Why Trump Can Skip CPAC
**Romney was interviewed today on CNN, he said it was different when Trump
supported him in 2012 while being an Obama birther racist pig. The GOP is afraid
he would win the WH and change enough of their trade policies and harm their
investment class..the rest is pure bullshit.
Missing the conservative conference would be a disaster for any other candidate but won’t alter his support.

The attendees of 2016’s Conservative Political Action Conference are not particularly surprised that Donald Trump has chosen to drop out of his scheduled speaking slot on Saturday amid rumors that protesting conference goers might walk out of his speech.
“Interestingly enough, and this is just a coincidence, my son said last night, ‘[Trump]’ll skip,’ ” Steve Stechschulte, director of the Ohio chapter of the Convention of States, told me at CPAC on Friday shortly after it was announced that Trump was skipping. “He predicted it. Because of the walkout thing.”
The Trump campaign announced midday Friday that it would be adding an event in Wichita, Kansas, prior to that state’s Saturday caucus before departing for Orlando, Florida. “Because of this,” Trump’s campaign said, “he will not be able to speak at CPAC as he has done for many consecutive years.”
There had indeed been chatter of a conservative walkout during Trump’s speech on Saturday. William Temple, a fixture at conservative conferences who dresses in Revolutionary War costumes and, as he told my colleague Michelle Goldberg on Thursday, considers Trump a “Mussolini-like figure,” was going to lead the charge. Temple did the same during Jeb Bush’s speech at CPAC 2015. The Bush walkout was not especially noticeable, though, and this one might not have been any splashier. One can’t imagine that paying customers, many of whom traveled great distances, would have wanted to skip out on a typically entertaining Trump show en masse, no matter how nauseating the prospect of him as their standard-bearer would have been.
