The group was also planning a third party run if Trump wins. The meeting was organized by RedState founder Erick Erickson who has vowed to never vote for Trump – even if it means a Hillary Clinton presidency. dump trump crowd The anti-Trump group released a statement this afternoon. Here is the statement agreed to by the conservatives who met this morning to stop Trump: https://t.co/klsTcIiPOf — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) March 17, 2016 Erick Erickson’s website released this statement today to stop Trump. The group called “for a unity ticket that unites the Republican Party.” …Except, of course, for the seven million Trump voters. They can go to hell. The cowards did not have enough courage to release the attendees at the meeting. This morning I participated in a meeting of grassroots conservative activists from around the country who are committed to opposing Donald Trump. We have agreed to release the statement below: We are a group of grassroots conservative activists from all over the country and from various backgrounds, including supporters of many of the other campaigns. We are committed to ensuring a real conservative candidate is elected. We believe that neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump, a Hillary Clinton donor, is that person. We believe that the issue of Donald Trump is greater than an issue of party. It is an issue of morals and character that all Americans, not just those of us in the conservative movement, must confront. We call for a unity ticket that unites the Republican Party. If that unity ticket is unable to get 1,237 delegates prior to the convention, we recognize that it took Abraham Lincoln three ballots at the Republican convention in 1860 to become the party’s nominee and if it is good enough for Lincoln, that process should be good enough for all the candidates without threats of riots. We encourage all former Republican candidates not currently supporting Trump to unite against him and encourage all candidates to hold their delegates on the first ballot. Lastly, we intend to keep our options open as to other avenues to oppose Donald Trump. Our multiple decades of work in the conservative movement for free markets, limited government, national defense, religious liberty, life, and marriage are about ideas, not necessarily parties.

There are millions of us who will vote for Trump that won't vote for Cruz. That doesn't mean that Trump would be more effective than Cruz in beating Hillary, saving the Supreme Court, getting jobs back in America, and getting the economy on track. FYI there are millions who would vote for Cruz who will not vote for Trump. And Cruz has a much better chance of unifying what remains of the REP Party after the convention than has Trump. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2016-03-17   21:00:25 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #15.

To: rlk (#16) Yes, There are a lot of legitimate issues, and where Trump is apostate from the traditional Republican view is precisely where the conservative Republicans have gone wrong. Trump is more popular than conservatives, and will get more votes, precisely because he corrects the conservative errors in emphasis. They can't do it for themselves because they are too deeply dug into spider holes. Foreign policy with Russia and Israel are two great examples. So is trade.

This is where you fly off the handle. You've created binary logic, where anybody who doesn't see the world your way is, therefore, an ally of your worst enemy. It's a crock. You're in the spider hole. No matter what, YOUR guy is going to lose. We will have no Bush, or Kasich, or Chamber of Commerce-approved Republican in the White House next term. That's not on the cards. You will have Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Now, from your perspective, Hillary is better. She's a free trader, bought and paid for by big corporate interests. She's a militarist, eager to fight the Russians everywhere. She is, in many ways, Jeb Bush with a "D" next to her name. And after all, in her youth she was a Republican. Now, I know that you despise black people and Hispanics, and that this is where the Democrats offend you most: they gain political power by specifically appealing to blacks and Hispanics, whom you would like to see silenced and driven out of the country, but other than that, there's not a tinker's dam worth of difference between Hillary Clinton and your Bush wing of the GOP. So, if the GOP puts up Trump, why don't YOU go and vote for Hillary. She is in just about every way aligned with you, except that she wants black and Hispanic votes but your racism will not permit you to do that. Trump is aiming at very different policies: a renunciation of cold war with Russia, a renunciation of Israel First, a renunciation of bad trade deals, a renunciation of open borders and cheap illegal labor. You hate Trump because his key differences in policy are aimed right at the very CORE of your beliefs. You should be voting for Hillary.

I see a number of the big donors like Adelson are on or near to jumping on the Trump bandwagon. Similarly, when Romney threw down the establishment gauntlet to stop Trump (and keep governors and senators from endorsing Trump), that particular dam seems to be bursting. A good example is Gov. Rick Scott of FL who was all set to endorse Trump but who got intimidated by the GOPE (via Mitt's speech). Now Rick Scott is pretty much endorsing Trump so he's not too worried about the GOPe now.

