After months of sagging poll numbers and shaky fundraising, Rand Paul has had enough.
The Kentucky senator announced this morning that he is dropping out of the 2016 race for president.
Paul said in a statement that he will turn his full attention to his Senate re-election campaign in Kentucky. The 52-year-old ophthalmologist is favored to win that race.
The first-term senator from Kentucky exits the race having never caught on with Republican voters, who have made billionaire businessman Donald Trump the front-runner in the race for the party’s nomination.
Paul was determined to improve the GOP’s popularity among younger voters and minorities. But his message failed to catch on and his appeal never broadened beyond the small group of libertarian-leaning Republicans that backed the previous White House bids of his father, Ron Paul.
With Paul out of the race, there will now be a mad scramble among his GOP rivals for his supporters. A Paul endorsement of Trump, who repeatedly insulted the senator during the presidential campaign, seems highly unlikely. But Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio are likely to make a strong push to appeal to Paul backers.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
I hope that the Paul supporters will support Cruz instead of Rubio.
I hope more drop out so Mr Trump will get the NOD and quit the in fighting within the GOP
I too hope, in fact I strongly suggest that Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum all ineligible to serve as President, support a ticket of Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina as Independents. Kiss off the Republican Party as the non–entity it is, demand that the congress immediately call an Article V Convention of States in order that We the People abolish the Democratic, the Green, the Socialist, the Worker, the Communist, the Queer and every other wannabe bunch of crooks desiring to get a spot at the feeding trough. We have the means to govern as a Federalist Republic as our founding Fathers intended. We do NOT need the BS of Political Parties , the Pork barrel spending, the high cost of Part Politics with its concomitant criminality and the incessant tri-partite, needless, “misunderstandings” between and among the three branches of our well-thought out system of government. The Congress and the Executive in today’s incompetent government, squabble when they should be working for the citizens they were elected to serve. They have forgotten their place in the greater scheme of things. We have an unqualified and obnoxious Chief Executive who should have been impeached years ago, a congress totally in disarray, lazy, dilatory and perpetually campaigning for one more term. Then we have a Don’t-give-a-damn Judiciary, far too involved in politics and far too little involved in the current problems facing the USA. We MUST stop, reevaluate, have an Article V Convention of States, make a few minor adjustments and get back on track OR we become truly a Third World rotten nation.
Thank you so much. You said it all. And thanks for your service. I personally don’t want a yes man and hope Trump wins. If it’s done legally I think he will.
A Constitutional Convention is the worst thing that could happen. We need to force politicians to enforce the Constitution, not rewrite it!
Now you’re making sense. They think Trump is radicsl? What you’ve said is the true medicine we need
Colonel Davis, I wish every voter could read your comment. Thanks. Greg Kuhl, USAF 1971-1975 retired bricklayer.
Donald Trump all the way.!!!!!
People for Trump don’t care about Character or The truth Tumps problems include.
1. Arrogance that can cause a nuclear war, shown in “I never forgive” and “I have nothing to ask God to forgive me for” He committed adultery and slanders people.
2. Slanderous shown in claiming Magyn Kelly is unfair, and referring to blood coming out of her whatever. He is not her husband. Truth MK is fair and questions were being asked were fair game. Ben Carson putting down his style of Christianity through implication instead of saying what does the SDA church believe? When the truth is he can’t tell the difference between an offering plate and communion plate. Do not be critical of what you do not know. Cruz he claimed he was ineligible to vote. Cruz is and Trump wasted $ to find out the answer is yes he is. Twice the issue went to Supreme Court and twice child of parent is natural born citizen. Fox news he called bad. It is actually the honest reporting.
3. Woman hater-Look at how he treated Magyn Kelly and Carly F.
4. Anti Semitic shown in “Hitler was right” Hitler’s 2 claims of fame are scapegoating Jews for Germany’s problems and killing Jews systematicly.
