Ted Cruz SURPRISES the GOP Beltway Establishment Pundits at the FFPC Florida Straw Poll (May 19, 2015) in Orlando, Florida.

A virtual dead-heat between Ted Cruz (30.3 %) and supposed "Florida native son darling" Marco Rubio (30.7 %).


Jed Bush and Scott Walker finished poorly in a third-place tie with a paltry 8.9 % each, barely passing an otherwise weak showing by Rick Santorum (6.7 %), Rand Paul (4.5 %), Ben Carson (3.4 %), Mike Huckabee (2.2 %) and Rick Perry (1.1 %).

GOP 2016 candidates Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, and John Kasich each received "zero" straw poll votes.


Political analysts view this straw poll victory for Senator Ted Cruz as reinforcing the idea that America's Conservative voters are deciding very early on to consolidate behind the best qualified genuine conservative candidates, and NOT repeat the disaster of the "Political Circular Firing Squad" in 2012 when Mitt Romney and the Karl Rove Establishment GOP defeated in detail otherwise excellent candidates such as Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.


Shown below (photograph courtesy of conservative political consultant Kevin Wright) are ten of the estimated twenty-five Ted Cruz Florida grassroots supporters who attended the FFPC event.

Their attendance was noteworthy in that most of the Ted Cruz attendees received only three days advance notice of the event.


Douglas Coggeshall, a Conservative Evangelical Christian who is building a Florida grassroots organization for all of Florida's 67 counties, challenged the FFPC event's attendees to build effective county-level grassroots organizations NOW, to defeat the Jeb Bush GOP $ 100 million dollar juggernaut in the GOP Presidential State primaries in 2016.


Coggeshall invited event attendees to participate in the July 18 Tampa planning meeting for the Ted Cruz Florida Grassroots Victory Campaign.


The Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC) event was superbly moderated by John Stemberger (Florida attorney) who presented a comprehensive examination of individual candidate strengths and weaknesses prior to the straw poll vote.


Discussion leads included Carl Stevens, Sara Johnson, Florida Senator Alan Hayes, Bryan Empric, Karin Hoffman and Pastor Kurt Kelly.

Discussion leaders Carl Jackson (columnist) and Karin Hoffman (Tea Party national leader) pointed to Ted Cruz's extraordinary record of accomplishment while serving as U.S. Senator, and his unique quality of NOT having "flip-flopped" on any campaign issues, unlike GOP 2016 presidential candidates Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Ben Carson, Rick Santorum, Scott Walker.


Florida State Senator Alan Hayes received a standing ovation as the Florida Family Policy Council (FFPC) recognized his accomplishments and dedication to successfully passing legislation to protect unborn children in Florida.

Sen. Hayes’ powerful leadership in the Florida Pro-Life movement was enthusiastically applauded.

[JRandomFreeper]

I'll have to add Cruz to my budget list for next month.

I look forward to having a real conservative to support.

Excellent work, Patton!

[erod]

Keep that momentum flowing!

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

As smart as Cruz is, I would rather see a Governor on the top of the ticket in 2016 and 2020 and Cruz as VP.

[Menthops]

Ted is bravely and boldly taking the fight to Florida against the entrenched state GOPe interests, just like he took the fight against Obamacare and Amnesty to Capitol Hill.

This man is so inspiring! This is how he is going to crush Hillary in a LANDSLIDE.

It is high time the various GOPe interests infiltrating the “conservative movement” to lay off the anti-Ted smears.

[Tupelo]

No on your VP idea.
I would prefer, Walker as President. Then when the inevitable vacancy occurs on the Supreme Court, appoint Cruz.
Justice Cruz or better yet Chief Justice Cruz for the next 40+ years is much better than a President Cruz for the next 8.

[rrrod]

Good news and alarming news....Glad Ted won but look at the votes for people that have no chance of anything...not even VP. huckster,Paul, Carson, Santorum, Christie.....

[b4its2late]

Me too!

[jch10]

Contribute to Ted Cruz or this organization if you can. Grassroots is where we have to begin if we win in 2016. Ignore the GOPe....FULL SPEED AHEAD!!

[JRandomFreeper]

That's ok. You do what you gotta do.

I've got an agenda, and intend to see Cruz as the last man standing when the primaries are over.

I'm not interested in the media or GOP-E picking the candidate this time.

School choice sounds great, until you realize the Trayvon Martin’s and Mike Brown’s of the world will wind up terrorizing your kid’s school.

I'm not interested in the media or GOP-E picking the candidate this time.

Agreed. It's "our" turn this time. 7 in a row for GOPe is long enough... that's 7 of the last 9.

Romeny, McPain, Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush - GOPe.

Hey, GOPe, it's GOPtp's turn for at least the next 2 cycles.

[JRandomFreeper]

For some reason, I don't think you were ever going to vote for Cruz in the primary.

That is ok. Lots of people with an agenda will pick up the slack, and send Cruz real money to make sure that Cruz is the last one standing.

“Justice Cruz or better yet Chief Justice Cruz for the next 40+ years is much better than a President Cruz for the next 8.”

I like that idea, but also think the damage to this country has occurred so quickly under Obama that we need a quick turn-around, something only a president (and congress, if the separation of powers is not ignored) can accomplish.

[Jane Long]

Awesome work! Thanks for your efforts and enthusiasm.

“Justice Cruz or better yet Chief Justice Cruz for the next 40+ years is much better than a President Cruz for the next 8.”

Disagree. President Cruz could place 2-3 like-minded justices on the Supreme Court during an 8 year term. His power to undue the damage at every level of the executive branch would go further, too. Ted Cruz is the best man for POTUS.

At this point, I’m not terribly impressed with the governors who are taking credit for legislation they signed their names to.

Rick Snyder gets credit for RTW in Michigan but it was the legislature who introduced and passed the legislation. There was real concern that he wouldn’t sign it but the union reneged on a deal where Snyder agreed that he wouldn’t push or support RTW from his office.
