The Telling CPAC Straw Poll

 

The horrid, fascism-fluffing CPAC ended this weekend, but not before they took a straw poll to see who the mouth breathing brownshirts preferred in 2024. It won't surprise you that the majority preferred their cult leader, the Malignant Loser. But it may surprise you that only 62% preferred him (20 percent chose Florida's Il Duce Ron "Bootsie" DeSantis). That's weak for someone who had no major 2024 candidate appearing at the right-wing hate fest, aside from the opportunistic Nimrata Nicky Haley and porcine Mike Pompeo. Some had even referred to CPAC as TPAC: Trump Political Action Conference. Anything less than, say, 90% is embarrassing for the Malignant Loser. Sad!

Evidence that the crowd was getting high on their own supply was who they preferred as the Vice Presidential candidate: Arizona's sore loser and Eva Braun wannabe Kari Lake, who won a plurality of votes out of 28 possible choices. What a ticket that would be: two delusional demagogues whining incessantly about their past elections being "stolen," while busily losing the one they're in.
