“other candidates” didn’t throw Duke out, we the people threw Duke out. As I recall, the other candidates ignored Duke, and rightly so, he wasn’t worth their time.

Candidates are supposed to ignore the racism and anti-semetism of another candidate?

Not really. Reagan, Bush I and Atwater were vocal in their denunciation. You can't "actually throw someone out" of the party, Duke or Paul, but they ran a second Republican candidate against him. The runoff Duke won was Rep vs Rep. GWB campaigned for John Treen, the other Republican. Might have been his political campaign experience.

Duke still ran as a Republican when Livingston resigned and garnered 19% of the vote.
