Rand Paul is dropping out of the presidential race. I’m disappointed. To me, he represented a true anti-establishment voice, one based in his libertarian ideas and not just in being obnoxious. Not that I fully buy into libertarianism, though I appreciate its concern for civil liberties. But let me ask this: What happened to libertarianism? Supposedly the millennials, the internet subculture, the new entrepreneurs, and the zeitgeist in general are libertarian, wanting personal liberty, a free economy, and minimal government. So why hasn’t libertarianism gotten more political traction?
From Rand Paul dropping out of White House race, Politico:
Rand Paul will drop out of the race for president, three sources close to the campaign told POLITICO.
