Ron DeSantis coming in several points behind him, at 21%.
Overall, Trump’s approval rating was 97% in the conservative crowd, but 68% of those voting in the straw poll said he should seek the White House again, reports Fox News. Another 95% said they want the party to advance Trump’s policies and America first agenda.

Trump repeatedly tore into President Joe Biden during his CPAC speech on Sunday over a variety of issues ranging from the crisis on the southern border to the millions of American children who are not in school learning.
“Joe Biden has had the most disastrous first month of any president in modern history, that’s true,” Trump said. “Already the Biden administration has proven that they are anti-jobs, anti-family, anti-borders, anti-energy, anti-women, and anti-science. In just one short month, we have gone from America first to America last.”

TRUMP: "There's no reason whatsoever why the vast majority of young Americans should not be back in school immediately. The only reason that most parents do not have that choice is because Joe Biden sold out America's children to the teachers' unions." #CPAC pic.twitter.com/cqvJofpQ5S

Trump urges ouster of ‘RINOs,’ ‘warmonger’ Liz Cheney
Former President Donald Trump on Sunday urged his supporters to vote out “RINOs” in Congress, while encouraging the party to stay united around a pro-worker platform.
“The Democrats don’t have grandstanders like [Senators] Mitt Romney, little Ben Sasse, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Pat Toomey. And in the House, Tom Rice [of] South Carolina, Adam Kinzinger, Dan Newhouse, Anthony Gonzalez — that’s another beauty, Fred Upton, Jaime Herrera Beutler, Peter Meijer, John Katko, David Valadao and of course the warmonger, a person that loves seeing our troops fighting, Liz Cheney, how about that?” Trump said.

President Donald J. Trump full speech below
Trump and DeSantis or Trump Jr. and Desantis for President and Vice President. The problem is the election fraud. I do not believer a Republican can ever be elected to the Presidency, because of the fraud.
I’ve been saying that since Nov. 4th… If this isn’t corrected with hardened laws by the next election (2022) then there is only one option left… and unless the communist occupiers intend to live behind that wall / fence and NEVER leave they don’t stand a chance.
THING IS< till we WIN BACK Seats, how can we ever correct or get rid of this fraud? ITs a chicken and egg situation.
We can't win till we get RID of the fraud,
but we can't change the rules to get RID of the fraud, till we win back control….
Is it just me or is President Trump looking younger every time I see him…. as opposed to clueless biden who looks like he should be doing a guess spot on THE WALKING DEAD tv saga
Glad to see I’m not the only one who’s noticed this. When I started watching his speech at CPAC, I kept thinking he looked ten years younger than when he last spoke as President.
Maybe that’s cause he’s not having to deal with the commucrats, attacking him 24/7?
My email address proliferated in right wing circles and I don’t mind that, because it allow me to see the whole spectrum of “conservatism” from relatively intelligent to just plain dumb. I do receive occasionally some comments from “conservative” outlet called “up first” “aggregated and curated” by intellectual midget Mike Opelka. And here I have gotten his “advise” for Donald Trump which guarantee that right side will be defeated in 2024. Quote: “What many of us could have done without was the return to claims of a ‘rigged’ election. Not only would that omission have pushed more focus on renewing the MAGA policies in the minds of the CPAC faithful, it would have saved us all 30minutes.” …… Hmmmmm! What could save Mr. Opelka 30 minutes for sure would allow “democrats” to repeat electoral fraud in the next presidential election. As Edmund Burke said: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – OR SEE NOTHING !
The Marxist Communist news media today are all trashing the speech because of the President’s insistence on “Lying” about the election. Anyone with an ounce of Gray Matter KNOWS the election was Fraudulently undertaken, and Un-Constitutional especially in the six swing states.
WE could have video proof all over, yet dems STILL WON’T see it.
