RINOs Must Be Livid After Seeing These Lopsided Straw Poll Results
The Republican National Committee can’t be happy about these straw poll results that have just come in. Not happy at all. Why?
Because big government (i.e. “moderate”) candidates are getting crushed by those who lean Tea Party.
Now, really, how bad can it be, you say? Is it just a few percentage points difference between big government Republicans and those with values that we can actually support?
How about 17-19% difference. That’s not a typo.

“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.”
Never mind that Jeb Bush got less than three percent and Chris Christie got less than one percent.
Watch them rachet up efforts to silence the Tea Party, so they can push through their pet candidates. But maybe we should ship coffee by the crate (or Tea for a Tea Party) to the RNC so they can wake up and smell the coffee, because big government candidates are not cutting it this year.
