Is CPAC A Joke?

I noticed that Donald Trump was a speaker at CPAC. Noticing that he was a speaker at CPAC made me wonder if CPAC should be considered a joke. Donald Trump has been on every side of every issue depending on what person was in the White House. It seems that if CPAC was a serious group they would not have invited Donald Trump to speak at their event. So, there may be other reasons why CPAC is a joke, but considering they invited Donald Trump to speak at their event is CPAC a joke?

It's just another journey in the same clown car that drove the candidates to the GOP primary.

These are the things they really want to do. These are the things their idiotic followers believe.

No. A threat.

If you can't see that cpac rallies 'round some dangerous ideas; then you're part of the problem.

As you ridicule those who threaten us; they continue to influence those less informed.

limbaugh has gotten away with over 30 years of influence.

How's that workin' out for ya?