5. Racial Bigot as seen in blacks first while he was president of Trump Enterprizes he segregated (not giving all the options to blacks) where they could rent. Also blacks complain about slavery. Slavery is buying people for ones purposes. “I buy politicians”. Hispanics as seen “people crossing the border are drug cartel” Truth is they are mostly poor people who want to feed their children.
6. Anti Muslim he had the Muslim lady (wearing her Muslim attire) excourted out of his event. She was quietly sitting there listening. Truth American Muslims are mostly good citizens. ISIS are radical extremist are from the Sheite group and not from other groups. Most want the same thing as we do their children to be safe and better off then their children.
7. Ecconomic bigot as seen in his comments. If he objects to the illegal aliens getting jobs he should say that and not accuse them of purposeful harm.
8. Temper tantrum throwing child. As seen in when he does not get his way he slanders and makes a seen. If he wanted to not be at the debate he should be an adult and say, “I’m going to be there” and not slander MK nor Fox News.
9. Spoiled Rotten, as seen when people stick up for this behavior.
10. Non Christian the truth is he did not have to say he is. Christians have to ask God to forgive their sins. He claims to have none.
11. Liar when you purposely misrepresent the truth you are lying.
12. Political Insider. He is a lobbyer and buys politicians.
13. Liberal, The truth is he only conveniently changed his view when he started to run for president. People who have dramatic changes are sorrowful over their past. ”I share Bernie Sanders foreign policy” Bernie Sander’s foreign policy is liberal. How else would he get that many votes for president? Also Bernie has self declared him being (I forgot which one), Socialist or Communist.
14. Has too many faces, and says what people want to hear at the time. He has a lot of inconsistency in his speeches.
15. He uses not being PC as an excuse for disrespect. Truth is PC is short for politically right. Also Cruz, Carson, Rubio, and Carly F. are both respectful and not PC.
16. Disrespect the thing that will get people to want to harm you. He will get us into a nuclear war and KILL AMERICA AND THE WORLD. I personally am not afraid to die, however killing others is not my thing.
We all need to DUMP TRUMP!
Ben Carson and Carly F as team is best for president!
Trump is and has been the one to initiate fights! Wake -up!! He is now showing his distaste of being ignored by the media since Iowa. He himself said he is being ignored! If he does not have the highlight on him, this narcissist greats arguments on twitter. His ego is larger than Obamas. He never explains any of his plans in detail as how he will create jobs, provide for national security, solve immigration, lessen the national debt etc. He throws out phrases..period! He does state he is for universal health care which is worse than Obamacare. He is a democrat who decided he will become a republican to get into politics. Check on the amount of money he gave to democrats. It is available. He has never released how he will get a job done on any issue with factual steps he will take. He does make a good salesman. Bet he could sell anyone a lemon car! As far as getting along with anyone..what a farce! He cannot get along with anyone who does not agree with him! His sour grapes re Iowa must be on his daily diet.
I totally disagree Agnes.
Agnes, I totally agree. the bible even says in Proverbs to have nothing to do with a hot tempered man. And Trump is a hot head.. IF we don’t get a Born again believer in we can kiss the USA and what it was built on goodbye.How can we expect God to bless this country when it has removed him from it?? This country is already worse than Sodom and Ghomorra(spelled wrong) ever was.
The ONLY way I would vote for him is if Hillary was the other canadate. Lesser of two evils.
TRUMP IS THE MOST “ARROGANT”, BIG MOUTH RUNNING. HE HAS A DISTURBING ATTITUDE THAT IS NOT BECOMING TO A COMMANDER IN CHIEF. HE HAS BEEN PULLING STRINGS WITH HIS MONEY.FOR SO LONG NOW. NO CHRISTIAN VALUES. “GOD” IS STILL IN CONTROL.
We need a man like Trump in the White house not another career politician. Cruz and Rubio will never get anything done but owe their soles to their supports and super pax. Just like Obama did with George Soros! If you think God is in control, maybe you should read the bible, God helps those who help themselves!
