Donald Trump has proven he isnt one to shy away from making bold predictions, and Tuesday afternoon was no different.
Trump, the GOPs downward trending front-runner, took to Twitter to predict that Rand Paul would be driven out of the race and that Paul would announce soon. He then noted that the Kentucky senator only has 1 percent support in recent polls.
@realDonaldTrump "Prediction: Rand Paul has been driven out of the race by my statements about him-- he will announce soon. 1%!
In a follow-up tweet, Trump said that he hopes when Rand Paul gets out of the race he is at 1% his supporters will come over to me. I will do a much better job for them.

Its not the first time Trump has attacked Paul. The businessman infamously said there was plenty of subject matter there while talking about how Paul looks during the GOP debate.

Paul is a fraud. There is your answer, vis a vis Cruz.
Rand used to have 15-10%. He lost most of them because he betrayed his supporters
And where was Lindsay, and Rubio? No where to be found it seems. Hiding behind Mitch’s skirts.
When Rand gets out, his people are mostly going to Cruz.
I think Rand Paul is probably the worst candidate running, worse than even ¡Yeb! or Pataki. That’s a pretty low bar, but Paul doesn’t even try to hide the fact that he’s a Muslim-lover.
the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
An old saying more often right than wrong.
Good job Trump!!!
He doesn’t attack unless you attack first....and we don’t let a post go by if there is something we can say to support Trump....
I really thought Paul would have a chance this time, but he hasn’t learned that his ‘friends’ are not in Washington D.C. but ‘outside’ Washington D.C.
Trump knows where his friends are and his ‘supporters’ are and he can count on all of us to keep him safe...
Very true. I use to support Rand Paul but not anymore. He’s as phony as they come.
How is this a Cruz thread? No mention in the article....
.
When you make bold, courageous stands, as Cruz so often does, you don’t have tons of friends.
.
The Uniparty is not pleased
.
If its about the election, its about Cruz.

A related article:One of the three super PACs supporting Rand Pauls presidential campaign has stopped raising money, dealing a damaging blow to an already cash-starved campaign.
In a Tuesday telephone interview, Ed Crane, who oversees the group, PurplePAC, accused Paul of abandoning his libertarian views -- and suggested it was a primary reason the Kentucky senator had plummeted in the polls.
. I have stopped raising money for him until I see the campaign correct its problems, said Crane, who co-founded the Cato Institute think tank and serves as its president emeritus. I wasnt going to raise money to spend on a futile crusade.I dont see the point in it right now, he added.

You’re just trying to make me feel bad.
