Rand suspends campaign

[limequat]

5 stages of grief...already starting.

Denial...
Anger...

Guess I will vote for the Libertarian party or Constitution party.

 

[gee_blee]

I'm guessing that he would've continued at least into NH if he was to be in the next debate, and that he won't endorse anyone.

 

[Kords21]

It's been a tough pill to swallow this campaign cycle, but given the Iowa results and the ever increasing uphill battle it was going to be, this was the right thing to do as much as it pains me to say that. As a whole, the American people just aren't ready to have the power to run their own lives from a posistion of freedom, they'd rather live out of fear.

 

[rg17]

At least Rand will now focus on the Senate race.

 

[Chieppa1]

Deez Nutz it is.

 

[Jan2017]

My inkling is that he endorses no one especially with how hard he was hitting Cruz near the end there.

Either way, this news only helps Cruz -

Except he is ineligible . . . so all efforts now to have him in the courts.

 

[William Tell]

This election cycle sucked.

Keep an eye on local and congressional races though there are many good people running.

 

[serenityrick]

Except he is ineligible . . . so all efforts now to have him in the courts.

People still actually believe Cruz is ineligible? lol. Alright then.

 

[rg17]

Maybe Thomas Massie will run in 20020?

 

[Dianne]

If you think about it, it is probably a wise move. He is leaving the campaign on a respectable note; having come in 5th at the Iowa caucus ahead of all the Governors. He has nothing to be ashamed of. He can now concentrate on saving his Senate seat from a formidable opponent, continue making a name for himself and be better positioned next election to try again.

 

[Mr.NoSmile]

So where does all the remaining fundraised money go?

 

[Fivezeroes]

Well.... I don't know how I feel about this... $800 later... FUCK....

 

[Dr.3D]

This is so sad.

I know he'll endorse the eventual GOP nominee, but I hope he stays quiet for now. I don't want to hear that he's endorsing Ted Cruz anytime soon. Or any of those morons, really.

 

[JakeH]

So where does all the remaining fundraised money go?

To any outstanding campaign debt and then to Rand's leadership PAC, I believe.

 

[mwkaufman]

So where does all the remaining fundraised money go?

He had 2 million coming into the year, there's not necessarily anything left. I assume he can transfer to his Senate account.

 

[EBounding]

Best move, and he should be proud too. He'll probably have more influence now compared to the past few months. I'm sure the other dominoes will start to fall though: Carson, Kasich, Bush, misc.

From FB

"It's been an incredible honor to run a principled campaign for the White House. Today, I will end where I began, ready and willing to fight for the cause of Liberty.Across the country thousands upon thousands of young people flocked to our message of limited government, privacy, criminal justice reform and a reasonable foreign policy. Brushfires of Liberty were ignited, and those will carry on, as will I.
Although, today I will suspend my campaign for President, the fight is far from over. I will continue to carry the torch for Liberty in the United States Senate and I look forward to earning the privilege to represent the people of Kentucky for another term."
