Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul's quest to be the Republican nominee for president is not going well, but his campaign wants you to know he has eight endorsements.
Eight!
This is not a lot, as you may have noticed. When Paul's campaign tweeted about those eight endorsements, many other people noticed the same thing, and said as much on Twitter.

@RandPaul I thought this came from the Onion. Unintentionally very funny. Nice that you found 8 people to endorse you.— Alfred Taylor (@aetaylor55) September 27, 2015
@RandPaul Why would you do this to yourself?— Erik Yabor (@ErikYabor) September 27, 2015
Also, one of those eight endorsements came from Paul's dad, former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul. And someone in the Ultimate Fighting Championship Hall of Fame.
