From what I was hearing by way of twitter the Paul supporters were very "aggressive" and not necessarily republican.

Mackinac Straw poll.

The loon is still in the race!!!

Back in spring, Paul also won the straw poll at the GA 2nd Dist convention. He also has elected people speaking on his behalf. He inherited a contingent, but it does not translate into delegates.

Using some of Papa’s techniques.

Good point....more like a Scientologist meeting. LOL

And this tells one why straw polls are worthless!

From what I was hearing by way of twitter the Paul supporters were very "aggressive" and not necessarily republican.

In other words, they were typical Paul supporters.

I'm surprised that with that much bull crap all in one spot that the island didn't flip over.

Well heck, he's got Mackinac all sowed up. Let's just annoint him and cancel the rest of the primary season!

more than 2,000 Michigan Republicans. Trump’s 30,000 in dallas a difference of 28,000

No wonder they were fighting in the bars up there. Not classy.

sympathy vote. Paul’s guy got whacked in a bar by Rubio’s guy earlier in the week.

The straw poll at the Mackinac conference may not be very accurate.

I attended earlier conferences where the straw poll consisted of pickle jars with slots in the lid to accept dollar bills. The jars had the candidates name and photo nearby. There is nothing to prevent someone from putting in more than one dollar. I have seen 5’s 10’s and 20’s in the jars.

Is that perfumed dandy boy still around. Dude, aren't you late for your hair and make-up session?

In more pressing news........our =15+ year old dog ate all of her breakfast this morning!

[Bikkuri]

Libertopians...

[X-spurt]

You don’t mean...... more like libertarian, do ya?

Had high hopes for Rand, but that is what Rand is sounding like more and more. Acorns don’t fall far from the tree.

[Darren McCarty]

My best friend just got back from there. He said that John Yob, Paul's Michigan campaign director is a master at getting people to show up at straw polls and get them credentialed. A lot of other candidate supporters were not credentialed. He said that Ted Cruz packed the school with a lot of supporters and didn't get extra people credentialed.

He said that it was a mixed establishment and tea party crowd overall, but most people backed either Cruz, Fiorina or Kasich, with some support for Rand Paul, Carson, or Rubio. He also said there was very little Trump or Jeb support with a lot of people undecided.
