Trump Drops out of CPAC At the Last Minute

Very disappointed @realDonaldTrump has decided at the last minute to drop out of #CPAC -- his choice sends a clear message to conservatives.

Jeeze.

More: Explanation?

"If I were him, I don’t know why I’d want to be here," says Mark Shepard. "The conservatives and Republicans are all ganging up on me, so why would I come into the lion’s den? This is not the crowd I need to get elected. I need the guys who are voting for me on Drudge."
Most of CPAC is bitterly opposed to Trump’s candidacy -- as of Thursday, there was at least one mass walkout planned during his now-canceled speech, and rumors swirled of additional protests. "I think if Donald had showed up he would have been booed out of the hall, so I could understand him not putting up with that," says David Lamden, one of the few CPAC attendees who admits he’d be fine with Trump as the nominee.