Maybe you should read the bible. That saying is NOT in the bible. Sorry:(
“God helps those who help themselves” is probably the most often quoted phrase that is not found in the Bible. This saying is usually attributed to Ben Franklin, quoted in Poor Richard’s Almanac in 1757. In actuality, it originated from Algernon Sydney in 1698 in an article titled Discourses Concerning Government. Whatever the original source of this saying, the Bible teaches the opposite. God helps the helpless! Isaiah 25:4 declares, “For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat…” Romans 5:6 tells us, “For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.”
makes sense.
And you are non description!!!!
R U some kinda nut case, there is only one man for this job and his name ain’t Cruz, it is Donald J. Trump! Don’t forget this name because he’s going to become our next president and it’s a damn good thing he is, because he’s the only guy that can get the job done!
BRAVO FOR TRUMP! Who else could do the big job of cleaning up a big mess.
It is a mess…a big mess…and it is not a job anyone would even want.
Sounds like you want a loud mouth obnoxious king, not a president. It’s sounds like it is all about Trump and you, not the rights and good of the country and it’s people.
I agree. I want a real leader in OUR White House, not a sissy big mouth that hasn’t proved anything he’s said yet. My choice is, and has been from the beginning, Dr. Ben Carson.
Dr. Ben Carson is a decent man…not sure he would be right for president…maybe VP or other…
I agree….he is much more able to deal with this mess, than any of the others. Quietness is not a deficit….Wisdom is a truly good characteristic.
Would like a man capable of getting things done. Not one (of many) who are NOW saying they will do what Trump has said all along he will do. WE NEED TRUMP! But I don’t think he has a chance–the elections are so crooked now. If I understand right, the presidential votes are now all counted in some other country, by a company owned by Soris. (sp? Sorus?)
Right on! Trump 2016 – Let the other candidates use their own money and let’s see whose still standing!!!! Crooks
TOTALLY AGREE!!!!
????????????????????????????
I don’t like Cruz, but I rather have him as president than Trump. Trump is a lunatic, he’s the white version of Obama and America doesn’t need that.
Minet you are out your mind Cruz and Rubio are cut from the same cloth that the rest of D.
C. is made of, Trump will do exactly what needs to be done to straighten out this mess that Democrates and Liburals has created and maybe a few of you idiots that run your mouth on this site should get down on your knees and start praying that GOD will turn face back too this NATION UNDER GOD and this Nation back helping Israel. GO TRUMP GO
Out of the top three runners Trump is the only natural born citizen in the USA with both parents being citizens of the USA as per the constitution. The other two should be thrown out NOW along with Hillary
Everyone fears Hillary … even those who should not. She will say and do whatever she has to … on her roller coaster to where she wants to be…probably always did…and not that of the wife of a president…but the president.
Wrong read the constitution for a change instead of being another brainwashed – follower of Hitler like person – use your brain instead.
Cruz is talking through both sides of his mouth…
Donald J Trump will stand by his word. He doesn’t have to run but he wants to make America Great Again.. And with our help and support, We will make America great again. He is a strong leader who stands by his word. They talk about him and he is funding his own campaign. Cruze and Rubio are all talk. It will be worse if we get them. Donald Trump has told all about himself on the history channel. He is a business man and a author. He already said he was a Presbyterian. Anyone who can turn million into billions , can run this country. If people and media would stop saying bad things about him. I’m sure he is standing up for himself. Please everyone vote for Donald J Trump. He is the only one that can run our country.He is for the second amendment, veterans, and everyone. He raised money for the veterans and gave money himself. We will have plenty of jobs and he want mess with social security. He has a big heart for the people of our country. Donald J Trump for president.
Right on!!!
You have to be joking after the voter fraud that Cruz committed against Ben Carson! Cruz
is a sleazy lawyer who lies like Hillary!
I agree. Frump runs from strong women. What will he do when Putin comes up and says BOO? He’ll run like the sissy he is.
Win Ben Win. He’s the only one that knows how to build a REAL team to get things done. He did it as a surgeon, and will as our next President.
…you really believe he runs from strong women or is he more decent to run … they were not decent with him.
