That "former guy" only got 55% votes of the straw pole!

I am not who got the rest, but I would have thought he would have gotten way more votes in that straw poll?

1. That's a LOW NUMBER for someone SO popular within the party.

I bet he was expecting over 80 % or more.

2. Exactly!

3. It will be interesting how this poll reverbs in the Republican caucus....

at suspect the polling and Lie-athon will start many relooking at the calculus of supporting Trump.

4. Might convince them that the former guy really is a loser, and they need

to jump ship.

5. You might think the most devout of cult members would be there, but it takes money.

If tickets and expenses were paid for the most rabid of his followers to be there, he'd get closer to what he expected. Republicans with money got what they wanted as far as the tax cuts and judges. I bet they hope he goes away without doing any more damage. You might not get many to say that on camera though.
