The Libertarian candidate in Arizona’s high-profile Senate race dropped out of the contest Tuesday and threw his support behind Republican Blake Masters.

Marc Victor’s announcement came after some Arizona voters had already cast early ballots for him, but was expected to be a boon for Masters — who trails incumbent Democrat Mark Kelly by 2.4 percentage points, according to an average of polls by RealClearPolitics.

Victor had garnered about 3% support in surveys taken in the past two weeks, The Arizona Republic reported.

The problem is that this A-hole’s name is still on the ballot and will get those libertarian votes that often serve as the spoiler in close elections.

Blake Masters is going to win despite not getting any support from McConnell. This makes it less likely that McConnell will be majority leader.

Weird, libertarians are wishy washy and can’t win. Hmm

Why is this guy an “a-hole”?
Bc he worked hard, raised money, campaigned, got volunteers, etc for causes and beliefs that have directed him to speak en masse?
What have you done with your life?

Libertarians will frick it up and vote for him anyway, so they can maintain their purity by saying, “I didn’t vote for either one.” You can always count on them to frick it up.

Because he knew he couldn't win and waited until voting had started to drop out.

Because he finally realized that his massive 3% of support might be the one thing preventing someone useful from getting into office.

Because he was doing what Libertarian candidates often do...get a Democrat elected.

There are more reasons I'm sure.

Now if Oliver would follow suit in Georgia, Walker wins without having to go to a runoff.
