Rand suspends campaign

" I was for Rand till the end, but if you are a hardcore introvert like that you shouldn't get in this game. It's a personal business."

Exactly. Which is why people shouldn't be waiting for 2020 either. More than likely he'll do one more term in the Senate and head back to medicine.

It sad because there's a lot of potential there but if you're uncomfortable around people, you cannot, should not be in politics.

I knew he was going to. You can't recover from that kind of defeat in your best state. It is why I was forced into making a choice between Rubio trump or cruz in the primaries.

This is what swayed me to Cruz.

Why do you trust Cruz?
 
Two reasons why he may have quit at this juncture:

(1) the campaign is running on fumes
(2) Koch brothers and CoC nudged him out to clear field against Trump
 
Wih how hip being a rebel seems to be, he should tell everyone to vote for Hilary

Or, Rand is personally very embarrassed, furious, or shaken to the core over turning out to be wrong over the "youth turn out" for him, as it turned out to be non-existent. It appears he may not have qualified for the NH debate, which also could have signaled the end to him about his prospects. He decided to cut losses now before more defeats reinforced the impression the liberty movement was over. One other factor is that there may have been overtures given to him by Trump or Cruz about being named for VP if he got out of the race.

America is Rome 2.0. As long as people are fed and entertained, they will allow themselves to be boiled slowly. As long as the media propaganda machine has a hold of the public, they will be led to slaughter. Truth be told - the only way America turns itself around is through a huge huge huge amount of pain. People need to be hungry. People need to lose their houses. People need to be drafted for war. People need to loose their wealth. People need to lose their entertainment means. People need to die.

Even though our country is in trouble, the citizens are not feeling it yet. Once they do - it is our job to communicate why things are this way. It is our job to pierce through the bullshit and let people know how this all came to be. Save media on your devices. Save books. Save everything related to liberty. For when Rome 2.0 falls, the media and power establishment is going to try to use the crisis as a way to scare people into more government. Keep your eyes and ears open for when those false flags will start so that the power establishment can purge these problems through the toilet. War with Russia / China. Cyber attack on Wall Street. ISIS attack on US Soil.

Gather data. Gather records. Be ready to spread liberty when the citizens are ready to listen. They are not right now. They are not in true pain yet.

Rand still does not get it even with his suspension speech. He should have used that speech to promote values in this cycle to help him win his Senate seat.

The average voter does not give a shit that you cater to the youth and minority vote. I am not saying the issues he mentioned are not import but how does he expect to win his Senate seat by refusing to connect with the average voters is beyond me.

That might explain the behavior in my post above. The policies Rand discussed would strength their tickets where they fall short.
 
Damn, I thought he was going to see how long he could evolve the movement, rather than being all or nothing. He has a legit path to be one of the final four with a lot of states left. Better not drop out! Maybe the stress of being so incredibly busy is wearing on even a work horse like Rand?

Or its just that he has always said that he would not run if he didn't think he could win. He decided he couldn't win, so he suspended his campaign. I think it is as simple as that.

Or maybe he made a deal with another candidate, hopefully if he did, he did the deal with anyone BUT Cruz or Rubio.
 
Who knew cruz was going to fook the pauls over. Cruz seemed like an alright guy in 2012. Seemed to fooled everyone for a while.

Kinda messed up since the pauls did help cruz get his senate seat with endorsements.

I doubt cruz would even give out table scraps for rand if there was a deal made.

2020... dr paul, the eye doctor.

This is right move for Rand. Shore up the Senate seat in a time where the voters were out in left field compared to our message. At the same time, (and I've never told this story) but Rand has some personality liabilities when it comes to glad handing and kissing babies like one has to do in a primary campaign for POTUS. About 18 months ago, shortly before he announced for President, I met Rand at an airport. I'm a sales exec and travel all the time. He was chatting with my local Senator and they were both on their way to Washington on my plane. In the lobby I just wanted to shake their hands and say HI. The other Senator was very friendly, but Rand was very stand offish and almost seemed offended that I approached them to say hi. Struck me as very rude and weird frankly in that the other Senator was so outgoing. True story. I was for Rand till the end, but if you are a hardcore introvert like that you shouldn't get in this game. It's a personal business.
