No kidding, this was big news on Twitter and media outlets.
CPAC, the acronym for 'Conservative Political Action Conference' is
the annual conference of the American Conservative Union whose
purpose is to "educate voters, office-holders and opinion leaders as
to why conservative principles work better to solve problems".
CPAC's annual conference objective is to "combine ideas with action
to leverage the strength of thousands of grass-roots activists to
break through the resistance of Washington’s powerful elites."

Most Americans never even heard of CPAC, yet this group believes
its work is essential to promote conservative principles.

In solid conservative circles CPAC is a big deal and a place for politicians
to go to display their conservative credentials with their eyes on the
next election.

Yet, these very same politicians seem to forget what they had said at
CPAC as soon as they return to their Washington office. Then its
business as usual, abandoning the intent of the conference to
"break through resistance of Washington’s powerful
elites", and become complicit with everything wrong!

And, no matter how laudable CPAC's mission is, the success of this
conference is minimal, "more sizzle than steak" , when put in contrast
with how the national capital operates.

The faceless and nameless "establishment" governs us, while CPAC's
influence is often nonexistent. The corrosive atmosphere Washington
operates in destroys any effort to bring principled governance to the
American people.

Consider members of this establishment; donors, lobbyists, influence
peddlers. Are there fewer of them because of the efforts of CPAC? Have
out of control regulators been reigned in? Have any federal agencies
been either reduced or eliminated?

None of this has occurred because CPAC does not have the political
muscle to change Washington. It is merely a fly which must periodically
be offered a cube of sugar or shooed away when it becomes annoying.

Nothing offered by CPAC comes to fruition. The status quo remains
alive and well. This is not an indictment, merely an observation of how
most politicians use CPAC to promote themselves, not commit to
govern using conservative principles.

While the media make Donal Trump cancelling his appearance a story,
its inconsequential! Whether he appears or not won't make a bit of
difference, governance tomorrow will be as it is today.
