The Reviews are In and Sweaty Trump is Over — A Delusional Old Man Who STILL Refuses to Say Biden is President
There are a lot of people on Twitter noting that the Republican party cannot possibly have a future if all they want to do is look back. The longer they look to Trump as their leader, the less they can look to the future. Trump cannot stop talking about his greatness in all he did and then spent the rest of his speech talking about how he won the election. He ended by talking about continuing “my struggle” which sounded eery to many people on Twitter.
But there was a strong consensus that Trump may as well have brought a shovel because he did more work to bury the party than any other speaker at CPAC – while also bragging that without him, the Republicans would have lost 10-15 Senators. We assume he didn’t count Georgia.
We believe that the tweet below set out the feeling better than any other. They do not plan on actually winning elections in the future. They plan on declaring that they won and fighting to prove that they did.
Two things not to be doubted:
1. Trump demands ownership of the GOP and will get it.
2. Trump will never accept that Joe Biden won in 2020We're in for another round of seditionist violence.

They are no longer building up and bringing new people into the movement, they are shutting people out.
It is the time for the Naming of the Enemies.
Trump lists all the Republicans who voted to impeach/convict him for inciting the Jan. 6 mob that attacked the Capitol with the intention of murdering his own vice president.
"Get rid of them all."

Any party that spends well over 40 minutes discussing “really winning” the election in a conference that is supposed to be looking forward is a party that is dying. A cult is not a political party and Trump cannot move on by winning elections. That doesn’t mean he isn’t looking to hold office again. It just looks more and more like he plans to fight his way to the presidency.
He’s still talking about the Fucking election

And then he asked for more money, go to “DonaldJTrump.com” he begged. He didn’t ask them to donate to the party, he asked them to donate to him.
Trump is basically saying: I could not have been wiped out in 2020 by that many votes.
Now, he's sending people to his website to contribute.— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) February 28, 2021
And yes, it was the opening of his 2024 campaign, if only for the money:
Trump being coy about running, but he's running

"We have to have victory."
Republicans lost the House, the White House, AND the Senate in Trump's first term. Has not happened since Herbert Hoover.
— S.V. Dáte (@svdate) February 28, 2021
Well, that was a boring start but it ended with a full-on dumpster of hot crazy that every Republican is going to have bathe in for the next election cycle.
And they're playing YMCA. Which is still a mystifying choice for the manliest president ever

Trump is gripping and twisting on that podium like a drunk Centaur wearing an electric diaper standing on a skateboard.

Trump’s attempts to delegitimize adverse court rulings — implying that the mythical election theft could be rectified only by going around a rigged legal system — are an under-appreciated element of his incitement to insurrection.
His message was that lawful methods had failed.
— Will Saletan (@saletan) February 28, 2021
The above is terrifying. Trump basically invalidates all legal means to win elections and implies it is because the Democrats fight harder. This, as Tom Nichols says, guarantees insurrections into the future.
And money!
I loved the part where he said the only way to contribute to the GQP was to contribute to him.

#BreakingNews Trump still sounds like a babbling moron.

Trump rolls out "Kampf 2.0," now with more explicit stage symbolism!! https://t.co/8V7OI4ccaw

He spent most of his presidency bragging about the 2016 election and now he will spend most of Biden’s presidency whining about the 2020 election

Dementia J. Trump Part III, tonight. His brain misfires more than a 1942 Oldsmobile barn find. https://t.co/wOLvVtq1qd

Same old Trump, just far more dangerous, weird as it seems. Closing with “my struggle” is… makes one almost hope for health issues.
And here was his low-energy ending…and as you’ll see Trump has lost it:
Trump ditched the traditional end of his rally speech and is no longer doing the "we will make America great again" bit. His CPAC address is finally over after about 90 minutes. pic.twitter.com/UVVwHZLtsL
