Why are some Republicans staying in the race for their parties' nomination?

Rand Paul has to know he can't win with low poll numbers in Kentucky his home state. Time to cut your losses & turn out the lights the party's over.

No idea. When do the poll numbers start to matter? Seems like we have away to go and im not sure I want to endure a whole year of political ads and news.

For some, speaking their truth on issues too hot for the front runners to discuss...while jockeying for platform issues, and negotiating an exit that is favorable is worth the heat to stay in the kitchen.

Remember the 2012 election cycle? Just about everyone wound up being the favorite at some point (the exception that spings to mind is John Huntsman).

OTOH, there's still a lot of candidates; not sure how well the patience game is going to play.

With Rand Paul...he is passionate about his positions. He is staying to influence public thought. Plus, as candidacies implode...he is hoping his picks up steam.
