Donald Trump will not be attending CPAC this year, nor will any of his higher level people.

I suspect it's a security matter more than anything else; Trump faces a real threat from Iranian assassins, as do his top people (like Vance).

CPAC doesn't have the prestige it once had either, and Trump could find it more effective to campaign elsewhere rather than there. Too many RINO Republicans run CPAC.

The article theorizes that big monied interests, especially since the Schlapps took over, have made the event over-commercialized, favoring the RINO wing.

Steve Bannon and Ted Cruz appear to be the only MAGA conservatives who will appear. Most of the rest are foreign or not potential candidates for the Presidency in '28.

It's too bad; CPAC was once a force to be reckoned with, and you had to have a good showing there to have any hope of winning the Presidency. But chasing dollars has led it to become irrelevant.

So Trump certainly has no reason to risk his life by going there, especially during a war with an enemy who likes to skulk around in bushes waiting to murder you when you aren't looking.
