Wow! Looks like the organizers of CPAC 2024 should have picked a smaller venue than the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. They're not exactly packing them in, so perhaps they should downsize next year — if, indeed, they even decide to hold another one.
The event runs through Saturday, so we guess there's a chance that this room gets filled at some point. But the vibe is definitely one of indifference and lethargy — or maybe fear of being groped by Matt Schlapp, LOL. The low turnout is particularly interesting coming on the heels of Benedict Donald's money troubles. His campaign raised $3 million less than Nikki Haley did last month, and it has 200,000 fewer donors than it did four years ago. Add the fact that it spent more in January than it took in — on legal fees, we assume — and you're looking at a weak, maybe even flatlining 2024 for the Trumpsters.
(Nevertheless, the media seem intent on portraying Joe Biden as the "beleaguered" candidate, but that's a subject for another post. Warning to journalists: We will not be kind.)
Why is Donald doing so poorly? Do his previous donors have a problem with paying for his lawyers? Are they bored with the same old shtick he rolls out at his "shows"? Are they tired of all the losing when he promised them nothing but winning? Or — and this is the first thing that crossed our minds — are a lot of them dead from COVID? Perhaps it's all of the above. At any rate, we cats love it, and we PURR.
