Rand Paul is still running for president...

"The third question -- most popular question -- from Google is, 'Is Rand Paul still running for President?' and uh, I don't know I wouldn't be doing this dumbass live streaming if I weren't. So yes, I still am running for president. Get over it." -- Rand Paul, answering the top Google searches during his pre-Democratic debate live stream


...But he's not sure why he's still live streaming.

"You know I wish I knew. I wish I knew why I was live streaming. I have been saying I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this and then all of a sudden I am doing this." -- interviewed by CBS News

And for the die-hard fans that tuned in, a "dumbass" t-shirt:

"I watched Rand Paul's livestream and all I got was this dumbass teeshirt." -- a t-shirt selling for $20.00 at Paul's online campaign store
