Kristina Karamo told Republican convention delegates, “Our party is dying.” Wow, we agree.
“We will not betray you; we will not lie to you,” Karamo said in a brief victory speech as convention delegates were hustled out of the Lansing Center.

Officials extended the arrangement until 8 p.m., but told delegates they had to leave quickly after the third ballot.
Long considered an organizational and fundraising juggernaut, the Michigan Republican Party took a historic shellacking in the November election, losing every statewide office and losing control of the Michigan Senate for the first time in 40 years. So dismal are the party’s finances that delegates to this weekend’s convention, in a historic first, were charged a convention entry fee—$50 if paid in advance or $75 at the convention door.
