Vladimir Putin Wins CPAC Straw Poll For The 2016 Presidential Election

WASHINGTON D.C. — This year at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) many familiar faces were in attendance and even more familiar ideologies.

Among those in attendance were Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, as well as several others.

Every year at CPAC, a straw poll is held to see which candidate supporters and attendees would like to see run for president. The contenders are a tight crew with Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. Rick Perry, Sen. Rand Paul, Sen. Ted Cruz, and even Sarah Palin. However, this year, there was a write-in candidate that overwhelmingly stole the spotlight and the win for the 2016 spotlight.

It seems the winner of the 2014 CPAC straw poll for President of the United States was none other than Russian President Vladimir Putin. He actually won by such a clear margin, that many are considering prematurely dropping out of the race.

“He stands for everything we believe in,” said Rand Paul. “Small government, and low taxes.”
