An unscientific straw poll conducted by the Cowlitz County Republicans at last week’s Go 4th Festival put Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul at the top of the list of GOP presidential candidates in the 2016 race.

Rounding out the top three favorites for president were Ted Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas who ranked second, and Ben Carson, a pediatric neurosurgeon and author, who place third. The least favorite among the 16 Republican presidential candidates? Donald Trump.

“I thought he would be at one extreme or another. He would either be at the top or at the bottom,” party chair Arne Mortensen said Wednesday.

I guess I'll use this thread to add that the Orange County, California GOP establishment committee held a straw poll and Rand won. Mind you, this wasn't a public straw poll and liberty people did not have the chance to organize, only insiders voted in this straw poll shortly after Rand keynoted the Orange County GOP Flag Day Dinner. He also won Orange County's online straw poll, which wasn't bombed by liberty people either.

Unfortunately by the time we're counted the election is over.