You will be crying after this debate because I say Trump is going to knock Cruz on his butt. Cruz is a lie and ad vote stealer on top of it Ted Cruz chooses Ben Carson and you people know why? Because Ben Carson is to dang nice and he will let the issue get swept aside. Donald Trump was really smart not doing the last debate. Trump given Ted Cruz enough rope to hang himself and now Trump will nail the nail in his coffin come Sat. night. This debate will end Ted Cruz mark my words.
I hope they support Rubio. He’s the future. He know how to connect with the young and all kinds of people.
SO DO I SUPPORT RUBIO
I hope He is so fed up with the Republican Party, that he sends his support to Bernie Sanders. Feel The Burn
The ten college kids that were going to vote for Paul will now go to Rubio. Why? Winston Churchill said, “If your not a Liberal at 19 you have no heart. If your still a Liberal at 60 you have no brains.” I say if your a Liberal in between those years your just plain stupid, and stupid is as stupid does!
If Dr Paul gives anyone his endorsement, I can only imagine that it would be Cruz, but Cruz is certainly no Libertarian, so I wouldn’t hold my breath. In my opinion, the only Republican candidate with any chance to beat Hillary is Trump, so that is who I am rooting for.
How can you go from an honest constitutionalist, like Rand Paul, to a dishonest, flip-flopping ineligible candidate like Ted Cruz? He is not a natural born citizen, and he knows it ! A natural born citizen, born of citizen parentS ‘s never has to denounce a foreign country’s citizenship, as the founding fathers wanted total allegiance to the USA ONLY!
My dream ticket was Ted Cruz/Rand Paul. I would still love to see that happen.
Donald Trump for President! He is the only candidate who is not a puppet to Super PACS and
and who can’t be bribed. Bribery is why the Government is so corrupt, because everyone
we vote for owes special interest groups and have to do their bidding instead of the needs of the people of the United States of America.
We need to change the financial contribution system It corrupts our voting process. I will vote for Rubio. He’s smart articulate trump is a Trojan horse Hillary Clinton will get elected if refund put him up as candidate. So if remind want to lose the presidential seat put either trump or Cruz up. Don’t be naive that trump can’t be bought just cause he has money and a big mouth. He can be bought like everyone else.
Rubio is another yes man politician people are not going to support him. The party will split first.
agree,,,
Trump, H Clinton and Obama are 3 of a kind.
It seems like the media never gave Rand Paul the attention he and his conservative ideas deserved. They like controversy (Trump) much more than substance. Sadly, the group of candidates from both parties offer little hope for positive changes. The election of candidates from a third or fourth party will be necessary to change the misguided course of this once great country. Without media coverage that will be unlikely.
The liberturd MSM ignored his father also. Too bad for America. Hopefully he makes a stronger run 4-8 years from now or even gets a cabinet post next year.
Ben Carson and Carly F got that treatment too. Open your eyes Trump is a big show off.
Trump has lived the libertarian life style so he should get its support. Cruz is a dual national and a Mossad plant. He has two passports, a typical thing for a double agent. If he gets elected, America is doomed to slavery.
What the HELL are you smoking
Mike ,lay of the angel dust bud
Get your facts right. Cruz renounced the Canadian birthright. He does not have dual citizenry as you’re saying.
Yes he did denounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014, when he thought he was preparing to run for president. He can’t be elected president as most people are not as stupid as the Texans are!
No Sir, you are mistaken. Senator Crus is not a Mossad plant, he is an alien from the planet Twistus Anus. The planet supports intelligent life but has a contrary nature. They ALL think they are better than every one else, are condescending and only have bowel eliminations once in their life times, contributing to their contrary nature, foul breath, bulging eyes, and big heads.
And you dipstick are from the planet Pluto!
You have it almost right. Donald Trump for President!
Get your head out of the sand!
I sorry to see Senator Paul leave the race. I felt like he brought a sense of civility and common sense to the debates which was, for the most part, missing.
Agree, I like Rand Paul….
