Of course, CPAC polls have nothing to do with what the GOP will actually do, or how they’ll decide next year. Thing is, each is nuttier than the next.

You’ve got a couple of current or former governors who have shown themselves incapable of balancing budgets, engaging in bullying or other misconduct, or incapable of completing their terms (you get to put the name with the conduct, and there are multiple correct answers).

You’ve got a couple of business people whose claims to fame include sinking legendary brands or are notable for building a brand on other people’s money only to go bankrupt multiple times. Or got rich because of dad’s real estate empire.

And finally, you’ve got a couple of Senators whose efforts are nuttier than the next, and who have encouraged the House to engage in increasingly unhinged actions that have led to a GOP led shutdown, and whose rhetoric is not met with any kind of substance since they have no actual record of legislative achievement to speak of.

Woo. What a party! /
