On Twitter, the battle for the GOP presidential nomination appears to be a fight between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. Turning Point Action took a straw poll at its ACTCON 2023 event this weekend, and Trump dominated. More surprisingly, Vivek Ramaswamy came in second ahead of DeSantis. And for vice president? How about Kari Lake?

RedState's Brandon Morse has some good advice for DeSantis:
Trump aside, the popularity of Vivek proves that accessibility to younger generations goes a long way. Vivek's Twitter is flooded with podcasts, interviews, and debates. DeSantis's isn't. It's the digital age and that comes with a LOT of useful tools. Use them. https://t.co/pl8enlhQFn

Vivek is young & dynamic and can clearly articulate his message. It’s not surprising he’s getting this much attention.

I think many are liking the possibility of a Trump/Vivek ticket.
I’ll stay home I November next year if your cult leader is the nominee.

The rise of Vivek has been something to behold. He was the only candidate in the GOP field that could hold his own with Tucker intellectually.

What did you expect? It was a Trump love fest. LOL

That's true … it was a Trump love fest. What we find most interesting are the suggestions for VP — there are some good names in there.
Dominated. TPUSA is a Trump shill organization. This is like saying 15% of Trump Supporters are NOT voting for Trump. These numbers are awful for Trump.

No Trump. Guaranteed loss. And I voted for him twice.

Won't vote on the presidential box if he is Repub choice. He's gone over the edge.
It's nice to see Rep. Byron Donalds becoming a rising star in the GOP. He's one to watch.
