At CPAC, the Golden Oldie Party focuses on 2020 whinging, Hillary's emails, and Iraq war-era insults

No one expects innovation or forward-thinking from Republicans, but it’s astonishing just how mired in the past they are these days. It’s no wonder Republicans could never pass their own health care bill after howling about the Affordable Care Act for 80-plus full moons. They have no ideas and no real policy prescriptions. Donald Trump’s tremendous, fantastic, way-better-than-Obamacare health care plan was always just two infrastructure weeks away from coming to fruition, but in the end he offered the American people bupkis.

Now all Trump does is talk about the 2020 election, and I’m really starting to doubt if he’s ever going to release his awesome health care plan. Since Trump’s own exercise regimen is almost entirely predicated on scooping extra crispy chicken skin off the bathroom floor before the five-second rule kicks in, I’m not expecting much. But, you know, he promised. 

So as you may have noticed, they’re having another normal one at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, Texas, this weekend, and boy are they spinning the greatest hits.
