Rand Paul, relegated to history and known only as a proprietor of dumbassery.

No you weren’t!

Are you going to be just like your Dad? Make a career running for (but will never be) President?

Calling it ‘dumbass’ was not sarcasm. Now a comment about how he is no Sean Duffy, that would be sarcasm.

5

Rand should never have stopped using that bong…

He wasn’t kidding. And he was right about something for once.

Dear Rand,

No you weren’t. BTW, who on your staff is so freaking clueless that they stood you in front of a freaking parking lot to do that livestream?

Dear Kentucky, do you really think this man should be one of your senators?

Paul didn’t appear much happier during Friday’s Fox News appearance, barely cracking a smile as he defended his low poll numbers to a skeptical MacCallum.

More sarcasm, yea yea that’s it just more sarcasm.

Seems a pretty fitting end to the dumbass campaign of a dumbass senator. History doesn’t generally remember failed candidates all that well, so at least Rand will have a monument to his waste of time.

One of the favorite refuges of a “walk back” is to say you were kidding and that everyone else misunderstood. Yah, right!! And, to have to plead and insist that one is still running for President is to conclude that your performance to date has been pretty shitty.

"So yes, I still am running for President. Get over it.”

Likewise, dumbass.

“People tend to be a little too serious and don’t quite understand sarcasm,” Paul told host Martha MacCallum."

True that. Paul himself is an example of a person that doesn’t quite understand sarcasm.

15

He stopped?
Seriously though, Randy should do what Erick Erickson suggested the other day concerning his campaign only not in the way Erickson suggested.

I admit to missing sarcasm in print but when the voice is used? I get it.

16

What does that even mean? People tend to be too serious. As compared to what, the seriousness of all living things?I guess I’m being “too” serious, because I think that was a dumbass response.

Dumbass is a pretty good description of Rand Paul. Why he stays in the race is a mystery to me. He must know he doesn’t have a prayer, and the powers that be in the GOP (such as they are these days) really want him to go back to Kentucky and mend some badly damaged fences.

Randy would be far more useful if he’d go back to Kentucky and have a long talk with that weirdo clerk and her fixation on Jeebus and marriage. Maybe Mr Paul could make her see the light.

Ho hum, another day, another republican walkback.
