I don’t care why he is fizzling, he needs to drop out along with Kasich and Linda.

Whatever. In your HEAD, you know he’s a tangled-mop-headed glue-huffing libtard. And it’s time to wake up and USE YOUR HEAD.

Rand Paul is fizzling because he is a terrible candidate.

He is too libertarian for conservatives and too conservative for libertarians. He is too conservative for liberals and does not carry water for the C of C which means the country clubbers have no use for him.

“...desecrate a copy of the federal tax code.”

Desecrate? Odd word choice. Written by a democrat?

Because posts 4, 5, 6, and 8 all apply plus the unending list of epithets and personal/political deficiencies that also apply the son of Ron, king of the political clowns.

Rand Paul has the personality of a warm bowl of oatmeal. True, he’s got a lot of substance but there’s just nothing terribly remarkable about the man.

When the electorate ignores a candidate the media should do the same.

Are they reporters or campaign staffers?

Could the fizzling be because he has as much charm as a pile of dog crap?..........just sayin’

Rand has been a pretty good senator. I’d love to see him advance in the Senate and help get our agenda through.

Maybe he can run a better, more focused presidential campaign down the road.

But it says something that a bunch of his father’s supporters and staffers have made a video endorsing Cruz.

That's it. Also, if he wants to rise in the Senate as an insider, that means he can't play the outsider card that is so popular this year. Like Bush, Rubio, Kasich and others, he can't capitalize on voter discontent and the hunger for outsiders. If Rand and Jeb were more like their more colorful and unrestrained relatives, they'd be doing better in the polls.

Why? His support of Mitch McConnell. His willingness to play political games. He’s a phoney, willing to compromise behind the scenes with what he calls evil under the lights. Love him or hate him, Ron Paul is easily twice the man of his son.
