Personal Disposition: Resigned to shacking up with a wrinkly old war hero.

Evolutionary Purpose: To perpetuate the illusion of a participatory democracy.

Place on the Food Chain: In the scripted event that is the RNC, they're the studio audience.

Feeding Behavior: Funnel fed like foie gras ducks.

Mating Call: "MAC IS BACK! MAC IS BACK! MAC IS BACK!"

Weapon of Choice: Straw hats, button vests, flag lapel pins, cardboard signs, and their unblinking resolve to travel hundreds of miles to participate in meaningless political theater.
