What will CPAC 2021 reveal about the Republican Party's direction? Just take a look at the speaker list and see for yourself.

Conservative activists will gather at the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) annual convention on February 25–28.  This year's event will be held in Orlando, Florida.  This is the first time in 50 years that CPAC's annual meeting was not in the Washington, D.C. area.  This is because of strict coronavirus guidelines in Maryland and D.C.

Here is a list of CPAC speakers to date.  At this point, neither Donald Trump nor Mike Pence is scheduled to speak, but it is hard to think they won't be there.  One shouldn't count Eric Trump out, either.

This year's meeting will be an important indication of which way the Republican Party is headed.  Will it be a MAGA party or one in the Bush/McCain/Romney mold?  The fact that none of the big-name Trump antagonists like Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, Mitch McConnell, and Liz Cheney will be there to make their case is telling.

The liberal media will try to bury what comes out of CPAC.  When they're not doing that, they'll be twisting things to look as unfavorable as possible.  Any hiccup will be magnified, and conservative activists will be painted as near domestic terrorists for questioning the 2020 election steal.  Silicon Valley is doing its part also to tamp down enthusiasm at CPAC. The Washington Examiner reports that CPAC "is likely to offer its own streaming app now that YouTube has moved to bar videos questioning the 2020 election."  This is censorship by the geeks, which has become the new norm.

Exactly. Cruz isn’t perfect, but he’s more reliably conservative than 95% of the GOP Congressional Caucus.

If the GOP was in charge of US military forces in Korea in the summer of 1950 they would have retreated to the South Pole before deciding to make a stand against the North Korean Army and once at the South Pole they would have surrendered.

If they wouldn’t stand on having a presidential election stolen how do you think they will do when the assault weapons ban, registration lists and all the other communist crap comes down the road.

Maybe Trump is ON the list - and they don’t want to upset the lefties that he was invited. Maybe, it’s a surprise!

[[[[I’ve been listening to Steve Bannon’s podcast and he’s had a gentleman on there that says fully half of the Republican Precinct Chairs are unfilled and that the establishment doesn’t want you to know the position even exists.

This is how you take over the party. Everything else will be futile.

Who cares. The entire thing was a huge fail and did absolutely nothing positive to advance anything.

Other than Ted Cruz, looks like a pretty good list.

As a senator, Cruz is pretty damn good.

As the perfect conservative, I am the only one on the list and you sure as hell aren't even close.

What's your bitch about Cruz today?

How about we just start with what a duplicitous, back-stabbing, dishonest bastard he is?!

Ted Cruz: President Trump was “Both Reckless and Irresponsible” and Did Not Prove Election Fraud in Any Court (VIDEO)

And for having a reputation as a so-called "Constitutional-based" attorney, he is either lying or failed miserably at doing his own research, or was relying on the so-called main-stream media to not allow the actual truth to get out:

Just realized that the link to the article discussing how many cases Trump won was incorrect.

Here is the correct link:

I had been all in for Cruz up until the Indiana primary.

He lost me here, with his backing AOC on having borth control pills over the counter.

“What’s your bitch about Cruz today?”

Just that he kicked Trump in the ass when the media and Dems had Trump on the ground after the the election. Otherwise a great Senator, which is why I voted for him twice!

Yea, I agree. Cruz, after supporting Hillary at the Republican Convention, will likely get BOO’d by CPAC. They want conservatives, not Trump-haters.
