Trump recalls when he started running for president and people doubted his conservatism. "I think now we've proved that I'm a conservative." CPAC crowd cheers.— Sahil Kapur (@sahilkapur) February 23, 2018
Save this tape for the inevitable moment a few years from now when conservatives insist he had nothing to do with them. https://t.co/BjjpA0eHtq— Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) February 23, 2018
On display at CPAC was the utter hypocrisy, dishonesty and tribalism of "conservative" Trumpists, whose mantra during their Tea Party incarnation was "deficits deficits." who deplored Obama's Executive Orders as "unconstitutional," who cloaked themselves in political evangelicalism, who honored the service of veterans like John McCain, who were historically hostile to Moscow, who demanded "free trade," who went after any and all Dems for their moral failings, etc. etc. See you in a few years (or less) when you turn on Cadet Bone Spurs.
