    They would have stormed the White House by now waving cult 45 flags most likely.

    Do Democrats even have any similar annual conference? I think they just pick the leaders they want and cheat voters out of their choices if they like someone better than who the DNC already decided on.

    Is there an annual "showcase" of Democrats where established leaders and up and coming stars meet to brainstorm and speak? Maybe I missed it.

    It started in the 60's with LBJ. Conservatives learned to laugh off such nonsense a few decades ago when we moved beyond racism, but the Democrats got stuck there as one of their only "talking points".

    It’s their only way to compete.

    They cant win on policy. So they attack those who disagree with nonsense accusations.

    Oh come on. Have a look at the facts yourself. Observe how the National debt of the USA went ballistic between 2016 and 2020. Undeniable.

    I suspect that locals will know more about this, but Dems do have a national convention. Did you realise that this CPAC was a select group of invitees? For example, Nikki Haley was not invited. Hardly 'democratic' and open.

    Wrong, it rose far slower during Trumps first 3 years than Obamas. Then a world wide pandemic occurred.

    Trump spent less than Obama during his first 3 years and saw better results than obama.

    Just the facts.

    Yup.

    Pence wasn't there either.

    CPAC is a GOP Fringe Group.

    CPAC is not the GOP convention. In fact, CPAC is not necessarily "Republican". Not all Conservatives are Republicans. ;)

    Yes, speaking slots are by invitation. Haley, McConnell, and Pence were invited. All declined the invitation.

    You mean in 2020....during the virus released by China, when blue state governors shut down jobs and employment much, much, longer than "15 days to stop the spread" even with Trump trying to encourage them to open back economies and schools.

    Well, at least Trump did get Mnuchin to give people some relief fairly quickly.

    Biden promised "Day 1", $2000 Covid checks as a bribe to elect two Georgia Senators and give him the Senate in addition to the House. He lied. He's got a long history of that.

    That has nothing to do with CPAC. CPAC is independent and separate from the official GOP corporation.

    I just knew before even opening this thread that the first post would be doubting of the denial. And I was right.

    Btw...where is this "several dozen of similar incidents" that you speak of? I know of one. The one ad that had a sheriff's star which the left claimed was a slight against Jews used by Nazi's to mark Jewish people. But it was just a sheriff's badge.

    Neither did Obama in the 2012 election. What's your point?

    Thanks for the clarification. It looks like you're correct. Hayley was invited, but declined.

    However, according to Bloomberg (one of the few news agencies I trust) Mcconnell was not invited...

    Are you aware Obama inherited an economy that was in a recession and that handed off a great economy to Trump?

    He handed off a decent economy that could go no where but UP when it got it. Nothing he did made that happen, it had no where else to go. He simply spent far more than Trump, while accomplishing far less. Trump found that magic wand.

    An economy that is in a recession is not a decent economy. No where to go but up? Are you serious? I remember republicans proclaiming Obama would bring us into the next Great Depression. How's that trade deficit looking right now? Trump has certainly improved the economy of foreign countries.

    It probably was an accident. I’ve never heard of that symbol before. I can’t imagine it was widely known as being associated with Nazism.

    I had never heard of it before either. However, someone did, and that stage was put together that way....deliberately.
