CPAC Is Still Trump’s, But Something Has Changed

Sarah Palin is history. Once her family situation turned into a dumpster fire her political career — at least on a national level — was over.

Trump-Noem 2024

what if the voters don’t know what is in their own interests

I would wager that Republican Conservative voters know more about the details of current events than most congresscritters and their aides de charge do. So the question voters have in return is, what if the critters don't know what is in their consitutents' interests.

[Kevmo]

Trump’s family history was a dumpster fire, too. She can communicate the message of populist conservatism better than anyone, except Trump.

[cymbeline]

“And for now, that populism is here to stay.”

Is that self-contradictory?

[DoughtyOne]

Straw poll... 2024

55% Trump
21% Second place
08% Third place

Other leading characters??????

LMAO

[Alberta's Child]

Trump’s family situation is far more stable today than it was 25 years ago. I can’t say that about Palin.

[Kevmo]

Her family situation is stable, it’s just not good. There are tens of thousands of men who wouldn’t mind being her husband.

"They just re-elected the King of Amnesty, Flimsey Grahamnesty plus McConnell, Sasse, Cassidy, Cornyn, Tillis."

Many of whom would NOT have been re-elected without Trump's active backing. And then they backstabbed him. That's on THEM, not HIM.

[Lurkinanloomin]

That’s on the voters.

If we keep re-electing Assistant Democrats they will keep assisting the Democrats.

[FLT-bird]

The corporate media likes to pretend Trump has some magical mystical hypnotic power over his supporters. No he doesn’t. He says what we all believe in and have believed in for many years. And - this is the critical part - he actually means it and will fight for it.

That’s it. That’s his “magic” power.

[Lurkinanloomin]

First thing is to remove the progressives from the GOP if you want to save it.

The Senators up in 2022 that must be replaced are Murkowsky, Thune, Hoeven, Blunt, Grassley, Lankford, Lee, Scott and Rubio.

[dfwgator]

Exactly MAGA is about more than Trump now, and Trump understands that.

He will run again if he has to, but I think he would rather be the Kingmaker.

[familyop]

"What those officials feared and still do is Trump’s voters."

Yes. NPR's Mary Louise Kelly (manly manhater, radical socialist) and others have been rattling on about "domestic terrorism" with and about Avril Haines, the new Director of National Intelligence. They're implying that they're investigating and pursuing conservatives because of political speech. For now, they're making plans on how to use other agencies to accomplish their final solution.

[Cuttnhorse]

This was a stupid and pointless article that made no sense.

My take as well...kept wanting to holler, "What's Your Point?"

[Cuttnhorse]

I’m surprised Marcus isn’t a regular writer for National Review, the main publication of the Never Trumpers.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Indeed.

It was the dissing of all the prior great speakers at CPAC.

[Karoo]

I’d go for your picks ABSOLUTELY. And add Candace Owens

[Beagle8U]

“BLM supporters and CHOP types make up piles of flowers and teddy bears and a picture of their dead BLM “heroes” which is also idolatry.”

They put piles of junk right in middle of the road where “Big Mike” the Jolly...Ho Ho Ho,,,Teen Giant got whacked.

That huge pile of rubble was in the road for a month!

[Reily]

Trump is just the “visible” part of what his supporters want.
Trump is like the top of the iceberg of anger & disgust that you see. The “anger\disgust iceberg” that has developed over the past 40-50 years over the corruption & mismanagement done by the “professional politician” class.

There is no “Cult of Personality” here. We leave that political concept for the left. “Cult of Personality” has clearly straitjacketed their thinking since they can only conceive of political movements in those terms.

[The Mayor]

When you get out of DC or New York, the Republican civil war so hyped up

All R's I know are so fed up and feel defeated here in NY. The chairman is a dolt, establishment POS. I've know him for years and swore if he took over the reigns I would leave. He did, I'm gone and driving people to the Conservative party which isn't much better.
