MATT SCHLAPP (AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION CHAIRMAN) The message today is we're going back on this question of, some people say, "Well, is CPAC all just about President Trump and MAGA?" And we're taking a step back and asking what actually makes America great? And what we believe is that going back to foundational principles of the Constitution, which includes securing borders, it includes embracing the idea that America is a nation and there's nothing wrong with nationalism, and it embraces the idea of that giving the individual American people freedoms to live the lives they want to live. A lot of people in the media try to say that the conservative movement is mean, and intolerant, and unsympathetic. And when you walk these halls and listen to these speakers, you believe, actually, our vision is to allow Americans to live the life they want to live, to chart their own course.

and they know it. Now, the frump dumpster fire is drowning them in regret and fear. This will be a cornered animal, and it will swing at anything it can find before running away to it's mommie's basement....
Together with the fact that this "administration" is a house of cards, and the gop will eventually save themselves, and it's gonna look like a 3rd-rate circus packing up and training away from the field of toxic waste debris.
Today, they're still behaving as if they're legitimate. When they no longer do, you'l know you're in the middle of the end....
