The Rand Paul campaign ends, the Rand Paul campaign continues

It wasn’t supposed to end like this.
17 months ago, Time called Rand Paul “The Most Interesting Man in Politics.”
On Wednesday, Paul dropped out of the presidential race.
What made Paul interesting, according to Time in 2014, was that he seemed to be the only Republican paying attention to “the emerging demographics, the young minorities, the urban shifting away from older generations and embracing of more libertarian views on privacy, drug sentencing and foreign intervention.”
Would the libertarian-leaning Paul be able to appeal to African-Americans and Hispanics? Would he change his party’s traditional hardline stance on drug prohibition? Would Paul challenge Republicans’ hawkish foreign policy?
Yes, he would. He’s doing all these things now.