Here, Here I think Rand was our only chance for true reform. I don’t know where my support will now go. I really do not like Trump. I think he thinks this is just a continuation of his TV show or being President is just at the top of his bucket list. He says what he knows pisses people off but he is in bed with the Dem.s. I don’t think he has ever voted Republican in his life. So why do people think he will Govern as a Republican?
Trump support Ronald Regan where have you been?
Why would anyone want rand paul supporters to go to cruz instead of rubio. Cruz admittes cheating carson in iowa caucus and then apologized to carson like that’s gonna make carson feel better. As usual ted cruz’s true colors are showing. He is not a good candidate for president. Wake up!!
Grow up Pam, he didn’t cheat Poor Dr. Carson, I like him but he was never going to win
Rubio is a liar, we have enough of them already
I think I missed it. What did Rubio lie about?
You are in denial along with Ted Cruz and his cheating staff if you support this back door politician. Cruz guy looked like a stammering idiot on fox last night. Trump guy knock his butt back to Texas. Ted Cruz cheated Dr. Carson one of the nicest people in the race. Ted Cruz will forever be know as the person who stole Iowa.
Aside from Trump, I believe Rubio has the best chance of beating Hillary. Since it’s unlikely Rand Paul will endorse Trump, I hope he endorses Rubio!
Which Cuban–Cruz or Rubio–would Senator Paul favor to run our country?
I pray that Trump wins the nomination and be our next President. . America is a Capitalist Country and Trump has been proving his God given gifts towards a Greater America.
I was for Senator Paul for his Vice but he withdrew; next choice – Ted Cruz but he cheated also?? Aww.
I TOO HOPE TRUMP IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, MAYBE CHRIS CHRISTIE VP. I LOATHE CRUZ, AND RUBIO IS TO POLITICALLY CORRECT AND SOUNDS REHEARSED. BEN CARSON WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT VP ALSO. I’M JUST TIRED OF THE SAME OLE SAME OLE CRAP, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. RUBIO OWES TOO MANY PEOPLE AND IS EASILY BOUGHT. JUST SAYING, MY OPINION. WE NEED TO SERIOUSLY TAKE “OUR” COUNTRY BACK! I AM A WHITE AMERICAN AND I AM OFFENDED AND DISCRIMINATED AGAINST ALMOST EVERY DAY……WE ARE THE MINORITY NOW AND THATS NOT RIGHT! WHAT DO WE HAVE TO LOOSE……..I’M WITH TRUMP!!!!!!
It’s sad to see Rand go with the likes of Marco Rubio who sees no problem with supporting 14 million ILLEGAL immigrants with money we have to borrow from China? When will people in this country wake up? Rand Paul is a realist who tells it like it is. The rest of the field won’t because it may cost a vote or offend 1 millionth of the population. I don’t blame Rand, I’m fed up with it too! Maybe we should all decide what we think illegal means and stop paying taxes, most of those running don’t seem to understand or care what illegal means.
Yes we have a problem with illegal immigrants but these so called Cruz and Rubio have helped the cause by allowing them to vote, in Texas the polling places and ballots are in Spanish. The high tech companies in the silicon valley of California have more H1B and over staying visas employees than U.S. citizens. Then their products are all made in China by Foxcon!
I myself hope Paul is big enough to shake hands with Trump and support him,for the good of the country
I agree with that!!!
Is this Bernie Sanders?
We need a young intrellegent young person in the WH. I am for Rubio all the way. Cruz’s victory speech was too long and he sounded like he won the presidency.0
LOL AFTER THAT SPEECH, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE HOW ARROGANT HE WOULD BE. I’M SORRY BUT I DISAGREE ON RUBIO THO, HE’S NOT VERY DEPENDABLE ON ANYTHING.
Another ineligible candidate…Rubio’s parents were not yet US citizens at the time of his birth, so he is not natural born!
Rand, my advice is suport Cruz and suggest you fight for conservative principals. You are a good man and we need good men in our conservative admistration. Thanks for your efforts.
Cruz is not a conservative. He is a crook and thinks he is above the law.
OMG MARY PARRY! I THOUGHT THOSE WORDS CAME OUT OF MY MOUTH, SO TRUE!
