On Thursday's edition of 'The Last Word' on MSNBC, GOP Never-Trump strategist Rick Wilson commented on the first day of CPAC which saw Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus laying out the basics of "Trumpism" and strategist Kellyanne Conway joking that they should rename the conference: TPAC.

Mac: I'll look into it more but recognizing him from TV, I'm not too concerned.

Sums so much up.  Cult of personality over principles.

CPAC hasn't been all that conservative for some years, even before the Trump presidency.  Look at the lists of speakers at past CPAC gatherings.  They perpetrate the fallacy that any registered Republican is automatically a conservative.  The two words are not interchangeable.

Boy the right really liked to blow their own trumpets during the Obama admin with smug superiority about being superior to the liberal's personality cult of obama.


Looks like they were all full of shit.

Rick Wilson is a bucket full of fail. His resume is an embarrassment.

I think Rick Wilson's attitude toward Trump is obsessive in the extreme.
