GOP Begs Rand Paul To Drop Out Of 2016 Race

Rand Paul is running for both President and to retain his Senate seat, a move that isn’t technically allowed by election law. So the Republican Party is begging Rand to give up his weak presidential bid so they can save seats in the Senate, but Paul refuses to back down – it’s now possible that he could lose two elections at once!

Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

then we can find out more of the corruption charges coming out of Iowa, plus the more BS from the clown car show, we get more BS from the clown car show, so please stay in, and as a added bonus you get defeated in the Senate

They are just worried that he will suffer such a humiliating defeat that it will affect his chances in the Congressional race. I don't think it will, but for once, I hope the state republicans are right on this one.

hey, Randy!

As a full-fledged doctor (wink,wink, nudge, nudge), you're already familiar with that bit of broken Latin. It is prominently posted in doctors' lounges in many a hospital across this country. "Don't let the bastards get you down."

Stay strong in your presidential bid.
Eyes on the prize.
Be more than your father.
Your talents are wasted in the US Senate.
Run, Forrest, run!

OK, that last one might be over-reaching, but we need you to persevere and stay the course in the Republican candidacy race.

They are wrong trying to get him to drop out he is one of the few that keep the party looking legitimate. That being said I think he is nuts and he would be dangerous if he was popular, but he isn't so he isn't.
