Trump plans to attack ‘Bush Republicans’ in CPAC speech
NY Post ^ | March 4, 2023 | John Levine

Posted on 03/04/2023 12:43:23 PM PST by Golden Eagle

Former President Trump plans to attack Bush-era Republicans in his remarks to the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday and urge those in attendance to finish the job of transforming the GOP by backing him for the White House in 2024.

Trump is expected to deliver CPAC’s keynote address at roughly 5:30 p.m. in remarks that are expected to last roughly 90 minutes. Trump has been a staple of the annual gathering for years, delivering marquee speeches during and after his presidency.

The event, this year in National Harbor, Maryland, is now dominated by his most ardent supporters and he is expected to easily win the conference’s 2024 presidential straw poll.

“Trump has completely remade the party since he’s become president,” a Trump aide told Axios.

CPAC has been diminished this year in the wake of allegations that conference boss Matt Schlapp groped a male staffer of Herschel Walker’s Georgia Senate campaign.

Schlapp, who has denied the allegation, was later served by a lawsuit from the anonymous accuser. Big stars like former Vice President Pence, Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel have all been MIA.

So we end up in the minority? Sounds like the attitude that has been dominate since 2017. Where’s that gotten us?

What “we” are we talking about?

Conservatives have always been in the minority in the Uniparty. The only way that would change is if a change of membership occurs and the conservatives take over the GOP wing and separate from the Democrats.

Wonderful. His success in giving the democrats the house and senate in 2018 was obviously approved by him. And 2020, he’s liked it even more and to the latest 2022. He’s just so good.

Fraud denial repeated does not make fraud into non-fraud.

Sorry, your choice on the Republican side will be Trump. You might want to sit this one out.

I live in Florida and we as a state were going along with the other states insofar as vaccines, lockdowns, closings etc. Then spring came and DeSantis opened the beaches . Boy did he take a lot of grief however, it the start of tourist season . There was a risk of a lot of tourism money to be lost so I think he took a gamble and it worked. Slowly some of the restaurants that didn’t completely close or lose their business altogether, we’re able to stagger back on their feet by
offering take out and then limited openings. The rest is history. The whole world did not have anything else to go on except the “experts” that were advising the whole world on this Covid b.s. yes you are correct about hindsight. If we only had a crystal ball.

Yes, it’s scary. It can happen from a simple exposure to any virus. I agree with you.

And it proves your plain old, garden variety ignorance.
Your continued name calling is a violation of the FR rules.

It’s campaign season. That’s how it’s done. If it came down to Noem and DeSantis, they would attack each other relentlessly. Then after the convention, they’d be best buddies for life.

What I hated most was a much more secure southern border and the reduction in muslim immigration. /s

His ( Desantis ) connections to the Bush Machine will eventually be shown and will sink his campaign and his future presidential chances.

You got that right.

Ok. I get your drift here.

I think you’re with about 10% maybe a bit more of people on this forum who for whatever reason are thinking it’s time for a change, like De Santis etc.

That’s fine.

And I suppose you’re put out by Trump’s bluntness, and his so-called “attacks” on Desantis, and you’re thinking he’s crude and rude and we should have Kumbya movement looking towards 2024.

The world here and abroad is bad, very bad. It will get worse.

Talk is cheap.

So, I’m not going to waste any more time trying to convince you and others to give support to and rally around Trump again. And I’ll ignore your laughable remark about him losing the election in 2020. He lost nothing. Sinister events orchestrated did him in, and maybe he knew it was going to happen.

Nobody can rally Americans like he can. If there’s any rec I can make, is that he at least try to engage thru dialogue, and it can even be behind the scenes, with those media types that openly don’t like him. Go on their shows, or talk to them one on one, i.e. people like you.

Enjoy you’re Sunday doing what you do.
