Behind Trump's CPAC deal gone bad
Politico ^ | March 4, 2016 | Kenneth P. Vogel

Posted on 03/04/2016 5:36:46 PM PST by Innovative

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.

No, the question is: WHY are YOU so interested on male genitalia ?

My next question is : How old are you ?

The booger eaters are also interested in other people’s genitalia; so I guess they love little Marco Amnesty lover too.

“you needs must” is Elizabethan English.

It’s short for “needs must when the devil drives” ... in other words, if the devil is driving you, you have no alternative.

You obviously are not very thorough:

Ah, you corrected yourself while I was responding...I’ll have to overlook your boorishness, due to the correction...

Go back to elementary school.

Elementary school was where I learned that the phrase ‘need must’ is perfectly good English usage...you obviously skipped Charles Dickens writings in your own studies...

"NOPE" ?

REALLY ? You imagine that Cruz can win N.Y. State? WHEN PIGS FLY AND GLENN BECK REGAINS HIS SANITY !

Cruz can't beat Trump in a debate, nor in most states, but you delusionally imagine that he can beat Trump to the nomination AND win the presidency? You need a LOT of mental help.

I’ve been to both CPAC and SRLC Events.

At least once at each venue, the Ron Paul Sycophants were bussed in, arrived before Ron Paul spoke and spent their time harassing the Speaker who came up before him.

As soon as Ron was finished talking, they were out of there.

In other words, stuff like this is nothing new, unless the Organizers were in on the Trump diss. If they were in on it I would say that isn’t a Conservative trait and they outed themselves as nothing more than Establishment Hacks.

I was reviewing the forum posts and Dickens caught my eye. This opening passage has been a mind worm for the past couple of years.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
