Given how well he's polling in New Hampshire,it'd probably be the smartest to divert more resources to key battle states like South Carolina,Nevada and other Southern/Southwestern states coming up to really work on his ground game over there.

So another one just hit the dust on the GOP side,Rand Paul decided to cancel his campaign. Trump really came in out of left field and stole ALL his thunder as the non tea party,anti-GOP establishment option 
. Really thought he'd have more of a shot but no one could've predicted the Donalds rise. Crazy how he was supposed to be the more "electable" version of his Pops and he didn't even come close to achieving the support he got in 2012 :x.

It's a damn shame. Trump has a trash campaign. I don't think the racists permanently attached to Trump's **** would be interested in what Rand Paul had to offer (don't want them anyway), but Trump's media ****storm certainly stole lots of attention the legitimate candidates would've received without him around. I don't like the Republican party, but I do Stand with Rand.So another one just hit the dust on the GOP side,Rand Paul decided to cancel his campaign.

This. Which shows you just how bad things are. Those Tea Party clowns probably aren't extreme enough for the Republican base anymore.

Damn I forgot he used to ride that wave hard
. I'll correct myself by saying *non-extremist*Rubio might have started out as a Tea party darling but he's started to align himself much more with the mainstream/establishment GOP agenda. At least in comparison to his fellow caucus members like Cruz

Rand is much closer to libertarian, though he added some stupid Republican elements to his campaign to try to appeal to the GOP voting base (which obviously didn't work, and I expect to see those disappear from his platform now that he's back to just being a senator). While he definitely agrees with the Tea Party's core issue of reducing government size and spending, he has some important differences, namely: being much more liberal on social issues (such as Criminal Justice Reform and Privacy), a non-interventionist foreign policy (which probably lost him a lot of GOP votes), and not being racist/anti-immigrant (like most Tea Partiers seem to be).Damn I forgot he used to ride that wave hard.

Why would we be angry at minorities?
Because the minorities didn't fall in line and prevented the revolution. DUHH
If only they knew what was good for themselves etc.

The Paul's legacy is sprinkled with racism
They forever playing "I'm not racist, but people should be allowed to discriminate is a free society" card.
Paul is against the Prison Industrial Complex mainly for cost issues. He attaches the discriminatory angle to make it about morals. Which he loves too do.
Famb was riding for the Tea Party harder than anyone else for a while. He was well aware of the white nationalist element of it, and seemed perfectly find with it

Yea he's said some pretty suspect stuff in the past in regards to race relations but in all honesty,he always seemed like the GOP candidate most grounded in reality which still isn't saying much

On the humble, I don't even think Jeb wanted to run but the family name and assumptions got to him and he did it to appease the masses.

jeb defeated.. check the "please clap":
I went to boarding school with his son in Jacksonville when Jeb was governor of florida.. his son came down to the Bahamas with me couple times for spring break.. a bunch of us went to the governor's mansion in Tallahassee
on the real, it should have been him in 2000.. but supposedly they were worried about his wife being a loose canon.. so they went with W.

Jeb was also fat in 2000 if I remember correctly. George is the dumber one, but he has a lot more charisma. Jeb has the personality of a plank of wood, plus his public speaking skills just outright suck.