“Ditto!”
I certainly hope that this helps Donald Trump because we need someone who knows how to run a business. He won’t cost the citizens money and he does care about the country. I am sure that he would do every thing to help the country but the senate and congress must be ready to do also.
It is regrettable that the public does not wake up to the Israeli controlled Ted Cruz. Of course, that also applies to Rubio and Trump. When you take those three along with Clinton and Sanders my only comment is that if these people are the best we have for running the country we are in for some pretty bad times in the years to come. I suggest a ground swelling for Judge Andrew Napolitano and stoop all of this corruption.
Not really this country has YOU! Why you and people like you, that know it all, don’t run for office and show us how intelligent you are!
Rand Paul is the only one who seemed to be a true American . It breaks my heart that we just keep getting people that is in it for them selves rather than the people of America . Americans , all I can say is there’s not many more chances to get it right . Wake up
Cruz, would not be a good choice for president of the things I am hearing about him, loved Rand Paul, how sad of a moment this is for our WHOLE country, Rand Paul of all of them made REAL sense, this one is also a shocker!
Would like to see Marco Rubio get his endorsement.
It’s more likely that his indorse net will to Cruz as they are more principled with their outlook to what right and good for this country. Rubio is more Democrat wearing a coat disguise as a Republican. He will compromise and compromise with the Democrats, should he be elected. That said we are not in a better situation than the past eight years.
Ted Cruz makes the ideal winning combination for they can stick to their agendas of returning a Government of the people, by the people and for the people, as they are both Constitutionalist. And are not easily swayed like the Liberals and RINOs. When things comes to shove God help this country if they don’t all welcome back a Government based on the Constitution of the United States.
A Trump nomination with a Cruz would be just as ideal as previously stated above. It does provide the balance to carry out the Constitutional expectation of the people. A strong President and back with the expertise of a Constitutionalist Vice President.
God Bless America.
How can you support a “constitutionalist” that does not honor or respect the Constitution? Cruz is NOT a natural born citizen with allegiance to only the USA, as that requires both parents being citizens of this great country! One parent does not make a NBC.
That is the definition of a “natural born citizen,” as recognized by numerous U.S. Supreme Court and lower court decisions; (The Venus, 12U.S. 253(1814), Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 242 (1830), Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1856), Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875) , Ex parte Reynolds, 20 F. Cas. 582 (C.C.W.D. Ark 1879), United States v. Ward, 42 F. 320 (1890); Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), Ludlam, Excutrix, & c., v. Ludlam, 26 N.Y. 356 (1863) and more) and the framers of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the 14th Amendment, the Naturalization Act of 1795, 1798, 1802, 1885, and our modern 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1401.
The founders’ reasoning for only a NBC for President:…
Fearing foreign influence on the President and Commander in Chief of the American military, the future first U.S. Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, on July 25, 1787, asked the convention presiding officer George Washington to strengthen the requirements for the Presidency.
I say Trump and Rand Paul for the good of the Country. Hillary , FOUR MEN DIED , HILLARY LIED #!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rubio is earning $83 an hour for a job for which he has rarety appeared -Braman Mototors Billionaire already owns Rubio And Rubio alreadymanipulated to get Braman a huge donation and of course more money –
I want a candidiate who works for US and the USA – who cannot be bought ; – and the Vets have $6 M more TODAY – what did Rubio and Cruz ACTUALLY DO out of thier coffers for the VETS – or anyone
TRUMP and MORE TRUMP I wana CEO to run the USA not a young opportunist or a prickly evangelis who WILL NOT BE ELECTED.I do not need a Pastor in chief -.
Donald Trump has turned this media and counrty upside down-in a positive way he can out manuver and out manage ALL the candidite – he MUSTbe our CEO In Chief..
