While showing some frustration, the first-term Kentucky senator this week claimed his superior political organization would prove wrong those doubting his chances in the White House contest. At the same time, he released fundraising numbers that place him squarely in the bottom tier of the GOP’s 2016 class over the last three months, a painful symbol of stalled momentum for the libertarian favorite who was considered a major presidential contender earlier in the year…

“I can’t see what he’s holding out for,” said Casey County Republican Party Chairman William Wethingon. “If I were in his position, I think, looking at the numbers, I think I would focus more on my Senate seat.”

National Republicans agree.

    I keep expecting a miniature poodle to jump off of Rand’s head, waking up from his nap ;)

      And that’s exactly what someone like you with low intelligence would say. Unable to understand the issues?

    If Rand Paul ever quits running for president, I think it will be much later because he’s been convinced for a long time that he’s what America needs. Even though he sees the writing on the wall at this point, as indicated by his low poll numbers and anemic fundraising, he will refuse to throw in the towel because he’s Rand Paul, a legend in his own mind.