To: calcon (#1) (Edited) They hear a resounding "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK YOU" from the trump people. That'll last right up until they [the Trump people] figure how they've been duped into climbing between the sheets of the (D-)rumpf family bidness presently occupied by folks such as the slave laborers owned by (D-)rumpf's Communist Chinese fellow Oligarchs. That would be the strategic Crisis phase, described by KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov, in the process that culminates revolution. Bezemenov's insight is consistent with Carroll Quigley's observation of the progress of the cycle as well - where the vacuum created by the failure of a popular fascist authoritarian is filled by Communist revolution.... And just in case folks need a reminder how that turns out, some good Russians kindly tried to document it for us: So eventually, the popular "F.... YOU" would end up as "FACE THE DOORS!" That's Populism for ya. But, fortunately there are still a few folks intent on Reforming the American REPUBLIC. You're welcome.

Bush sucked but OMG Obama has been a complete nightmare thanks to congress not even trying to slow him down. Yes, next election is the point I can either be forced into just eating a shit sandwich or being forced into eating a truck load of shit sandwiches. Just never forget next presidents will get to place at least 3 supreme court justices which will turn the courts into Stalins rubber stamp or give the people a chance to fight in court. So 3 right of center justices and 6 will be hard core communist. At this point you can kiss the court system, constitution and the libertarian movement good bye. I know the people will never rise up and revolt again to kick this socialist/communist government to the curb. So basically its slow death on the march to communism.

Trump has stated they should be banned nationwide,do you think Bubbette! will do any different or any worse? And Trump will claim to have a mandate if he is elected, After that it will be handguns. Probably within a year,and certainly before the next election,which I am predicting will be the last one where common citizens still have the right to vote. And the whole time people will still be shouting "Vote for the lesser of two evils!" because they just can't bring themselves to believe the scary truth they know in their hearts. It's not that they are cowards as much as it is there are some things that are just too awful to contemplate,but when you have spent decade after decade contributing to campaigns and working for campaigns in the hope that real and meaningful changes will be made "this time" to bring America back on a Constitutional footing and EVERY freaking time Lucy snatches the damn football away just as you go to kick it,what are the other options?

To: A K A Stone (#37) You're all over the map. You said the other day you liked Cruz and he should be VP. The fact that I, personally, like Cruz does not mean that a country that is mostly not conservative Republican will vote for a guy whose life is funded by Goldman Sachs, and whose version of conservative Republicanism is the strictest, truest blue. The Trump voters have not signed onto the conservative Republican movement. They believe in Trump's controlled border, regulated trade message. Huge numbers of people screwed by open borders and bad trade agreements are voting for the only candidate in either party who says to build a real wall, now, and deport illegals, and who is not a free-trader. Cruz is a free-trader, completely opposed to Trump on trade. Cruz opposes Trump on halting Muslim immigration. And Cruz is an Israel firster. Trump's view is that the US should be an even-handed honest broker of a peace agreement between Israel and a Palestinian State. None of that is Cruz. Trump's policy offerings are unique, which is why he is running away with the election. Romney's 47% want that. I like Cruz because he stands for his principles in a way that nobody else in politics does. I like him because Republicans hate him, and I hate Republicans. But I don't like a lot of Cruz's policies. I see Cruz on the ticket as the opportunity for the hard-core conservatives to reconcile in their own minds to vote for Trump, same as many liberal Republicans reconciled themselves to voting for Reagan because HW Bush was on the ticket. NEITHER party represents me. Trump represents me. He is a nationalist. So am I. He does not believe that the US should favor Israel, but should even handedly impose a solution that gets us out of the business of perpetually policing the Middle East. Just like me. Trump thinks we should be friends with Russia, and step away from engaging in a new Cold War. So do I. Trump thinks that everybody should have health insurance, and that those who can't afford it should have it provided through some sort of government program or subsidy. So do I. Trump is opposed to free trade, and thinks that our trade policy should favor Americans, and in particular should favor full EMPLOYMENT in the US. So do I. Trump does not think that companies have the RIGHT to have access to the American market. The American market belongs to the American voters, not to whomever wants to trade here. Trump thinks that if there is a US company, and then another US company that moves outside of the US to not have to pay its taxes here, that the company that moves out should not be able to simply sell its good back into the American market that it abandoned for cheap labor and taxes. That that company's goods should be hit at the border with taxes that claw back whatever advantages they gained by screwing over America to benefit somewhere else. I agree. Trump doesn't think that we should permit imbalanced trade with China and elsewhere any longer. It leaves millions and millions of Americans unemployed and with declining standards of living while empowering China, and adversary. I agree with Trump. Free traders like Cruz and the whole Republican (and the whole Democrat) Establishment scream that this is stupid and invoke Smoot-Hawley. It's not Smoot-Hawley, it's not stupid, but it is a showdown between two fundamentally incompatible economic beliefs. We've tried the Republican/Democrat way for 30 years. It has failed the bottom half of America. We're going to revoke it now and go the other way. That's what Trump offers. I agree. Cruz is violently opposed to even-handedness on Israel. He wants to expand the Cold War with Russia. He believes in free trade. And he does not agree that we should be suspending Muslim immigration, another unique and allegedly "bigoted" Trump postion. Cruz is fundamentally wrong on all of these things and would make a terrible President BECAUSE he is wrong on all of these things. But ALL the Republicans, except Trump, are wrong on all of these things, and Cruz is the most honest of them, and Cruz is better on immigration than the rest of the Republicans. And the party is divided. Cruz may be able to bring in conservsative voters who won't otherwise vote for Trump. They hate Trump, but they like Cruz. Somebody has to be thrown a bone to try to reunite the party. The question is, do you throw the hard right a bone, with Cruz, or do you throw the Establishment a bone, with Kasich. There is merit to both. Standing alone, though, Cruz is not an acceptable Presidential candidate for me. Neither is Kasich or any other Republican. I hate Republicans. I like Trump BECAUSE his policies are NOT traditional Republican fare. HE, ALONE, is focused on the RIGHT answers to a host of issues. That's why he's so popular. As nominee, he has to defeat Hillary, and that means trying to gain the support of one or the other wing of the party that he alienates. Cruz is one choice - I like Cruz. Kasich is the other. I like him. I like them as men, as people, as politicians. I can't accept either of their POLICIES, because they're both wrong about just about everything. But as second banana to Trump, they are acceptable, mainly because I think that is likely to cause their voters to vote for Trump. I see Trump as engineering a hostile takeover of the GOP in the interest of the things that I believe in, and in the interest of the 47%. To win the general election, Trump needs either the hard right Republicans to come over to him, or the Establishment. Either is possible. That boils down to Cruz or Kasich. I know that. So I'm happy with Cruz or Kasich as Veep. Only as Veep. Cruz's ROLE as VP is to bring his voters home to the GOP to vote for Trump, not to set policies. The President sets policies. The VP waits around for the President to sneeze. I can accept Cruz in that role, or Kasich, or Christie. Or Rubio for that matter. Not Jeb Bush. Not Romney.

