In the straw poll at the annual Values Voters Summit for right-wing Republicans, Democrats actually did well. In fact, some Democrats did better than some of the leading… Wait, what? Yup. You heard me right. Vice President Joe Biden, Gov. Chris Christie, and 2016 Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton finished in a three-way tie. Behind them? New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez and Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin.
The GOP has such awful candidates that even their own most ardent supporters aren’t believers in half of their candidates including Chris Christie who is in the midst of an extended PR campaign stumping for fellow Republicans. This is probably a sign of things to come. If you can’t get above the black guy’s VP at the VVS, you probably aren’t going to do all that well in Iowa or South Carolina.
The list of where everyone fell is hard to find because VVS doesn’t want to show off how pathetic some of their friends did. So here’s what we’ve got. If you find some gaps to fill in please leave them in the comments!
1. Senator Ted Cruz
2. Neurosurgeon Ben Carson (first in the VP poll)
3. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee
4. Former Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Rick Santorum
5t. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal
5t. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul
7. Florida GOP. Sen. Marco Rubio
8. Texas Indictment Princess Rick Perry
9. 2016 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney
10. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker
11. Indiana Governor Mike Pence
12. Write In Candidate (though we don’t know who)
13. Lucky 13 is soon to be ex-Congresswoman and corndog lover Michele Bachmann
14. Former VP Candidate and poverty lover Paul Ryan
15. Bar Brawl Connoisseur Sarah Palin
16t. Utah Senator Mike “Who?” Lee
16t. Not a Bush President Jeb Bush
18t. Democratic Vice President Biden
18t. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie
18t. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
21t. Oklahoma Governor Mary FallinFAIL (who literally got ZERO votes despite being on the ballot)
21t. New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez (her zero votes means she technically didn’t get beat by Mary Fallin)
I can’t stand him.
They always poll Christie against Clinton ,because he makes Clinton look good
That makes sense.
Its a MESSAGE, you sack of nuts.
A clear message that RINO’s will get NOWHERE. That they get as much respect as Joe Biden, so don’t bother running.
Blue Nation - must be a liberal site; hence the editorializing of “such awful candidates.”
“Chris Christie Can’t Beat Biden or Clinton In Poll of Right Wingers”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Yeah, but how would he do against them in a Liberal poll if he ran as a Democrat?
Nice catch. :)
“It must be a liberal site....”
It sure is!
They use the pejorative term “right wingers,” instead of the proper word, conservatives.
Sarah Burris, another intolerant lib heard from.
I would prefer Biden to Christie. Both would have the same policies, but the GOP-e would occasionally oppose Biden.
That says more about Christie than it does about Clinton and Biden.
I guess this writer thinks she is showing no bias at all.
No, it’s a lefty site, but the article was somewhat interesting.
Like to see Chris Crisco run against Hillary Buttress, in a foot race!
7.1 on the Richter scale minimum. Replayed in slow-mo.
If I listed my top 3,000 choices for the White House, Christie would not make the list. I would take an unknown small-town mayor over Christie (or Romney, or Rubio, or Jeb Bush).
Christie is a Democrat.
