Former President Trump plans to attack Bush-era Republicans in his remarks to the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday and urge those in attendance to finish the job of transforming the GOP by backing him for the White House in 2024.
Trump is expected to deliver CPAC’s keynote address at roughly 5:30 p.m. in remarks that are expected to last roughly 90 minutes. Trump has been a staple of the annual gathering for years, delivering marquee speeches during and after his presidency.
The event, this year in National Harbor, Maryland, is now dominated by his most ardent supporters and he is expected to easily win the conference’s 2024 presidential straw poll.
“Trump has completely remade the party since he’s become president,” a Trump aide told Axios.
CPAC has been diminished this year in the wake of allegations that conference boss Matt Schlapp groped a male staffer of Herschel Walker’s Georgia Senate campaign.
Schlapp, who has denied the allegation, was later served by a lawsuit from the anonymous accuser. Big stars like former Vice President Pence, Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel have all been MIA.

“Go get em Donald.
Personally I’m so very sick and tired of rino’s who talk the talk and fall lockstep with the communist democrats”
Do you have anything such as policies, actions and remarks By DeSantis and those considering him besides name calling? I’m sick and tired of emotional thinking instead of evaluation and consideration of facts.
Every candidate has flaws and strengths.
My post mentioned neither - just listed accomplishments.
I will continue to post facts.

“Trump does what he does at his own peril.
My question is are the attacks helping get votes he doesn’t already have?......I sincerely doubt it.”
Excellent point that many ignore.
you’re using looney leftist tactics with your regurgitation of news 3 years ago...
educate yourself about what desantis did afterwards...
DeSantis was AGAINST the lockdowns, and clearly only followed Trump’s guidance. This has been pointed out to you multiple times before yet you keep insisting DeSantis not Trump was responsible for the lockdowns. Try to commit it to permanent memory this time:
After talk with Trump, Florida reverses course on coronavirus stay-at-home order
President Donald Trump had direct praise for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at a press conference Tuesday: “Great governor. Knows exactly what he’s doing.” Trump hailed Florida’s response to the novel coronavirus outbreak as he answered a question about the Republican’s resistance to issuing statewide stay-at-home restrictions for Floridians.
DeSantis has developed a close relationship with the president and the two speak frequently.
DeSantis said he spoke with the president and other White House officials about Wednesday’s decision to order Floridians to stay at home, prior to the announcement.
From the beginning of the coronavirus spread in the U.S., DeSantis faced scrutiny over what some critics have described as a lackadaisical approach to restricting gatherings and ordering the closing of various businesses as some other states were quicker to do so.
Last month, when photographs of crowded beaches filled with spring breakers emerged, the governor left the decision to close beaches to local municipalities.
Prior to the reversal, when specifically asked about DeSantis not issuing a stay-at-home order, the U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said on NBC that his “advice to America would be that these guidelines are a national stay at home order” as he held up the White House recommendations to slow the spread of the virus.
He also had the benefit of Hillary as an opponent, THE most vilified woman in the US. He didn't do so well against the occupier of the basement.
I Want him to talk about a balance budget. But I don’t think he believes in that. If he doesn’t he’s no different than anyone else.
Attack the DEMOCRATS, President Trump. While the Bushies are a bunch of turncoats, when you attack the Democrats, you attack them, too.
It’s absolutely a winning strategy. The Bush wing of the party is more than 20% and does nothing but undermine the conservative base,
Like you I’m sticking with Trump in 2024, flaws and all. DeSantis backers can talk all they want for their man. Fine by me. His connections to the Bush Machine will eventually be shown and will sink his campaign and his future presidential chances.
It's political suicide for him to challenge Trump. He's 2024's Ted Cruz if he does.
That’ll leave a mark! 😅
Here’s who gets my vote: the one who pledges to declare fentanyl a WMD, and classify the drug cartels with ISIS. That’s all I ask...I’ve been gerrymandered into a district that’s 75% Democrat. My vote counts for zero, zip, nada.
All Trump cares about now is solidifying his base for the primaries. He has apparently calculated that his base is the Only Trumpers and fringe secret servers in Germany nutbags. So that means lots of rhetorical bomb throwing since that’s what they love.
AMEN!
Because of demographic shifts and the USSC greenlighting massive election fraud simply by default of refusing to address the issue, no Republican of any stripe is likely to ever win the white house again anyway.
So this entire sharade is just the whole party going through the motions for likely nothing.
They will pick market profits..
Cuz they think the markets are greedy and don’t understand what it really means.
Oh please, your TDS has overtaken you. There is no coming together with GOPe.
Please clap, and clap.
