trumpie can't be very happy with that 55% CPAC straw poll "victory'

I heard attendance was down this year.
Right now Schlap is stalling - doesn't sound like the old cod is there yet.
Doesn't look like the networks are going to carry it.

5 pm eastern time is now a possibility for a start time.
I am going to let others fill me in rather than subject myself to his crap.

choice is? Sounds like some "Trump maintenance" was in order before they could get him to go on stage.

I think he is much more of a mess than anyone is letting us know. He's not in good shape and i doubt very much he will last until 2024.

It amazes me that so many people worship him when he is such a loser.

I can’t ever recall live coverage of Obama speaking except for late in the election season when he campaigned with Biden.

I'm sure he was shocked and disappointed by the straw poll results.

Let them take the rap for being stupid enough to believe he was going to storm the Capitol with them. Then denounced them.

Maybe that doesn't go down so well, even with CPAC.

DeSantis doesn't stand a chance.

For one thing, he's boring as hell. No charisma, nothing.

2024 belongs to Trump OR whoever he supports... I'm thinking he runs hard into 2023 and then announces he will NOT run and gets behind Kristi Noem.

Trump's a big fan of her assets.

They generally just pick the "flavor of the moment." In 2009, Sarah Palin won it. In 2013, it was Jeb Bush. You see where this is headed.

I'll bet that looks pretty good right now, after his speech. For which he was an hour late. But you're all very special to Donald.

Respect you in the morning? Honey, I don't respect you now.
