“I don’t trust the Pauls. Weak on foreign policy, weak on the borders, weak on defending marriage.”
My thought exactly. So I am concerned that CPAC was way more interested in Paul than Cruz. At least if you gauge popularity via their straw poll.
The Ron Paul organization has always been good at rallying the younger hot doggies to CPAC. That’s as far as it goes though.
The audience seemed very interested in legalizing drugs, which the Paul’s favor or rather having no war on drugs or even treating drugs as alcohol, which definitely pleased the CPAC attendees.
Here, you can see how meaningless it is.
