I think the Write In Candidate is Bernie Sanders.
I think this is indicative of the grassroots support that does not show up in the other polls being conducted. There is simply no other explanation for such a strong principled Conservative not being higher in those polls.
I think it is safe to say Trump won’t be mentioning this poll. Probably also proves he was infact booed at this summit for calling Rubio a “clown” considering Marco got almost 3 times the vote as “the Donald” did. Yes, it is just a straw poll and has no real scientific value - but it measures support of an important group of conservative voters. And the lack of a polls scientific value has never stopped Trump from touting them when he wins one.
