CPAC's unmistakable message: Democrats to face Trump in 2024, whether he’s on ticket or not
By: John Solomon
Trump and Trumpism are alive and well. We will not be going away. The Dems and establishment rui utterly failed at driving us from the public square. We are the resistance and we will be defending America first, our kids, our history, founding, culture, border, our economic freedom, individual rights, religious liberty, and the working class of every race, creed, and both genders. We are a multiracial coalition of working and middle class nationalist populist conservatives and libertarians.

CPAC's unmistakable message: Democrats to face Trump in 2024, whether he’s on ticket or not
Conservatives unified by Trumpism’s clarion call for strong borders, prosperity and the rejection of woke liberalism.
If country club Republicans think they've rid themselves of Donald Trump and his policies just weeks into his post-presidency, they better think again.
The Conservative Political Action Conference — the bellwether event for America's conservatives — began and ended with an unmistakable message: In Trump we trust.
Or, at the very least, in Trump's policies.
Speaker after speaker, line after speech line, the 45th president's hold over the Republican Party was solidified this weekend.
Strong borders, personal liberty, prosperity, law and order and the rejection of liberal woke-isms in life, school, public policy and culture were the clarion call of a Republican Party unifying around the Trump doctrine as its antidote for defeating Democrats in 2022 or 2024.
"The voters are saying overwhelmingly they agree with what President Trump did in office," Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Sunday in a TV interview on the sidelines of the conference. What it means for the next two elections is that Joe Biden and congressional Democrats must run once again against the policies that delivered the White House to Trump in 2016, if not Trump himself.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) offered a glimpse of what Democrats can expect in the next two elections. "We believe in borders, because we believe in citizenship," he said. "And we believe in citizenship because we believe in America."
The former president, making his first major public appearance since leaving office in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and a second impeachment and acquittal, teased a 2024 run without committing to it.
"Who knows, I may even decide to beat them for a third time," Trump said coyly.
Trump easily won the CPAC straw poll as the attendees' top contender in 2024, though only 68% said they hoped he'd run again. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was the next closest in the poll, but with less than half of Trump's support.
Whether or not he runs, Trump made clear he doesn't plan to divide the GOP by creating a new third party as some in media speculated he might. Rather, he said he plans to help fund state election reforms to reverse some of the late rule changes effected without legislative authorization in 2020 and to recruit and elect candidates committed to Trumpism.
"The future of the Republican Party is as a party that defends the social, economic and cultural interests and values of working American families of every race, color and creed," Trump declared, as did many other speakers who preceded him.
"Our security, our prosperity and our very identity as Americans is at stake like perhaps at no other time," he added.
CPAC answered many key questions. Trump isn't going away and also won't start a third party. And his policies are engrained as the GOP alternative for the next two elections.
Also, Republicans see a path to winning back suburban women voters they lost ground with in recent years by focusing on the Democrats' perceived failures in education, starting with the inability to get schools to reopen in the face of teacher union opposition.
"Women are struggling because our kids are not back at school," McDaniel said on Sunday. "I'm not saying this as a Republican. I'm saying this is a mother with two kids in public school watching this rip apart my community as kids are suffering. So get it done. Get our kids back in school. And that's what the Republican Party stands for."
With that settled, the next big mission for the GOP at the national and state level is to reset election rules to their pre-2020 pandemic norms and to recruit a diverse slate of candidates firmly molded in the policies of Trumpism.

I liked the speech but I had some problems with certain parts.
Trump continues to break Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment :

The white supremacy wing that encouraged the greatest growth of minority candidates and voting percentage in 60 years. That allegation is just so stupid.

I agree although the Republicans he spoke ill of kind of deserved it. It’s time though to make peace within and fix opposition to ridiculous democrat proposals.
That it is. Trump reaffirmed his commitment to America first yesterday:
“My job is not to represent the world,” he said at one point. “My job is to represent the United States of America.” That is the way any American president should look at it. Unfortunately that was not the case with Obama, nor with Biden who already seems more extreme. The ideas and policies of Trump are widely popular within the GOP whether or not Trump makes another run.
Good luck with that considering the headline reads: "CPAC's unmistakable message: Democrats to face Trump in 2024, whether he’s on ticket or not"
So the first party Trump will apparently face off with will be Republicans...
It's rather telling that you didn't like the internal attacks but were apparently fine with the continued lie after lie after lie. Trump once again claiming he won with absolutely ZERO evidence proves he and anyone who continues to support him are clearly delusional. He sounded like a small weak loser who was desperately trying to cling to a fantasy, perhaps he believes if he just closes his eyes real tight and clicks his heels together three times and says "There's no way I lost, There's no way I lost, There's no way I lost..." that he'll magically become President again. The only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore loser so fucking stupid they refuse to admit they lost even when their ass has already been kicked out the door.
Our heroic former President is right on message. I can’t wait to see him doing rallies to promote America first policy goals and to oppose Biden regime proposals.
So you are ready and willing to oppose anything out of the WH just because...
I have never in my life seen anyone so in love with and devoted to a politician than you are.
Really kinda creepy man.
Trump heroic? Hahahahahaha!!!! That is too funny.
Trump has herpes? More than likely.
Cowardly loser? Definitely.
But, heroic? Not in a million years.
If those are the "top ten Trump speech moments" from CPAC, anyone who attended should demand their money back. Complete drivel. What a joke.
It was an exceptional speech! I watched it all live on Fox News Channel. It made my day and lifted my spirits. It definitely energized the party.
No, it was a typical worthless Trump rant.
Someone with nothing better to do.
If that made your day you must have been lifting some strong spirits. Brandy, gin, vodka?
Partying alone again?
The Republican party needs to purge itself of the unloyal no Trump faction that is not interested in winning. Winning elections is everything....party trumps person and personal ideology.
The Dems are going to keep beating the drum of baseless claims of systemic racism, or the lie that the Republican party is controlled by White supremacists and fascists.
Bumbling Biden's administration is already going off the rails and alienating thousands of voters who thought the idea of having the Democrats in total charge is a good thing.
... don't forget the neo-nazis and thumper cultists.
The ones that say the GOP is a multiracial working people’s party made up of every race and creed?
The Lincoln project that so many progressives here touted so much turned out so well for them!
Donnie lost, so I guess they did a pretty good job.
While ripping off their donors and harassing underage boys.
"...party trumps person and personal ideology."
“our legitimate president is ready to rumble”
Ha ha ha, How far will he be able to go from Mar a Lago with that ankle monitor on his leg ?
He will be prosecuted for corruption a la former French president Sarcozy.
There were no acts of corruption during his Presidency.
That comment is completely fraudulent. The Trump regime was the most corrupt in America's history. There was massive corruption on a daily basis.
All will be revealed in the fullness of time.
In other words you have nothing...
I don’t have blindness.
Our legitimate President is in the white house doing his job, the dumb shit loser of the 2020 Presidential election is out cheating at golf like he cheats at everything in life. He cheats at golf, cheats on his wives, cheats on his taxes, cheats on bank loan applications, cheated in school, cheated his own relatives out of inheritance, I doubt he's ever done anything honest in his life. The cartoon is quite the hilarious spoof as it shows Trump as he might have looked in the 1980's, since then he turned into the fat lying lecher we know him as today.
The fact that some can't see that the cartoon is actually a total spoof of Trump is truly hilarious.
