I like CPAC, I really do. But some of the blind support it fosters is downright scary.

Take Trump for example. The man is one of the worst public speakers I've ever heard. I couldn't even stand to sit a listen to his entire speech. Yet throw in a line about guns here and one about Israel there, and he's got the crowd eating out of his hands.

I've got some clips to run through the highlights of his speech. They were few and far between, but I'll do my best.

This is the kind of day I find the news a tad unmotivating. It's tough to get excited about commenting on a bad speech. But I'll give it my best shot.

In other news, Rick Gates will plead guilty to a couple of different charges in exchange for information about fellow conspirator Paul Manifort. Some in the media would have you believe this is all related to Trump and the Russia investigation into his dealings with them but it's not. I'll explain today.
