CPAC or TPAC

Bless her heart, kellyanne got one right. At what used to be the CPAC Convention she correctly stated it was now the TPAC. Watching what was going on there,including Rhinoceros Proboscis and Steve Bannon holding hands and cooing at each other , it was clear that we were in Trump land. Recall that he was booed at this event in 2015 and didn't attend last year cause he was not wanted.

According to polls released by the despicable fake media, an overwhelming percentage of Republicans, including one presumes conservatives, give him a favorable rating after one month. Now, I always thought conservatives were for fiscal responsibility and smaller government that was less intrusive. If trumps proposed budget is anything remotely like the extravagant promises he has made, it will not be fiscally responsible much less conservative. I don't think what Republican conservatives had in mind for a smaller government was a totalitarian state. Last year, the other republican candidates and most of the main stream Republicans stated accurately that Trump was not even a Republican, much less a conservative. Apparently the Republicans have all drunk the Kool-Aid and had an epiphany. Trump continues his assault on news organizations that have the temerity to point out his lies and stupid remarks. That is clearly a part of his a emerging strategy. There are murmurings that his economic team have been tasked to find ways to manipulate numbers to create the results he wants to accomplish such as a 3 to 4% GDP. When those meddlesome fact checkers demonstrate this he will simply say it's fake news and they are liars. Similarly, he will bury the fiscal irresponsibility of his promises by using fake projections. Oddly enough, this puts him in the same camp as Paul Ryan with the implausible growth projections claimed for his tax cuts. It will be interesting to see if Mick Mulvany, an actual fiscal conservative, retains his integrity at CBO. He will be under a lot of pressure starting with the CBO analysis of Trump's proposed budget.
