1. But consider his base

John McCain, twenty-eight straight South Carolinians and nine Log Cabin Republicans.

It's not like he had many supporters to lose...............

2. it's long overdue and something he should have fought against a long time ago

...and I don't give a damn about his political aspirations.

3. Fine.

Then he needs to withdraw his candidacy, and very publicly apologize to Bernie Sanders for "jokingly" pretending to use him for target practice. His penance should require several courses in basic human decency.

4. His hopes are over, flag or no flag.

It should be fun to watch the fallout, though.
