TFG wins CPAC conservative meeting's 2024 presidential straw poll

By Alexandra Ulmer

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) -Some 59% of attendees at the CPAC conservative conference in Florida want former Republican President Donald Trump to be the party's 2024 presidential candidate, according to a straw poll released on Sunday.

Underscoring the unparalleled sway Trump enjoys over the Republican base, his closest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, garnered 28% of votes at the Conservative Political Action Conference gathering in Orlando.

CPAC tends to draw from the more conservative wing of the Republican Party, and its polls are not necessarily a reliable predictor of the eventual nominee. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, for instance, beat out rivals in its 2016 straw poll but Trump ended up clinching the nomination.

Last year in Orlando, Trump reportedly garnered 55% of votes, more than twice as many as DeSantis, who was also a featured speaker. Trump then reportedly received 70% of votes at CPAC's summer gathering in Dallas last July.

They are as out of touch with reality as I am out of touch with 32nd-century fashion trends in the human settlement on planet X2,232 in the delta quadrant.

They are so afraid of his idiot base. They have so little confidence in what they have to offer. And this is why they will lose if we can stop them from cheating. They can't possibly appeal to any reasonable person at this point.

If we can't stop them from cheating, they will win.
