From Eric Dondero:

Two well-known libertarian Republicans were behind the last-minute invite to get Donald Trump to speak at C-PAC, one of whom is closely associated with this website. (See related LR article "The Donald's in says Roger Stone," Jan. 13)

The Daily Caller reports "Trump at CPAC points to White House run":

The decision to attend CPAC was pushed by Trump’s longtime political advisor Roger Stone, and indicates the billionaire real estate mogul is becoming serious about seeking the Republican nomination for president next year.

And then this:

Chris Barron, the chairman of the conservative gay group GOProud, told The Daily Caller it was his organization that invited Trump to CPAC and that, personally, he “would love to see Mr. Trump run for president.” Barron noted that CPAC has been boycotted by some social conservatives (whom he dismisses as a “handful of extremists”) because of GOProud’s involvement with the event this year, and that GOProud “wanted to do something to help support the conference, which is why we wanted Mr. Trump to come.”

Note - Stone is a longtime Republican political consultant, having served in the Reagan campaigns, and for Bob Dole for President 1996. More recently, he served as campaign advisor for Kristin Davis, Libertarian for New York Governor. Jimmy LaSlavia is President of GOProud a nationwide group representing gay conservatives. He is self-described "libertarian Republican."
