I speak for myself and not Blogmocracy.

Donald Trump spoke at CPAC and brought down the house. He said he’s Pro-Life and anti-Gun Control. He took a shot at Ron Paul, OPEC and China. He spoke the truth. I know many on this blog hate the man. I will ask you, is he lying?

If CPAC is a primary for self-confidence, Donald Trump won hands down.

The real-estate mogul with a genius for self-promotion gave the most-acclaimed — and most colorful — speech at the conservative gathering this afternoon, from the moment he took the stage to the song “Money, Money, Money.”

With no visible sense of irony, he slammed libertarian Ron Paul as a losing hopeful who can’t capture the brass ring and got booed by some for it, said our current president came ‘out of nowhere,” and quoted a business magazine’s story about what a terrific entrepreneur he himself is.

Yet he was by far the best-received speaker and the audience lapped up his act, as he read some of a prepared speech and used his hands to punctuate his words. He also hit on social issues “briefly,” as he said, saying he’s pro-life and anti-gun control. He said he’d dismantle Obama’s health care law.

Here’s the video of his speech. I will ask everyone who listens to it. Is Donald Trump lying in what he’s saying?

Update: Here’s a video with the complete speech.

Treat this as an open thread.
