Former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Friday praised Donald Trump for his last-minute decision to skip the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). CPAC organizers announced Friday that the GOP presidential front-runner had dropped out of his commitment to speak at the conference on Saturday morning.
The real estate mogul's campaign issued a statement shortly after saying he would instead be campaigning in Kansas and Florida.
“Because of this, he will not be able to speak at CPAC as he has done for many consecutive years,” the statement read. “Mr. Trump would like to thank Matt Schlapp and all of the executives at CPAC and looks forward to returning to next year, hopefully as President of the United States.” Trump has been heavily criticized by many Republicans, and some speakers at the gathering took the opportunity take shots at the front-runner.

Bolton is HORRIBLE! Extreme RINO. For all the wrong things consistently. I believe he’s been a smug ass when it comes to Trump.
My money is on Kasich for VP.
he’s already said NO...
CPAC were too busy with homosexuals telling us we had to accept them while fairy boy ran and got what he wanted.
I am a Yuuuuge Newt fan, but.Newt missed his turn. He will be too old to take the helm when Trump retires.

Here are Kirk’s main ten principles of conservatism.
http://www.kirkcenter.org/index.php/detail/ten-conservative-principles/
Fox Snooze, starting with the Outnumbered girls at noon, made the news of Trump canceling at CPAC into Breaking News with its own Fox Snooze alerts, and much concerned discussion all afternoon, culminating with Special Report.
Here’s a news flash: nobody cares about CPAC and 99.7% of Americans don’t even know what it is, or that their conference is taking place now.
Keep telling it loud and proud, Wendle.
Yeah, conservatism. There are some essential planks. And there are fixtures, and there are ornaments that are works in progress.
Planks: life, school choice, right to work, secure borders, traditional family/homosexuality is wrong—oops ...
That let’s out CPAC!
They should change their name to MPAC: Moderate Political Action Conference. Or NCPAC-Neo-con Political Action Committee, or DLPAC-DemLite Political Action Committee.
Conservative? No.
Oh yeah—they just gave their support to Ted Cruz today in a voice vote.
A Conservative is a fellow who is standing athwart history yelling ‘Stop!’

Newt is only saying what I’ve been thinking since Trump said he’s not going to CPAC. Why should he have?
Like Newt said, the votes are in Kansas, not the CPAC circle jerk.
They like to hang out with faggots that call themselves Log Cabin Republicans. We know Cruz does, because he begs then for money, and his buddy crazy Beck has said sodomite “marriage” is a “Constitutional right.”
Bolton came out a month ago and endorsed a who’s who of establishment warmongers for reelection. Needless to say he did not endorse Trump.
What’s that thing’s FR handle?
Chief of Staff. Trump will want someone from a state that they cancarry like Ohio or Pennsylvania.
“pundip”
I learned a new word today—thanks!
OK . I don’t care how we save this country from these rino bastards. JUST SAVE IT. I have a family!! Get bold or Get dead.
You’re welcome. It popped into my mind with the thought that some/many pundits are not that good at ‘punditting’ thus....
And most of them ARE dips..........
