The Kentucky Senator finished in fifth place in the Iowa caucuses on Monday.
NOOoOOOooooOOoOO!!! What about FREEDOM? The CONSTITUTION??? LibRETY and GOOOOOOLLLLLDDDDDD!!!
I really thought he’d stick it out until the Kentucky primary. After all, his campaign paid a pretty penny to switch to a caucus. Ha ha.
Oh, Lord! It’s too early for shit to be this funny. What about next month’s Republican presidential caucus? You know, the one he already spent a half million on so he could run for both Senate and the presidency? I think I may OD on schadenfreude!
And then there were 10… i expect to see a lot more dropping off next week.
Isn´t NH supposed to be filled to the gills with John Galt types?
