Aside from being bullied by Trump at the last GOP debate in the first minutes, apparently one of his superPac honchos thinks he's running away from his libertarianism as he has only raised a tenth of what some funding front-runners have put together for the 2016 primary campaign. Has the Walker retreat made him reluctant to say anything given the wasted noise of the other 'bagger candidates doing a victory lap upon ousting Speaker Boehner, although he did say Cruz was toast for re-election to the Senate. Yet with
Republico and its lips firmly planted on the ass of GOP Realpolitik, perhaps the shakeout of GOP candidates will come sooner than later as WaterPoloRubio and Jeb! fight for Wall Street bucks. Poppa Ron may have to come out his crypt to pump up AquaBuddha's
bona fides.
In what can only be another harbinger of bad news for Sen. Rand Paul’s troubled presidential campaign, one of three pro-Paul super PACs has stopped raising money for the Kentucky Republican, with its leader calling it “a futile crusade.”
Ed Crane, who leads PurplePAC, told Politico Tuesday that he won’t raise money until the campaign changes course.
Crane, a co-founder of the libertarian think tank Cato Institute, told the site: “I wasn’t going to raise money to spend on a futile crusade. ... I don’t see the point in it right now.”
The libertarian views that catapulted Paul to national prominence had “disappeared,” Crane said, leaving many of Paul's longtime backers miffed.
