President Donald Trump will address the CPAC 2017 conference in suburban Maryland this morning.
Last year President Trump skipped the event after “conservative” elites promised to hold a walkout protest during his speech.
President Trump will address the crowd at 10 AM Eastern.
FOX Business Network host and longtime Trump supporter Lou Dobbs spoke to CPAC crowd this morning.
FOX News reported:
When President Trump takes the stage at CPAC on Friday at 10 a.m. ET, there will likely be as many optimistic conservatives inside the Maryland convention center as there are suspicious.
But no matter how you define Trump’s conservative bonafides, it appears to be the first time in decades a Republican president — whose party controls both chambers of Congress — can implement a largely conservative agenda.
“We conservatives have an opportunity that only comes around every few generations,” Vice President Pence told CPAC on Thursday. “My friends, this is our time.”…
…Trump addressed CPAC in 2011 and was booed when he said crowd-favorite Rep. Ron Paul “cannot get elected.” Paul and his son Sen. Rand Paul usually dominate the conference’s straw poll. Sen. Ted Cruz won last year’s poll and Trump came in a modest third.
