Next week, thousands will flock to Maryland for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. Hosted by the American Conservative Union, the event has always been the crown jewel of right-wing political advocacy. But this year, the speakers will include big-time Trump supporters like Gov. Matt Bevin, R-Ky., British politician Nigel Farage of Brexit fame, and even reality TV star Rick Harrison. With guests like that, the CPAC crowd seems ready to fully embrace President Trump and his agenda.

It’s not hard to see why. In the first year of his presidency, Trump signed a huge tax cut, appointed a conservative justice to the Supreme Court, and oversaw an enormous deregulatory effort that sent the economy spiraling upward. But if we really care about our principles, conservatives at CPAC should realize that President Trump’s commitment to our movement is far from consistent.
