Fox News chose not to have any reporters on site, from what I read. Without coverage, many guests chose not to attend, and with fewer guests, there was smaller interest from crowds.

Yep. I placed him on ignore long ago for his boasting of seeing a cook with no pants on place customers food up his tookus and then serving it this member also boasted of not alerting anyone to this atrocity so that makes him an accomplice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually went to CPAC when I was a freshman in college. CPAC is more so for young conservative youth engagement. The fact attendance was low could suggest low conservative youth enthusiasm for the upcoming election. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all rational people know faux isnt real news, since BOM hasnt gotten and endorsement and has very little suppprt and is pretty much a bumblingly mess of legal issues and mud brain faux isnt going to put spotlight on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well except the stock market growth, low unemployment, high wage growth for low income households, the progression towards peace in Korea (now undone), many Middle Eastern states acknowledging Israel, and a stable Europe, yep. I`ve not seen Biden get one thing right yet. Does he even know who he is with his cognitive decline? He needs a warm bowl of soup in a retirement home not access to the big red button.

I actually went to CPAC when I was a freshman in college. CPAC is more so for young conservative youth engagement. The fact attendance was low could suggest low conservative youth enthusiasm for the upcoming election. I was reading an article that outlined several reasons for the low attendance, including the lack of a Fox News presence. Seems like there are a number of different reasons why numbers are low. Quote CPAC 2023: Conservative conference suffers from low attendance and lack of sponsors OXON HILL, Maryland — The Conservative Political Action Conference's return to the nation's capital has proved to be less than triumphant, with the mainstay political conference suffering from lower attendance and fewer high-profile sponsors. The conference, once a mandatory stop for aspiring Republican presidential candidates, saw several notable Republicans such as former Vice President Mike Pence, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), and numerous other governors skip the high-profile convention. Meanwhile, longtime attendees noted a sea-change in the number of attendees and sponsors. Vickie Froehlich, an attendee who said she had attended the conference multiple times, noted the lower attendance and said the absence of Fox News in the media hub and the exhibit hall likely contributed to the event's inability to draw presidential aspirants. "It's been a huge difference that Fox is not here," Froehlich said. "Fox helped get the candidates out here to be interviewed, so it's noticeable to me that they're not here." Several other attendees the Washington Examiner spoke to similarly noted the smaller crowd.

+Link of Hyrule Posted March 8, 2023 #411 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) The odds with the bookies have shifted after weeks of staying stable. Trump is now better than even money ($1.83), down from $2.10, while Ron DeSantis has also improved from $2.80 to $2.70. Everyone else in the top 10 (screenshot below) is floating further away. Ron DeSantis hasn't announced his run yet, and when/if he does it will certainly improve his odds. Whether it will be enough is another matter, it's clear Donald Trump has a lot of support within the Republican voting base. Part of me would like to see that, even though I think Ron DeSantis would be a better option and therefore hope he is the candidate.

the13bats Posted March 8, 2023 Author #412 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Of course its early i might change my mind but i have a feeling that Haley will get GOP endorsement and BOM will go into such a deep unhinged meltdown that if he gets out of treatment he will still be reduced to a ranting bellowing incoherent wreck, people will look at him, shake their heads and walk away in disbelief.

Gromdor Posted March 10, 2023 #413 Share Posted March 10, 2023 We're getting dueling rallies here this weekend: Ron DeSantis faces his first major Iowa test in against Trump (nbcnews.com) I will be too busy to attend either of the two candidates rallies.

But that is total bullS****t. All the primaries in every state should be on the same day! And when the general election happens the news media needs to keep their mouths shut about the election completely until the west coast votes have been counted. I have known stupid people who either decide not to vote or vote differently than they planned in the west because the east coast news casters are calling it before it is over. I looked it up, Iowa is still first but Nevada is before New Hampshire in 2024. Edited March 10, 2023 by Desertrat56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like it when the future president makes me a pork chop at the Iowa State Fair. People already started freaking out when the Democrats said they were ditching their primaries here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
