand why the American right did not supported Rand Paul.

from Republicans liked him most, now I hope that that Governor Kasich will be NH story.

Loser not part of big enough corruption
Was he

Good news. Jeb Bush and Carla Fiorina should also quit.

Trump will Triumph.

That may be the reason he is dropping out!

I think so too. I an so so sad right now. Where is our country headed? Evil will one day be defeated. But when? I am ready to start a coupe and demand everyone in Washington out. We can't let these corrupt politicians in power anymore. And Trump? I am leaving America if he wins. There won't be anywhere safe in this country. All Bully's will unite and just smash out the little guy. That's chumps idea of making America great again.

Where are you Jonas?

There's a place for him as Senate Majority Leader.

I'll vote for Ron any day!!! He walked the walk and talked the talk as much as he could. Ron would not bend, that is both his strength and his weakness. Rand tried to do it differently only to find that is what happens to all the sell outs.

Rand has never claimed to be Libertarian as Ron has. However he is the most true conservative candidate. Some forget as senator or congressman they have an obligation to fight for as much $$$ as they can for their constituents. This has always confused some about how they vote in chambers compared to what they stand for.

What turned me off from Rand was his alignment with mitch mcconnell!

If Rand would have picked up were his dad left off, I believe he would be front runner today. He squandered a huge opportunity for the liberty movement IMO.

I will give him a second chance, but he has to lean more libertarian for me.

there's no one else that i'd vote for.
if i'd vote.

Not true...Rand's father went all the way through the primaries only to be wiped out and ignored at the Republican convention. Rand did not have the same kind of support from the voters as his father.
