"I think maybe he should get out of the race," Paul said.

And with this one statement, it becomes time to test all candidates for recent crack use.

Rand needs to drop out and try to salvage his senate race. We need him in the Senate.

Rand Paul is at 2.8% on RCP average of all polls.
That means he barely qualifies for the big boys & girls debate. Trump is at 27.0 ,,,, Almost 10 times Rand!
