NFRA: Cruz Wins 2016 Endorsement After Trump Wins Straw Poll
 |
| Donald Trump Speaking at 2016 NFRA Endorsement Convention. Trump won straw poll with 52% |
Sharron Angle, NFRA President said, “The NFRA vetted all 17 Presidential Candidates based on our principles and values, which are posted at RepublicanAssemblies.org. Donald Trump was well received by the crowd at Rocketown and won the NFRA straw poll [editor's note: Donald Trump 52%, Cruz 24% & and Carson was 3rd.], entertaining the hundreds of attendees wishing to hear him. After a thoughtful deliberation and lengthy review of all the candidates, the NFRA membership endorsed Ted Cruz. Donald Trump came in second place, and Scott Walker was third.”
After the Trump “hoopla” died down, Angle encouraged the membership, “We’ve had fun today but now we must be serious. Take care not cast your ballots based on a winning smile, a magnetic personality, or a Chris Matthews ‘tingle up our leg.” In the NFRA 2012 endorsing convention in Iowa, Ron Paul enthusiasts crammed the hall to vote for their candidate in the straw poll. Ron Paul won the straw poll that year but, Rick Santorum won the NFRA endorsement. After winning the NFRA endorsement in 2012, Rick Santorum went on to win the Iowa Caucus.
The NFRA membership voted by an overwhelming two-thirds majority to endorse Ted Cruz. “We work hard to support the candidates we endorse in all the states, because we are in this to win.” [Editor's Note: Ted Cruz declined the invite to the NFRA Convention]
Americans Across America: Sharron Angle sees the wave coming, “We start early, we work hard. NFRA members vote in primaries! We bring critical thinking to the process of selecting a Presidential candidate. The NFRA members came from Nevada, Florida, Texas, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Alaska, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Arizona, Utah, Alabama, Rhode Island, Virginia, California, and others. They went home united for Cruz. We believe our early support will help Ted Cruz surge to a -lead just as Santorum surged in 2012.”

Great choice.
I like Trump because he's making the RINOS very uncomfortable and talking about issues they'd rather not. But he's a Democrat. I'm very surprised and disappointed that he came in second. Cruz is really the only true conservative who's running. We finally have the real deal!
