Say this LOUD:

All the little rich libertine millennials that Paul was counting on, instead got excited for Sanders.

Rand became a mini-me of his whacked out father.

Paul removed all doubt. He kept opening his mouth.

Rand probably gets the free market economy, cutting the federal government, and reestablishing the Constitution as good as any and better than most.

He shoots himself in the foot when it comes to foreign policy. I’m not convinced he wouldn’t have a strong defense and be a good supporter of Israel or other allies, but his rhetoric distances him from what would otherwise be his base.

Rand Paul forgot he has to run in republican primaries first. His rhetoric was aimed at winning democrat voters, who usually do not vote in republican primaries. His strategy was a loser.

Erickson answered his own question...Rand Paul jumped into bed with McConnell when Mumbles promised him the moon and was then tossed out after he was no longer useful.

A fitting end to his campaign...!

Honestly, is this really a surprise to anyone (esp. here)?

Not many conservatives like Rand’s open borders stance, as well as his outright lunatic position of Muslim aggression being caused by actions of the west.

John Kerry’s foreign policy is a loser, especially in a GOP primary.

I prefer a president who will defend America in a crisis. In some ways I am a small L libertarian. But I do not buy the mantra of that particular party.
And I do not trust Rand Paul to go overseas to defend our nation.

I don’t care what happened to him. I’m just glad that he’s fading from sight.

Nothing ‘happened’ Erik. If you had paid attention from day 1 you’d have known Paul was a liberal ready to do the GOP bidding when it mattered. Which he as.

Paul is merely a corrupt little weasel:

He’s dead to me.

Frankly I prefer Rand Paul in the Senate fighting hard everyday for our personal freedoms. He does a good job at that and we need him. Everybody can’ be President.

Rand had that issue with a woman reporter. Angry attitude.

Rand Paul has the handicap this year of being old news and is now most notably attached to the boutique and cranky libertarian cause of restricting US electronic surveillance as used for intelligence and anti-terror purposes. In comparison, Ted Cruz is a newer personality and is more of a full-spectrum conservative, known mostly for attacking excessive federal spending.

The base can respect Rand Paul on certain issues. But they are nowhere near his positions on foreign policy.
