Only saw the very end of the DeSantis interview. Going to watch the rerun because he just makes so much sense. And no double talk.

BTW, very pleased to see that Kristi Noem came in third in the straw poll. Ahead of Haley, LOL.

Just for fun, I went back to see who won the straw poll for CPAC 2013 (since it was 4 years away from the 2016 election).

Rand Paul 25%
Marco Rubio 23%
Rick Santorum 8%
Chris Christie 7%

2013 was the first year that President Trump spoke at CPAC if I recall correctly. So I took a look at the 2015 CPAC straw poll.

Rand Paul 25.7%
Scott Walker 21.4%
Ted Cruz 11.5%
Ben Carson 11.4%
Jeb! 8.3%
Rick Santorum 4.3%
Marco Rubio 3.7%
Donald Trump 3.5%
And 9 more below that...

And for the 2016 CPAC straw poll:

Ted Cruz 40%
Marco Rubio 30%
Donald Trump 15%

What a difference from 2013 to 2016, eh?
