New 2016 Presidential Straw Poll Results are in: the GOP Establishment Won’t be Happy About it!! WHO do the GRASSROOTS prefer??? While the leftstream media, the GOP establishment, and the RINO political consultant class are busy pushing the narrative that squishy moderates like Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and now Jeb Bush are the most “electable,” a new 2016 presidential straw poll shows that the grassroots, as they did in the Reagan years, have a completely different preference. In an online straw poll by the respected site, The Federalist, two anti-establishment candidates who are favorites among America’s grassroots, including the pro-Constitution, pro-liberty Tea Party movement, came in first and second place, while those favored by Democrats and Karl Rove types fared extremely poorly. Out of 16 potential Republican 2016 presidential candidates, Texas Senator Ted Cruz easily took first place, with over 26% of the vote, while Kentucky Senator Rand Paul came in second place, with 22%. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker also fared well in the straw poll, coming in third place while garnering just under 16% of the votes. Considerably back in the field were Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Ben Carson, Rick Perry, and Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican loser, all in the 5-6% range. Pro-Common Core and Pro-Amnesty Jeb Bush received less than three percent, while Marco Rubio, perhaps still hurt by his earlier soft immigration position, received less than two percent. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie received little more than a rounding error, obtaining less than one percent of votes. tpnn/2014/12/29/new-2016-presidential-straw-poll-results-are-in-the-gop-establishment-wont-be-happy-about-it/#.VMQIIbYIrNM.facebook
