GOP presidential primary front-runner Donald Trump will be taking his seemingly bulletproof campaign to Scottsdale, Arizona, in March for the Western Conservative Conference, where he has been confirmed as a speaker. Others expected to address the sessions during the March 18-19, 2016, meetings include former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., former NRA president Sandy Froman, and Scottie Nell Hughes of the Tea Party News Network.
Reps. Matt Salmon and Paul Gosar, both Arizona Republicans, will serve as co-chairs of the conference, and previous GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain will deliver the opening keynote address. The Western Conservative Conference is described as the "premier gathering of conservatives in the western U.S." It follows a format similar to CPAC or the Values Voter Summit, featuring plenary sessions with guest speakers and panels, breakout sessions covering specific issues, book signings, exhibits, a luncheon, and a dinner reception.
In fact, the WCC used to be called Western CPAC, according to Floyd Brown, president of the Western Center for Journalism. Brown will serve as one of several co-hosts of the conference, as he has in the past, and the WCJ will be one of many sponsoring organizations. "Traditionally we've had conservatives come from all over the country to these conferences, and they've been well-attended (usually 500 to 1,000 people), and it's a great place for conservatives to network and get to know other conservatives and to discuss the issues that are going to really impact this presidential election, and also the congressional races in 2016," Brown told WND in an interview.
Planned topics for panel discussions include the media, immigration, taxes, Second Amendment rights, free speech, threats to freedom of religion, and more.

It will be great if John McCain does not show up.
IF it’s for conservatives, why is Huck going?
he seems socially conservative, not so much fiscally, from what I’ve read about his governorship on the board.
Bulletproof.
In a slight way, he reminds me of HHH.

I am not a fan of Trump (I’m a Cruz man) but I’m beginning to wonder how entertaining it would be to watch the GOPe jump the shark to keep him out of the nomination.
I’ll admit the whole thing has been, basically, entertainment for me because I see the whole thing as trying to choose a new captain for the titanic as it takes on water.
...conference organizers have invited most of the current GOP presidential candidates to speak, including Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina. So far only Trump and Huckabee have confirmed...

GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
If memory serves, Sarah Palin lives in Arizona now. It’d be nice to see her on stage and Juan McCainez a no-show.
At least if he shows up, I hope he trashes Trump. LOL
So glad Herman Cain will be there as well. I was so gung ho for him back in 2012. The dirty, rotten media brought in some murky bimbo on him from the past and down he went. Hey maybe Trump would consider him for VP? Totally fine by me,
“IF it’s for conservatives, why is Huck going?”
Huck will be representing the Amnesty/No Borders wing.
Yes, I loved Herman Cain. A shame what they did to him. He did not have the strength of Trump to overcome the attacks. Still, a good man.
lol
Yep!
Thing is socially conservative doesn’t really have any actual consequence in government and is basically meaningless thanks to the GOP.
Any given politician can say I’m against abortion and for traditional marriage all day long, but the practical result of that is going to be nothing. The GOP isn’t going to do anything with any sort of socially conservative issue ever.
The conservative base has had a litmus test for its politicians for decades, and the result of that litmus test is that America is the abortion capitol of the world and now the gay marriage capitol of the world, so clearly it doesn’t matter at all what anyone says their position on matters such as these is. It’s just a distraction to make people feel good about voting for someone.
So the only thing that actually matters about Huckabee is that he is otherwise liberal.
he seems socially conservative, not so much fiscallyThat could describe Cruz. He only has talk, Other than "socially/religious" conservative, he has NO record.
he has guts. and my vote :)
what’s trump’s voting record in office? :)
trump’s my no. 2, but just sayin’
