Let's get right to it! I want to recap President Trump's CPAC speech on Saturday. I want to start with the part of the speech where Donald Trump just laid into Ron DeSantis, absolutely ridiculed him, called him names, called him nicknames, attacked him mercilessly and dragged him down. Oh wait, I can't show you that part because he didn't do that. How great is that? The only Republicans he attacked by name were Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney, and he's not going to lose any votes doing that. I have to say, if you want Trump to talk about his great policies and talk about all of the things that he did well and that Biden has upended and what he's going to do coming in if elected in 2024, and you don't want him to attack fellow Republicans and use the scorched-earth process here, you're happy with this speech.
