TYT: BREAKING: George Pataki Exists, Was Presidential Candidate



The Republican field has shrunk just a little bit with George Pataki stepping down. That’s right, George Pataki was running for president. But not anymore. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Former New York Gov. George Pataki (R) announced Tuesday that he is dropping out of the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, bringing the once 17-member GOP field to 12 candidates.

Pataki announced his decision Tuesday evening in a TV spot airing on NBC affiliates in the three early caucus and primary states: Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina...

On Tuesday afternoon, the Boston Globe first reported that Pataki called his New Hampshire supporters to tell them that he was exiting the race.

Pataki, 70, who served as governor of New York from 1995 to 2006, had dismal poll numbers, struggled to raise money and failed to gain traction throughout his campaign. He never made it to the main stage during any of the Republican presidential primary debates.”*
