I think Ron Filipkowski is right about CPAC and it couldn't happen to a nicer cult

"CPAC is dead. Totally irrelevant. Yesterday's news. Bye."

Nobody is there. Trump and Jaydee didn't attend. The crowd is so rudderless and brain dead that they applaud the idea of trump's impeachment.

Hard to believe that is was just last year when Elon was there with his chainsaw. What a difference a year makes.

CPAC, Heritage Foundation and Federalist society have been calling the shots for at least 30 years, are we witnessing a changing of the guard?

“Look, this CPAC convention is increasingly the Star Wars bar scene of the conservative movement. I mean all that’s missing at that convention is a couple of Wookiees" - Schmidt on MSNBC

I always changed the channel when CNN or MSNOW insisted on covering it. Just like with trump's voice, it hurt my ears and my brain.
