Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has won another straw poll, boosting his national profile and elevating his name among potential 2016 presidential contenders.
The firebrand freshman senator and tea party favorite was among a handful of 2016 hopefuls speaking at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans this week.
Cruz finished in first place in the annual conference's presidential straw poll at 30.33%. Dr. Ben Carson, a Fox News commentator and conservative activist, finished in second with 29.38% while Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, was third with 10.43%.
Fox News host and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Texas Governor Rick Perry rounded out the top five, at 5.06% and 4.90%, respectively....

This is great news.
You’re right. We’d better import a few more million. What could it hurt?
Yep we are. Dag it.
That’s OK — the RINOs will just have to trash him harder so when he’s nominated, he’s in a weakened position.
Good I stand with Ted
you are a complete dolt
Carson is a contender.
Your view is distorted.
Carson has stated his idea for health care reform includes having everyone carry their medical record around in the form of a microchip implanted in their skin.
Latino is not a race. They come in all races and colors.
Ditto with Jews.
Ditto with Americans (North and South)
Ditto with France, UK, Spain, Italy
Ditto with Autralia
Ditto with India
Only major country with 99% one race is China.
China is so homogeneous, there are only about 100 surnames in a country of 1500 million.
Carson and Paul did not speak at the conference. Only Cruz did. So Carson’s running so close to Cruz is remarkable.
“...the Republicans are going to save us?...
...No, they are the same guys who are bussing in illegals by the trainload and working on comprehensive paths to coming out of the shadows for the dreaming undocumented or whatever. You know who could save us? Freaking Genghis Khan. If he were running for office, I’d vote for him....”

Ah ha, I checked your FR user registration date (April 1, 2013) and now realize you’re just being an April Fool’s joke or perhaps a Debbie Downer.
Anyhow, I’m sticking with Ted Cruz.
I hope you are right, at least for the next election cycle.
Here is some more polling to brighten your day.

LOL. It is ridiculous indeed to assert that you can predict anything at all about the future - and even more ridiculous that with such confidence you assert something like the names of all future presidents.
pffffttt.....
Note to self. Republican Leadership Conference knows what the hell's going on.
Expect the media to ignore this poll. I'm surprised that CNN published this.
Don't you think that said language is being used as a tool to conflate language and race - and make race a bigger issue?
We went from having over 200 years of Presidents with names like Carter, Ford, Bush and Jackson to “Barack Hussein Obama.” That is no small event. Presidents Camacho, Nguyen and Clickitat are next up in the bullpen. The democrats come out with— first woman, first whatever, and the repubs feel they have to compete to be fair.
