This is Significant

Donald Trump spoke at CPAC, and he was booed when he called for ground troops in Iraq to fight ISIS:

With what? We don't know, but when he supported sending ground troops against ISIS, the crowd turned on him.
Hannity: A, to stop Iran's nuclear program and B, to defeat ISIS, cause I don't hear say degrade them, I hear you say defeat them.

Trump: Defeat. Well, with ISIS, I'd just hit them really hard and that would probably and a year ago you wouldn't have said it and nobody wouldn't have likes it, you may have to have some boots on the ground for a period of time until you're rid of the cancer.

Unfortunately, the video has been deleted by the user, but the fact that the crowd at CPAC, who have pretty much defined themselves as the wingnuts of wingnuts, have come to the conclusion that the John McCain school of foreign policy is without merit is significant.

If the war forever has lost the CPAC crowd, they have lost the nation.
