Did you watch the CPAC Trump speech? It was broadcast on the Fox News cable channel. Originally advertised to start at 3:40 P.M. eastern time, he appeared one hour and twenty minute later. That was obviously planned to raise CPAC members excitement. If nothing else, Donald Trump is an outstanding motivator of drama and excitement. His Apprentice television show proved that.

It was no surprise that he attacked President Joe Biden and condemned his Republican opponents. And as expected he falsely declared the system was “rigged” against him. Claiming that millions of ballots were created by the Democrats. He condemned the courts for their “lack of courage to do the right thing.” All the “illegal ballots” were those cast against him but just in the states he lost.

Trump’s claim to wanting to uphold the constitution as originally written was his funniest line as the constitution permits each state to set their rules for elections. There is no national set of laws.

Happily cooler heads prevailed on January 6.