ITS GOOD TO HEAR SOMEONE SAY WHAT MOST PEOPLE ARE THINKING, MAXINE, I TOO WANT THAT MORE THAN ANYTHING. IF TRUMP CAN BUILD A SAFE, SECURE, AND PROSPEROUS EMPIRE, THEN THAT IS THE WORLD I WANT TO LIVE IN. SHOW US HOW TO DO IT TRUMP! I TRULY BELIEVE THIS MAN LOVE’S THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ISN’T JUST IN IT TO BE PRESIDENT.
Positive way with all his bullying and crying about media not treating him fairly Trumps a jerk and will not get my vote I don’t care if he’s funded his campaign himself he never let’s any one for get it he’s a self center ego maniac
You need to be a self-confident person to become a billionaire, I would think. He knows his worth!
Everybody likes Dr. Carson; But nobody talks about him as President. Wake up and support the smartest of all , and best of all, he is humble. Humility is a God-given virtue, and Carson is the only one who hasn’t spent his whold campaign insulting others and boasting of his own virtues. Vore Carson!
Yes! Go Carson!
Endorsements are meaningless and I believe most Republicans are smart enough to see through the smoke and mirrors. To prove the point, Lindsay Graham/SC endorsed Jeb Bush. Did this help Jeb win Iowa? Will this help Jeb win SC? …..Not a chance! Big L stamped on that forehead! Not all the Super Pac money in the world would buy Jeb Bush the presidency or any other establishment candidate(like Rubio) in this 2016 election. We are slowly and hopefully heading towards a government of reform, then a period called the Repeal Age!
I was a Rand Paul supporter till the first televised debate then took him out of the picture as he couldn’t think fast enough on his feet to make a decision so he looked like an idiot. I do like the guy but not presidential material in my book. As for rubio & cruz i’m not a fan of either. Carson might be intelligent enough to be great but he thinks so logically and takes so much time to think and analyze every decision he’d be late to the party. Trump is my choice 1st because he’s NOT a politician 2nd he’s funding his own campaign so he owes no one favors 3rd he’s an arrogant ass which is what we need in office for a term to show the other countries and especially the UN they need to back AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL or we’ll leave them in the mud and lastly he’s dead set against immigration from all mooselum countries and all illegal immigration from all mexican areas which I am too.
ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT YOUR COMMENT DAVE………..HELL YEAH!
Trump acts more like a politician than the politicians and glows with arrogance and hypocracy.
I support Ben Carson…he is outside Washington and speaks honestly…he answers our questions and is the only one Who gtruly knows and understands the issues with Islam. We need Carson..
I’m a registered Democrat and yet I’m sorry to see Sen. Rand Paul end his campaign. The Republicans lost a really good candidate. He fought for our right to privacy. He actually went into our cities and spoke with Blacks and Latinos. He was passionate about criminal justice reform. In my mind he was the only truly “pro-life” candidate running from either party. ( one can’t be pro-life and support carpet bombing (Cruz) or torture (Rubio). He was honest and I would actually have voted for him.
I’m glad to see Dr. Paul is going to work to remain my senator. I wish his presidential bid had seen more success, but he chose to run in an election cycle filled with a large number of great Republican candidates. He’s right about the GOP’s need to reach out to young and minority voters. Many of these people agree with our views. We need to get them on the team.
I would rather to have had a President Rand Paul than a President Trump. Two Kentuckians would be worthy of VP consideration–Rand Paul and lieutenant governor Jenean Hampton. This woman is active in the TEA Party, accomplished in business, a vet and a minority. She would be able to help reach minority voters whose views match many of those held by Republicans.
Donald Trump for President! He will make America great again.
My vote is still for Donald Trump. People need to wake up see that we need a non-politician, businessman with great business resume and the ability to make deals. We need help and he can do it. You do not have to like him as a person but look at him from a business prospective and the mess we are in. What makes anyone think that the politicians running can do better when they have not done so in the office they hold?? I like Donald Trump as a person, family man and businessman but the most important thing he has to have to offer American is a balanced budget, jobs, rebuilt military, respect for what America is supposed to be. Wake up America and stop being selfish and wanting things for free. Free has no value, hard work, faith in God, and caring about America as a whole not just one house!
