Sen. Ted Cruz easily won the CPAC 2016 straw poll, beating second-place finisher Marco Rubio by a wide margin and more than doubling Donald Trump’s vote count.

Fifteen percent really isn’t bad, considering that Trump canceled his appearance at CPAC at the last minute to campaign in Kansas.
Trump was obviously concerned about Cruz in Kansas – he pulled out of CPAC to rally there today.

Speaking of Kansas, early returns there and in Maine suggest that Cruz is going to have a very good day today when races are called.
To recap: Trump left CPAC2016 (where he lost straw poll) to Kansas, where he lost.

Story thus far is that Cruz seems to be having a good day. Not to diminish, but he's a good caucus player. If he wins LA that will be big
