The Most Interesting Man In Politics- A Paul Story

[Former Senator Haslam2020]

Sen. Rand Paul: 23.4%
CEO Donald Trump: 23.2%
Sen. Ted Cruz: 15.4%
Sen. Marco Rubio: 13.2%
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson: 7.6%
(rest of candidates that don't matter were around very low percentages, Santorum and Huckabee dropped out!)

CNN Broadcaster: And it looks like Senator Paul has taken the Iowa Caucus, mainly due to a huge blizzard that hit Iowa today, which caused somewhat lower turnout for other candidates' supporters, but most of Paul's voters still voted. Senator Paul has been given a breath of fresh air here.... Let's go to his victory speech.



"Hello Iowa! Thanks for the great victory tonight... Tonight has proved that Iowans are tired of false conservatism, they want the hope and change. They want a government so small, you can barely see it. Thank you for choosing me as your candidate and, it looks like the revolution has continued! Thank you, God bless! Let's take this to New Hampshire! Goodbye!"

*hundreds burst out into excitement exclaiming "President Paul", forcing him to quit the speech early*

Nevada Republican Caucus Results (100% in)

Senator Rand Paul: 31.3%
Senator Marco Rubio: 28.6%
CEO Donald Trump: 20.0%
Neurosurgeon Ben Carson: 20.0%

And so it began, the cards were falling into place. Paul won Nevada, thus cementing his status as the libertarian, conservative candidate. Trump and Carson hoped to make good showings here but each tied for 20%, with Trump ahead by 5 votes. Rubio came close to a victory here, but failed. Rand Paul was the frontrunner... No one dropped out as a result.


Super Tuesday came fast... (Results next time)
