Trump will return to spotlight with speech at conservative CPAC

Source: NY Daily News

The man from Mar-a-Lago is ready to wow the MAGA faithful again.

Former President Trump will make a splashy return to the political spotlight next Sunday with a speech at the conservative CPAC convention in Orlando.

Trump is expected to be a keynote speaker on the last day of the annual meeting that bills itself as the “largest and most influential gathering of conservatives in the world.”

The speech is likely to attract an adoring crowd from the right-wing base that remains fiercely loyal to Trump despite his role in the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol.

At the end of the day, Conservatism is all about promoting hate and division.

1. I won, by a lot! A landslide of truly landslide proportions!
2. I was robbed by the biggest stolen election in the history of stolen elections!
3. Sleepy Joe, China Joe, Sleepy China Joe.

And probably more stuff, but those are the high points.

...and 15 minutes complaining about Rosie O'Donnell or someone.

If that's really what they want to endure, have at it. They didn't have to give him the keynote on the last night, but maybe it was him or Ted Cruz.

I heard his touching eulogy to his pal Rush, which consisted of Trump saying Rush agreed with him that the election was stolen.

He has no twitter or any way to reach anyone but the rabid base. He has zero political power outside of deep red areas that would vote for right wingers whether Trump existed or not. He truly is powerless. Yawn.

Preferably just minutes before the speech. Then we could all get a good laugh watching the meltdown.

Having Trump speak is an open invitation to all the cult member crazies to fill the seats. I hope the image of thousands of nut jobs wearing and carrying Trump merch will alienate a few more sane ones that were hovering on the fence after Jan 6
