Bush is the one that needs to give up.

He did earn one delegate from Iowa.

FoxNews confirms Paul suspends campaign.

I don’t disagree. In fact, there are several that should. But Bush staying in keeps splitting votes among the establishment.

No kidding but, hopefully, if he stays in it keeps the GOPe vote split. Iwant Trump and Cruz to get stronger and shut Rubio out before the field narrows anymore. I'm paranoid that the establishment will get their 'chosen one' through our three antiestablishment guys (Cruz, Trump, Carson)

I say kill your worst enemy when he is down. Don’t give him or his troops a scintilla of hope. Crush them and defeat them whenever the opportunity arises lest they go crawl back under a rock temporarily to heal and re-emerge.

ISIS killed Rand Paul’s candidacy. Hard to be a libertarian with the world burning.

Every day Bush stays in the race spending millions, Karl Rove’s star permanently dims.

Well, those are all going to go to Rubio and Kasich in NH. Jeb will be out by next week.

Rand Paul is about the last one I expected to get out.

Good for Cruz since most libertarians see him as the natural 2nd choice.

Actually, I'm sorry to see this: I thought he would at least wait until after NH.

Even though this will help Cruz, Rand was a loud voice for the liberty movement, which the GOP ignores to its peril. Let's hope he can get his act in gear with his Senate re-elect: we still need Rand's voice in the Senate.

Scott (TEA-PARTY TURNCOAT)Brown endorses little Donny...helps Cruz.

Ann (Cousin IT don't primary rinos)Coulter endorses little Donny...helps Cruz.

Big Bernie win in N.H. frees Sanders and Clinton supporters to cross over to take little Donny out by voting for Cruz hurting Marco Rubio as well....helps Cruz.

I think they call it OPERATION KNEE-CAP. ....More fun than a barrel bomb full of bacon bits.

A libertarian would not just walk away.

A libertarian would warn the enemy to stay away. And when they did not, they would unleash the full force of the USAF on them.

For a specified period.

Then they would warn them again.

Rinse, Repeat.

But Cruz, being the hard core “religious right” would not be attractive to Paul supporters. They will go to Rubio or Bernie.
