Rand Paul: 31%
Ted Cruz: 11%
All the other losers (Christie, Bush): less than 10%
To: PaulCruz2016
I thought Christie was coming back.
Rand has clashed with Christie more than Cruz.
To: PaulCruz2016
So the Ron Paul cultists turned out for Rand.

That's a good result. As long as Cruz and Paul are always first and second, there's a good chance we can get a Cruz/Paul ticket. Or Paul/Cruz.
Either way, the ticket wins the election.

This was about beating Christie.
To: PaulCruz2016
After hearing about the background of those attending CPAC I am not sure I would ever support such a group. I wondered why Ted needed to be at such an event but he has to touch all the hands in his run for president. I just hope he remembers where he came from when he makes it over the top.

Makes sense. CPAC has a younger audience than the general GOP electorate. I congratulate him. Cruz is still my #1 pick though.

His support for McConnell probably put him over the top.
To: PaulCruz2016
This is meaningless, half the voters were under 30 years old. That is a group who don’t show up at the polls.
Also, the Paul’s push legalized marijuana which may account for Paul’s popularity with the Pothead vote.
I like Ted Cruz, but he doesn’t inherit Pauliacs.

Folks. A Paul always seems to win CPAC. Doesn't mean a thing.
As I pointed out in my previous post Ron won in 2010 and 2011.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Your comment reminds me that Ron Paul was thought to be Anti Semitic.
I don’t know enough about Rand to think he is pro Palestinian but we shall be watching to see if his campaign is getting a lot of Arab money
