RNC Straw Poll Lists 36 Presidential Candidates

The Republican field for president is remarkably large, but are there really 36 possible contenders for the nomination? That’s how many options a new online straw poll from the Republican National Committee offers.

“Ted Cruz. Rand Paul. Marco Rubio. Ben Carson. Carly Fiorina. Mike Huckabee. These are just a few of the conservative leaders who have announced their candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination,” reads an email from the RNC announcing the poll. “It’s quite an impressive lineup so far. And it’s still growing. Who are you rooting for?”
