May just be election year scuttlebutt.
I think it’s scuttlebutt. Pretty sure Trump got wind of the walkout plans and also, he got into a tiff with someone about who/how he’d have to answer questions.
Considering how it all played out, given the CPAC straw poll results, confirmations of the planned walkout, and standing ovations for GOPe stooges, he was smart to skip it.

He skipped CPAC because he didn’t want to take questions from the audience.
