1. I'm not surprised

These straw polls tend to attract extreme partisans, so it's hardly surprising to me that CC - he's an Obama-lovin' RINO, yunno - got few votes. If anything, the newly-revealed scandals surrounding scumbag CC may actually make him *more* attractive to right-wingers who see strength in bullying behavior.

5. Well he'd be entertaining as a GOP candidate

in a sick kind of way!

6. Of course they would select Cruz

in their straw poll. Aren't these the same idiots who elected LePage for governor? Enough said.
