At least 46.9% had the good sense not to participate in this circus. If Ron Paul had run and gotten 25% of the vote, they would have listed his results as "Other" or not at all. In 2012, I went to the Ames (Iowa) Straw Poll and supported Dr. Paul. The lamestream media ignored his virtual tie with Michelle Bachman. I was a delegate for Dr. Paul for the county, district, and state Republican convention. He won a majority of the delegates and it didn't mean anything at the national convention in Miami. I witnessed the corruption first hand and it disgusted me. That was the last time I'll ever participate in US politics.
