The TedNado absolutely obliterated Trump and everyone else in the straw poll at the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference today.
Here are the results:

Daaaaang!! Them Pennsylvanians sure do love their consistent Constitutional Cuban Conservatives from Canada!!
If you can’t read the small type, here they are:
- Ted Cruz 247
- Marco Rubio 16
- Ben Carson 4
- Jeb Bush 2
- Donald Trump 52
- John Kasich 51
- I’m writing someone in 9
By the percentages, Cruz got 64.83%, Donald Trump is at 13.65%, and John Kasich is right behind him with 13.38%. That’s a YUUUGE lead for Ted!!
Now of course, this is just among 381 people who voted in this straw poll at the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference – but it shows what conservative activists want, even if it’s not necessarily representative of Republicans or the greater electorate in Pennsylvania.
And it helps to be a rock star:

That almost looks like Sarah Palin he’s counseling! “It’s awful! He won’t let me stop campaigning and he writes these terrible speeches for me to read! Save me Ted, you’re my only hope!!” But that’s just my impromptu lip reading from the picture, so it may not be terribly accurate.
