Rand Paul suspends presidential campaign, CNN reports - Democracy 2016 Story

Wow.

I think after Bush, Christie and Kasich lose in NH, they are going to be next.

Well so much for the least offensive candidate.
Too bad he squandered his fathers message.

He had a chance to make a difference in the campaign and to influence the party going forward. Now he is done. More evidence that Trump is destroying the Republican party.

Well, that was Trump's intention after all.

It's not Trump's fault. I personally thought Rand Paul was great, but for some reason the establishment wing hates him and he really appeals more to moderates and/or younger voters (for certain parts of his message). He may have done better if Trump didn't suck all the air out of the rest of the field with the media, but I never thought Paul would be elected. I prefer him in the senate because he very principled and articulates his positions very well. He would never have much support as a president, from the right or the left.

I don't understand why. He got 2% in Iowa, after spending somethings like $70 million! He will never get more than that, so why isn't he being pressured by his supporters to drop out and give the money to another similar candidate without the baggage of his family? It's far too soon for another Bush to think he can win the election. What were they thinking?

Paul has no say in the matter.

As long as his campaign is only suspended the delegate will still be bound to him.

If he formally ends his campaign before the convention or isn't nominated at the convention the delegate will be free to vote as he or she sees fit.
