Pitiful: Rand Paul Raised Only $2.5 Million Last Quarter

Rand Paul will report around $2.5 million in donations to his presidential campaign, a dip from his first quarter, reports WaPo.

Socialist Bernie Sander raised 10 times this amount, without kissing up to the establishment.

Rand raised close to $7 million from April through June.

WaPo's David Weigel comments:

[T]he dropoff from the first quarter, coupled with the troubles of two pro-Paul super PACs, could aid the ongoing efforts of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) to lure supporters into his camp. The weeks between the first and second debate saw one pro-Paul super PAC's leaders indicted, and another (less active) pro-Paul PAC announce that it was pausing its efforts until the candidate improved in the polls.
