Rand Paul pledges to 'un-suspend' campaign if NH paper endorses him

Former Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul tweeted on Tuesday that he would "un-suspend" his campaign if the New Hampshire Union Leader endorses him and declares a "do over."

If they endorse me and declare a Do Over in New Hampshire I will un-suspend Happy #SuperTuesday https://t.co/6oaZPIdvWg

— Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) March 1, 2016

The paper, which endorsed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in the New Hampshire primary, retracted its endorsement of the former candidate on Monday night after Christie endorsed front-runner Donald Trump last week. The paper wrote in an editorial that it has made a bad decision with its endorsement of Christie. It slammed Christie's decision to endorse Trump, saying the governor said he never would back the real estate mogul.

"Watching Christie kiss the Donald’s ring this weekend — and make excuses for the man Christie himself had said was unfit for the presidency — demonstrated how wrong we were," the editorial said.

As much as I dislike Trump, really? Rand?

Maybe he could get two people to support him if he selected Lindsey Graham as his VP choice.

Man, these politicians think very highly of themselves...

The good news is this will further wreck the credibility of the NH Union Leader newspaper, and its arrogant owner. May it go bankrupt.

Say what?

Rand, if you want to throw good money after bad...go ahead. It will not change these facts:

1) You will not win a single primary.
2) You will end up with less than 25 or 30 total delegates
3) You will not sit in any cabinet of the winner.

Maybe this is the kind of thing Lindsey was referring to when he said “my party has gone bat**** crazy”.

I though he was talking about voters actually expecting politicians to work on our behalf. But maybe it was actually about the politicians.

More divisiveness. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
