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

I sure hope so.

Now where’s my popcorn?

There's no obvious heir apparent to replace him as (figure)head of the movement, so it's unlikely to remain unified.

It seems to be fragmenting already. Jinglesphincter's incompetence has never been more obvious, the Iran War is not popular among them, and the economic miracle they were promised isn't happening. There are even some - not a majority, but some - who genuinely thought ICE was going to focus on violent criminals and not their neighbors. You can only pretend you're not seeing what you're actually seeing for so long.

There will always be a die-hard core, but parts of the movement will head in different directions.

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.

Don't think for a minute that they are dead.

That was REALLY funny

Edited because my hands and my brain are not on speaking terms today

Which was a slap to Schlapp (who has been accused of improper behavior by at least one young male aide).

And they're applauding the idea of him being held to account for his crimes which is a value of actual law abiding conservative people. But, the CPAC chairman is a sex abuser like Trump and thinks that the CPAC attendees are stupid lemmings
