Florida Governor Ron DeSantis emerged as the victor over former President Donald Trump in a straw poll organized by the Young Republicans, causing a meltdown in MAGA world.
The Young Republicans National Convention, held in Dallas, saw active participation from members across the nation. At the end of the event, the organization shared the results of a poll taken of attendees.
“Straw Poll Results Are In! YRs across the country participated in a straw poll at YRNC Dallas. And it’s clear that YRs are divided between two contenders. Ron DeSantis comes in with 36.6% of the support, closely followed by Donald Trump at 35.4%.”
The tweet triggered an immediate and foaming-at-the-mouth backlash from the MAGA movement. Laura Loomer, a borderline insane and prominent Trump supporter, denounced the Young Republicans’ choice of DeSantis.
“Future uniparty shills coming out strong for a failed candidate who was just rejected by his own PAC today for being too much of a ‘rookie’,” Loomer wrote.
“No statement on the politicized arrest of President Trump but they had time to publish a pro-DeSantis straw poll with no sample size,” whine Gavin Wax, another prominent Trumpster.
Up and down the interwebs, Trump supporters moaned and groaned about DeSantis winning a single straw poll despite Trump leading in every national poll.
This of course begs the question: Why are they so scared? Is there something they know that we don’t?

Ywn. Are you cnn?
Trump is way ahead
Laura Loomer, is not borderline insane just a kook as are many who are enamored of Trump.
Who do people react so negatively to polls that polls that don’t agree with their views?
They’re not scared, they are just trying to destroy any glimmer of hope that DeSantis thinks he has. For Trump and his supporters, it’s not enough to beat your opponents, you have to CRUSH and ANNIHILATE them.
Please stop copying and pasting fake news polls.
I’ve asked this a number of times.
Not sure what that last question means. Of course when we see so many people who don’t get it we ARE “scared” for this country… – הוי מתפלל בשלומה של מלכות
Trump is a Professional Loser on every level.
Dear Yanky,
Are you too scared to read the article? There is nothing here about who will win the 2024 nomination. Trump is for real wimps. Desantis is for those who are fooled by wimps. Either way, strong leadership is not in this country’s future.
Trump is a Professional Loser?! How recently did you land in this world?
You could like trump. I like trump too. But you need a winner. Face it- trump isn’t winning. He’ll never win in a general election. DeSantis can. That’s it. It’s pretty simple.
Yawn
fake chareidi:
Against astonishing odds, he became President of the USA. That would disqualify anybody from the term “loser”.
Biden is a professional thief on many levels
Several months ago, we read here a story about Trump’s reaction to another group of right-wing “young” republicans (Turning Points) straw poll at their annual meeting. I cannot post a link to the post but here is what he said.
“Just heard that I (WE!) won the big Turning Point Straw Poll in a BLOWOUT, getting 85.7% of the Vote,” Trump gloated on Truth Social.
That poll had about as much relevance as the young Republicans
lies must be the highest commodity these days……Trump will always walk beyond DeSantis…..