Lois wake up and smell the coffee Trump is really an arrogant – multi faced – lying – politician is what he is. Ben Carson and Carly F fits your stated requirement.
America needs Donald Trump and his team of experts to get us out of this mess we are in. Restore our Military, decent budget, respect from other countries, jobs and a thriving economy by bringing jobs back to our homeland.
The problem is he changes his stance too much to deserve to be trusted.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a write in ballot surge so big that Rand Paul would win? I know never happen, would split the votes and the next President would be Hillary or Bernie. Whoever gets the Republican nomination has to have the full support of the Republican party and get the undecided voters too.
We have five good leaders in this race. Rand you are one of them. We need all of you to fix the problems we have now. Our country is in a lot of trouble. Good job to all of you for what you do best. I feel that we can fix this if we all come together. Good day to all of you.
Take Christie,Carly, Carson and Jeb with you
Amen to all Make need someone like him to get this sh-t taken care of GO TRUMP !!!!!!!!Make America Great Again……
Ted Cruz is a reincarnated saint people ! God will elevate him into power and no one else can beat a saint. Good people always have others lying about them and speaking evil about them. You need to wake up to the malicious lies and gossip that sinners speak of good people and holy souls. No one can beat a reincarnated saint for the role of the leader of the free world. Not even the Trump ! Don’t take my word for it (that Cruz is a reincarnated saint). GO AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELVES WHEN HE COMES TO YOUR TOWN OR CITY ! GO AND MEET HIM FOR YOURSELF AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND ! HE HAS A VERY BRIGHT AURA FOR A REASON. It’s because he IS A REINCARNATED SAINT ! No-one in the same room will be BRIGHTER than him, unless they are also a reincarnated saint, but the likelihood of that happening is very, very minute and then they would only be equal to Cruz in brightness ! Senator Ted Cruz is highly intelligent, has the wisdom of a SAINT and is strong, courageous, diplomatic and can work miracles by the power of God ! Above all it is God’s will that he be the President of the USA and the leader of the free world who will STOP nuclear wars from starting and do many, many more good things for America and the world. He will convert many world leaders and many souls in the world ! He will be truly amazing compared to other Presidents who have lied, deceived and wronged Americans and the world at large, for Cruz he is truly blessed. Peace be with you !
Where the heck did they dig you up from Esther. Ted Cruz is a back stabbing crook who used Dr. Carson niceness against him. I think they knew Carson would not have people at all the precincts and they took advantage of it with this crap. Ted Cruz is going down.
Rand Paul would make a good “Deputy Director of Management & Budget”.
Wake up! There’s a receiving end and a contributing end. If you are on the receiving end, vote for Sanders. Otherwise, pay attention to any hard earned cash you may have left. Politicians got us to where we are now. They cannot get us out of this even if they wanted to. In fact, why would they want to? Everything they have done benefits them, raises whenever they feel like it in spite of a 20% approval rating. In the private sector they would be fired, not given raises. Enter Donald Trump. He knows how to fire people for poor performance. Do our current politicians have Obamacare for their health plan? Heck, no way. They get the Cadillac health program that we will never see. And, by the way, if they did get fired it’s no problem for them since they get paid for the rest of their lives as the pension plan voted that for themselves too. Eistein said “the level of thinking that caused the problem cannot ever resolve the problem”. Doh! That sounds about right. No one involved in the political process has even a hope or a prayer of straightening this out. All they want to do is elbow up to the trough and feed. Anyone who actually has a job is filling the trough. As to the rich, they can afford the fancy lawyers and accountants in order to hang onto any amount of their wealth they so choose. And by the way, lawyers are a very well represented group in Congress already.

Rand Paul did NOT ‘drop out of the race’, but instead merely ‘suspended’ his Presidential run in order to focus on his Senate seat challenge. He is Still on the Ballot in All 50 States and should he get enough votes in the Primaries/Caucuses, he could return to active campaigning for the Office of the Presidency.
Vote for Rand Paul, in the Primaries/Caucuses, for a return to Constitutional government and fiscal responsibility.
