Donald Trump spent five years building a mutually beneficial relationship with the organization that hosts the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, filling its coffers with at least $150,000 in cash and scoring coveted speaking slots that started him on a course towards winning the Republican presidential nomination.
But he ended up canceling what would have been his biggest CPAC speech at the last minute amid plans for protest and disruptions, apparently deciding that his surging presidential campaign no longer needed any boost from the once-storied group.

He was right to avoid an ambush..
More Politico garbage spin.
Trump skipped CPAC because he was told he would have to answer questions from the crowd.
From an earlier article the protesters were organized by other candidates. Which IMO is even worse.
Do they have safe areas for neocons and GOpe dopes that can't stand to listen to Trump's "racist, sexist, homophobic, islamophobic" language?
Big mistake for him not being there. Cruz took advantage of his absence.
CPAC is owned by the ACU, increasingly an amnesty and pro-Muslim entity. It’s a matter of time until those who favor border enforcement and the end of mass legal Muslim immigration are banned from CPAC.
BS! Trump is in this to win each and every state and with Cruz just 6 points behind in Kansas he made a strategic decision to go to Wichita and speak to another enthusiastic crowd of thousands.
The idiotic thing would be to go to the CPAC circle-jerk instead like Cruz did, where he is no doubt seeing the advice and counsel of his good friend Glenn Beck.
Glenn Beck has threatened to stab Trump repeatedly. He is one of the speakers slated for Sunday. CPAC didn’t pull Beck. Why should Trump go when they are planning to humiliate him?
He was right to avoid an ambush..
Maybe the SS told him that Beck might be there!
Glenn Beck: If I Got Close Enough To Trump, ‘The Stabbing Just Wouldn’t Stop’

During the Friday broadcast of his radio show, Glenn Beck said that if he were present at Thursday night’s Republican debate, and “had a knife,” he would have stabbed Donald Trump.
“I don’t know what I would have done if I was sitting in” Cruz or Rubio’s shoes, Beck stated. “I can’t say it that way. If I were on the stage, I would have said, ‘have you been listening to him tonight? Have you been listening to what I say about him?’ I believe these things.”
“If I was close enough and had a knife, the stabbing just wouldn’t stop.”
The Secret Service has not responded to TheDC’s initial inquiry on the matter.

And the only people who noticed - or cared - were the Cruz supporters.
And Trump will take advantage of a BIG rally in KS, instead.
Big mistake for him not being there. Cruz took advantage of his absence.
Trump always answers questions from the crowd everywhere he goes.
Do Cruzstaceans always have to lie?
CPAC is not a place people just have to be anymore.
It is a RINO convention. Trump missed nothing and gained from being at a rally instead.
Come on now. You can do better then that. He answers questions at his campaign stops. He takes question from more TV pundents than any other candidate. Shy and afraid he is NOT.
“. . . five years building a mutually beneficial relationship with the organization . . . filling its coffers with at least $150,000 in cash”
HA! Great try, Politico, attempting to imply that is a great investment by Trump. Over five years.
Next.
Cruzers are worse than Paulbots when it comes to fanatical. Their candidate or else.
