Angle sits behind the black rope in the Conservative Commandos booth. With one hand, she clutches tightly a microphone that reads "WNJC 1360". With the other, she fiddles with a gold chain around her neck. She doesn't say much, and doesn't look that interested.
But Angle says she likes her job on the radio. She does it "just to kind of keep in the game, you know? You need to be familiar with the press, especially when you run for office or you have a public persona. It's good to stay in contact with the press."
Throughout the course of several conversations, Angle expresses disdain for the press but acknowledges the importance of being someone the press cares about.
Christie tried to portray his fiery persona as just what Washington needs. When asked about his temper and specifically a past comment that a constituent should sit down and shut up, Christie answered, "Sometimes people need to be told to sit down and shut up," to cheers and applause. "There should be more of that stuff in Washington, DC," he added. "Someone should say it's time to shut up."
His response: Essentially, Cruz argued that he is the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan, and that those foolish doubters would have impeded Reagan's rise. "It was 40 years ago at CPAC that President Reagan said the path to victory is not pale pastels but bold colors," he said, as some in the crowd shouted those last two words along with him. "I am convinced 2016 is going to be an election very much like 1980," he said.
Translation? Don't worry about electability, because the glorious GOP landslide is imminent. "It's worth remembering, when Reagan ran, Washington despised Reagan," he added. The subtext--that Cruz himself is similarly despised--was obvious.
Fiorina started Unlock Your Potential PAC in 2014 to help the GOP better appeal to women voters. The group spent $512,394 in Senate races last cycle. She'll no doubt be discussing this effort on a CPAC panel called "Lies Told to You by Liberals" and "Countering the 'War on Women' Lie."
