Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio plans to skip the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this year, Breitbart News reported Tuesday.

The American Conservative Union (ACU), which hosts the event, said in a statement to Breitbart News that Rubio and his campaign have made a "rookie mistake," adding, however, that the Florida senator has a conservative record and high rating from the organization.

"Today the Rubio campaign informed ACU’s chairman that their candidate is unwilling to make time to meet with activists and answer their questions at CPAC 2016," ACU said in the statement.

"Sen. Rubio cannot have it both ways: he cannot hope to be the inspirational leader of conservatives and at the same time hide at the very moments when activists who compose the heart and soul of the movement assemble and organize."

Rubio's spokesman, Alex Conant, said in an email to Breitbart News that "we have not set our March schedule yet," when asked why Rubio was skipping CPAC, which will be held from March 2 to 5 at National Harbor Maryland, near Washington, D.C.

The ACU statement noted that former President Ronald Reagan came to CPAC 13 times. This year's CPAC theme is based on Reagan's first public address after his 1980 election: "Our Time is Now."

Hmmm....little marco cannot show his hands to trump, so he doesn't go?

At CPAC, @TedCruz flatly rejects the idea of a contested convention: "If that happens we will have a manifest revolt on our hands."

So... why is he still in the race then? Seems impossible for him to beat Trump at this point.

Because he's won 4 primaries and is second in delegates?

Why is Rubio still in the race?  There is no way he wins the 8 primaries necessary to be the nominee from a brokered convention.

Of course, I'm sure the GOoPers will just change the bylaws when they meet in April so their chosen one is eligible to win.

Or do you not know the actual rules?  The only two on a path to win a brokered convention under current rules are Cruz and Trump.  Rubio won Minnesota, though!
