Rand Paul won the CPAC 2015 straw poll again. This is the third year in a row that Rand Paul has won this poll. Like his daddy, the Paulians vote for Rand Paul like communists vote for Democrats. Scott Walker was second in the CPAC 2015 straw poll.

| Rand Paul Wins CPAC Straw Poll … again |
“I am humbled by the enthusiastic support and encouragement I received this week at the Conservative Political Action Conference,” Paul said in a statement released by his PAC. “Our party is filled with constitutional conservatives who have chosen to stand with me for a third consecutive straw poll victory.
“…The Constitutional Conservatives of our party have spoken in a loud and clear voice today. I plan on doing my part and I hope you will join me as I continue to make the GOP a bigger, better and bolder party.”
In third place was Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) with 11.5 percent, followed by pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson with 11.4 percent, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 8.3 percent.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.) got 4.3 percent, and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) got 3.7 percent.
The straw poll had 3,007 votes, a 20 percent increase over last year’s conference participation. Forty-two percent of those voting were students.
Three out of 10 CPAC voters said foreign policy would be their most important issue in picking a presidential candidate. Seven in 10 wanted a “peace through strength” foreign policy when asked about international disengagement.
