CPAC Conferences
Re: CPAC Conference 2021
Looking at some of the highlight coverage of CPAC this year it's going to be interesting to see how much cognitive dissonance the two prime targets of the GOP base are able to muster. I've no doubt that the "patriots" will have no problem fully embracing bald faced fascism just like their leaders are now, both since most fake patriots don't usually know what words mean and since most have just been using "patriotism" as thin veil to hide their racism and xenophobia behind. The more gullible religious people crowd will be in more turbulent waters when confronted with the golden idol of trump that's almost a comical parallel to the golden calf from the old testemant which blatantly represented a chosen people departing from and blaspheming the will of god. While I know many or even most here aren't very religious it's a good bit of imagery to hold onto for use in debate and attempts at deprogramming.

Re: CPAC Conference 2021
Shouldn't the title of this thread be "TPAC Conference 2021"?
After all, it is not about or for conservatives. It is by, for and about Trump.

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/28/us/p ... -race.htmlTrump Wins CPAC Straw Poll, But Only 68 Percent Want Him to Run Again
The Conservative Political Action Conference, made up largely of far-right Trump supporters, held two 2024 presidential polls. Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida won a straw poll that did not include Mr. Trump.
By Elaina Plott and Shane Goldmacher Feb. 28, 2021 Updated 3:50 p.m. ET
ORLANDO, Fla. — Nearly four months after he lost the 2020 election, Donald J. Trump was able to celebrate being a winner again on Sunday, after he captured the 2024 presidential straw poll of the Conservative Political Action Conference, while Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida finished first in a second 2024 straw poll covering a field of potential candidates that did not include Mr. Trump.
But in a surprise bit of downbeat news for Mr. Trump, only 68 percent of those at the conference said they wanted the former president to run again in 2024, even as 95 percent said they wanted the Republican Party to advance Mr. Trump’s policies and agenda.
The straw polls, conducted by secret ballot, reflected the views of current and former elected officials, activists, writers and others who attended the three-day conference — a group that, generally speaking, represents the far-right wing of the Republican Party and now includes a disproportionate number of Mr. Trump’s most passionate supporters.
***
Mr. Trump carried 55 percent of the vote in the straw poll he was included in. Mr. DeSantis was the only Republican to reach double digits, with 21 percent support, in the straw poll that included Mr. Trump. The results were presented by Jim McLaughlin, a pollster for Mr. Trump who conducted the survey for CPAC.
90+ minutes???!!!
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald ... r-n1259093Trump CPAC speech to declare his political journey 'far from over'
In prepared remarks, the former president stops short of announcing his 2024 intentions.
Feb. 28, 2021, 3:48 PM UTC By Ali Vitali
ORLANDO — In a speech here Sunday to close out the Conservative Political Action Conference, former President Donald Trump will “declare that the incredible journey we began together four years ago is far from over,” coming right up to the line of announcing his 2024 intentions and laying out his vision for the future of “our” Republican party, according to excerpts obtained by NBC News ahead of Trump’s appearance.
“I stand before you today to declare that the incredible journey we began together four years ago is far from over,” the former president is expected to say in his first speech since leaving the White House last month. “We are gathered this afternoon to talk about the future — the future of our movement, the future of our party, and the future of our beloved country.”
The remarks — at least, as scripted — make clear that Trump doesn’t plan to start a new party or leave the GOP, but it does put fellow Republicans who have crossed him on notice.
“The Republican Party is united,” the excerpts read. “The only division is between a handful of Washington DC establishment political hacks, and everybody else all over the country.”
Among those lawmakers likely to get a name-check from Trump is Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who voted to impeach him and has been vocal that the party should move away from his leadership going forward.
But President Joe Biden is also in the former president’s rhetorical crosshairs, with Trump criticizing his successor on immigration, China and school reopenings.
Trump's remarks are expected to last more than ninety minutes. The former president has a well-documented propensity for veering off script— especially in front of friendly audiences like the one he’ll encounter at CPAC. The event’s multi-day program was teeming with Trump allies and sounded, at times, like a Trump-themed airing of grievances, from false claims of an un-secure 2020 election to decrying political correctness and “cancel culture.

They’re rolling this extended audio montage in advance of Trump. When MikePillow came on, a big cheer came up.

Re: CPAC Conference 2021
He only got 55%? That's bigly sad. Who else was in the running?
Re: CPAC Conference 2021
I thought my sojourn to pick up groceries would get me last some of the speech. Get home and he's not even there yet.

The Former President has now mentioned Russia six times in his speech. He signals that they should raise oil prices to hurt our economy and the Biden Administration. He cannot stop talking about or signaling to them.
Trump wants to hurt the nation's economy in order to make the Biden administration look bad. And there are people who think he loves America?

The former president is lying a lot.
Not worth rapid-tweeting Trump's usual litany of lies, but he continues to lie at great length about the election, and it remains odious.
