MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. — A Grand Rapids political consultant, now director and chief strategist for the national Rand Paul campaign, claims a top official for the Marco Rubio campaign punched him Thursday night at a bar on the island, which is hosting the biennial GOP Leadership Conference.
John Yob, the national political director for the Rand Paul campaign, posted on Facebook early Friday morning he’d been punched in the face inside the bar by a man he said is the deputy campaign manager for Rubio, a Florida senator.

four-percent fighting two-percent for the crumbs under the table. Meanwhile, back in the *real* contest...
The way Rand Paul’s campaign is going, he’s the one who should be punching his chief strategist.
Sounds a lot like a SET UP, designed to get Trump off the front pages. Good luck with that.
Good it wasn’t a shootout at the OK Corral.
Aren’t punch-ups what yobs do?
Musta been Marco’s foreign policy advisor.....
:^)
On Mackinac island a drive by really would sound like “clip clop clip clop clip clop BANG BANG BANG BANG clip clop clip clop clip clop”
There are no cars allowed on the island.
You said it. I was thinking the same thing. They really want to punch out trump but they cant
Punching political consultants in the face is a RIGHT!!
Political consultants punching each other in the face is entertainment.
How long before the donors who have been parted with large amounts of their green for these folks start swinging?
They seem to have a justified reason. s/
Remember how Rand Paul was going to be the attack dog at the debate? All the news stories leading into it had Paul ready to rip into Trump.
And right off the bat Trump goes after Paul (telling him he doesn’t belong on the stage at 1% ), basically warning him that he’ll make fun of his looks (because there’s a lot to work with, i.e. hair) if he starts yapping.
The only thing Paul said about Trump all night, after that threat, was that he agreed with him.
Alpha male on display.
Now that's funny!
They should’ve just had some fudge and taken a bike ride.
Only one of the two candidates will be in attendance tomorrow so one of the consultants is only there to do opposition research or is looking for a new job with another campaign.
Ted Cruz has a real pro in former MI GOP committeeman Saul Anuzis on his campaign team. I’m not a big fan of Anuzis but he has been pretty effective at picking off staff from other campaigns and Rand Paul has been especially hard hit by the kidnappings.
A little difference of opinion on “anchor babies” and the 14th amendment? And too much Kentucky bourbon on one side and too many mojito Joes on the other?
Let’s get all the consultants in a room together, give them Glocks and show them non-stop Trump polling data vs their own candidates.
The funny part is the “unprovoked” part. Yeah, in politics no one ever throws inflammatory language around that might start a fist fight.
Actually, I would kind of like to see a debate where the candidates walked out on stage and started clocking each other. That was one of my biggest complaints about Romney— all you had to do was take one look at the guy and you knew he hadn’t thrown a punch in several decades (if ever). Jeb Bush is the same way.
