The Texas Republican congressman addressed supporters in a 7 1/2-minute video on his campaign Web site Thursday night and did not specifically say he was quitting the race.
He said that although victory in the conventional political sense is not available in the presidential race, many victories have been achieved due to the hard work and enthusiasm of his supporters.
For example, re-election to his House seat and getting more people to read his racist newsletters than ever before.
Here's a question for the self-professed loyal Republican, will he support his party's nominee? Will his followers? Or was he really a third party phenomenon all along who just needed to make sure he was re-elected to his congressional seat?
