Winning: Donald Trump Easily Claims CPAC Straw Poll in Dallas
Breitbart ^ | 7 Aug 2022 | SIMON KENT

An unofficial straw poll Saturday among attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas for who should be picked as the 2024 Republican nominee was easily claimed by President Donald Trump with a sweeping majority.

Jim McLaughlin, a pollster for Trump who conducted the straw poll, announced the results onstage just hours before the former president was expected to take the stage, UPI reports.

“Yep, President Trump increases his job approval to an astronomical 99% in CPAC Straw Poll and blows away the potential 2024 field with 69% of the vote, up from 59% from February CPAC,” McLaughlin said via social media.

Yep, President Trump increases his job approval to an astronimcal 99% in @CPAC Straw Poll & blows away the potential 2024 field with 69% of the vote, up from 59% from February CPAC! #CPACTexas

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not at CPAC but is widely considered to be a potential candidate for the 2024 presidential election. Vendors were even seen selling merchandise bearing the governor’s name at the conference, the Dallas Morning News reported.

DeSantis claimed 24 percent of the total compared to Trump’s 69 percent in the straw poll but 65 percent of attendees said they would vote for DeSantis if the former president was not offered as a choice.

Sen. Ted Cruz received just two percent of the vote in the straw poll while Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did not register above zero, the UPI report outlined.

The straw poll is not a scientific survey, with a pool limited to CPAC attendees, and is not representative of the broader GOP electorate.

Also regardless of the GOP-E and Globalists in their attempt to sow division in the rank-in-file of the GOP by farcically pushing DeSantis as an option for 2024.

President Trump continues to dominate, regardless of the wishful thinking of the fake news and pundit class.

Also in spite of the efforts by the GOP-E and Globalists in their attempt to sow division in the rank-in-file of the GOP by farcically pushing DeSantis as an option for 2024.

So far it looks like a lot people around here have been silenced by this poll.

I welcome the Rinos emptying their wallets
to run Judas Pence, who barely registered above
the dead in the poll.

Every time the media says he’s losing his domination, another
bit of evidence comes up to show them just how stupid they
have been and continue to be.

The sad think is, DeSantis is portrayed as losing support,
when I don’t think he gives a rats ass.

This draft DeSantis effort is so ill conceived.

Looks like it’s the 99% vs the 1%. we are the elites.

Well, if Trump goes the miles for re-election it’ll be quite a thing.

I seem to remember protests, beating MAGA people, and all sorts of hooliganism including the fortified pizza box election, the two faulty impeachments, the pee pee gate.

This time around will we need to be armed? Will the FIB run Ray Epps( and a host of thousand all graduates of Quantico and or Langley?) Feds? Will there be Las Vegas shootings? Boston marathon bombings? Another lock down with Ebola Zaire or heterosexual monkey pox?

Will they bring some trumped charge and deem him more than mentally incapable AND send him to prison for something that never happened?

The uncivil war has just begun? I don’t trust what the government has become and certainly have quite an imagination for what it will do after two yoears of a fake pandemic and rolling out some dementia old coot as POTUS.

We’re in deep sh*t.
