In conversation after conversation with attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida this week, hardcore conservatives who still worship the former president began to signal something new: They may not want him to run again in 2024.

“Absolutely not!” said one CPAC attendee from New Jersey, roaming Orlando’s Rosen Shingle Creek hotel with a $500 silver bedazzled pistol-shaped purse. The woman didn’t want to share her name for fear of being on record against Trump, even though she voted for him and still thinks he’s great.

“I just don’t think it’s gonna work for the country. It’s going to be a fiasco. The same bullshit we dealt with for years,” she said…

“I do not recommend Trump running because it will send every liberal to the polls and it will destroy everything from top to bottom,” said Peter Lee, a 52-year-old from Orlando who runs a local tea party chapter. “Apparently, half the nation voted against Trump. So if Trump runs, it sends half the nation back to the polls to vote against him. Let’s not do that.”
