The mainstream media love writing the narrative of crisis, division and disarray in the conservative moment.

So it was no surprise this week when Time magazine published an article titled “The Conservative Grassroots Faces a Crisis at Its Annual Meetup.” It must be missing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where thousands of grass-roots activists from across the country are gathering this week to celebrate the Trump victory and prepare for battles that lie ahead.

At CPAC, conservative warriors are energized, united and excited about supporting the president and his vision for America. They might not agree with every aspect of his agenda, but they recognize his efforts in pushing some major conservative initiatives such as the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court, repealing and replacing Obamacare, and rebuilding the U.S. relationship with Israel.

Conservatives acknowledge that President Trump is not a purist, and establishment conservatives have criticized him on issues such as infrastructure spending and trade. But even the conservative establishment can agree that Mr. Trump is making a concerted effort to keep his campaign promises. He also has assembled a team of top conservative leaders, including Vice President Mike Pence and senior counselor Kellyanne Conway, to further the movement.

the “hold them accountable” applies to House & Senate Republicans also. They are the weakest of the three legs of the stool.

I’d say conservatives are coalescing nicely around Trump. Ryan and McConnel have even shit their yaps.

I trust Bannon with the planet. I can see the decades of analysis and worry on him, he’s given it all to ending the Left.

He’s about to fix Europe, too. Godspeed, man.

The "hold them accountable" applies to House and Senate Republicans also

Isn't it something? When they knew Obama wouldn't sign the things they passed, they voted for everything we wanted. Now that they have a President who will sign those bills, they aren't passing them. What despicable back-stabbing scum they are proving to be!
