“The View” co-host Sara Haines commended prominent Republicans who backed out of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) during Friday’s panel.
A handful of prominent Republicans opted to speak at alternatives to CPAC rather than attend the major conservative conference, where Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Nikki Haley are among the many GOP members scheduled to speak throughout the weekend. Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence and Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin backed out and will speak at an event held by Club for Growth, a fiscally conservative organization reportedly at odds with Trump.
Haines viewed it as a positive sign that big-name Republicans are willing to “save the party” by speaking at Club for Growth rather than CPAC, which the panel alleged is becoming a “fringe” event.
“I’ve only ever heard of CPAC. To hear there’s this Club for Growth and the Principles First, which I only heard about today, I find this really reassuring, because I know you [co-host Joy Behar] make the joke about the Republican Party divorcing each other, but we begged for that for years, when we watched and said, ‘How is nobody speaking up? Why is no one saying anything? Where are the good Republicans?’ This is a sign that they are trying, that there are people trying to save the party that is conservative thoughts, conservative-minded people,” Haines said.
“But DeSantis is also going to go to Club for Growth,” co-host Sunny Hostin pushed back.
“It’s more the fact that if you’re pulling the Republican minds to different places, you are showing that there are going to be some places, like this Principles First Summit … that there are people that are saying, ‘No, we are going to speak up, because this is not who we are,'” Haines continued.

It sounds like your ego could use a little work. Have you reached a state of perfection that the rest of US can mimic? Should we bow down in the grace of your light? What are your great accomplishments in this life? Trump isn't perfect but he is a known quantity. DeSantis is showing you people who he is. I won't ever in this life vote for anymore eGOP trash but you surely are FRee to do so. I suspect most of you TDS types are eGOP anyway so plan your vote for DeSantis and the rest of US will vote Trump. Deal?
I know his Ego is his Achilles heel.
This is a race not a coronation. No one is owed anything.
Nope, 100 percent American First.
Before honor is humility
Three parties? I’ll be darned.
Reminds me of the kids’ table at the big family dinner.
The Party hates Conservatives more than Dems do.
Now back to the pig pen for demented coverage and opinion