That was a master plan to lie about it for 40 years. That was jealousy speaking. EVERYBODY knows we were getting ripped off by foreign countries It had been happening ever since King Roosevelt and his ugly-ass commie wife/cousin were in the WH. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them. sneakypete  posted on  2016-03-20   16:08:55 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #50. To: sneakypete (#46) Because only children,superstitious fools,and people with severe sexual hangups believe in magic. You wouldn't have liked George Washington. Or any of the founders. They would have been talking about morals and virtues. You would have ran around saying they were bigots because they didn't support putting "gay marriage" in the constitution. Like us they would have thought you were a real loon. You would have been telling them to not have a first amendment. Because you don't support the first amendment. I expect you to lie and say you do. But we both know you don't. A K A Stone  posted on  2016-03-20   16:11:02 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #51.

A K A Stone  posted on  2016-03-20   16:12:31 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #53. To: sneakypete (#36) Yeah,but you still believe in Virgin Birth. Ummm, yes? You know CATHOLIC. HELLO, McFly - Virgin Birth, Mary, all that, it's sort of our signature flavor. You DO know that, don't you? I believe in the Virgin Birth for the same reason that I believe we landed on the Moon. Both of those things are objectively true parts of history, and I know that, even though I wasn't physically present at either. Vicomte13  posted on  2016-03-20   16:14:12 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #54. To: A K A Stone (#52) That is just dumb. Cruz went into a meeting of Eastern Orthodox Arab Christians - people who have been brutalized all over the Middle East. Those people, from the front right there, know that radical Islam is terrible. They ALSO know that Israel is discriminatory against them, and that Israeli policies have brutalized and radicalized the Muslims in their neighborhood, making it much harder for Christians there, much as the American invasion of Iraq broke the civil peace of that country imposed by Saddam Hussein, and ended up unleashing Islamist terrorism on Christians. Middle Eastern Christians are not pro-Israel. They're not "destroy Israel" or "destroy America" jihadis either. They are opposed to aggressive wars and policies that result in the persecution of Christians far and wide, and they know a hell of a lot more about the conditions of Christians on the ground in the Middle East, including in Israel, than Ted Cruz ever will. Cruz came in and didn't give a damn. He insulted them to their face, told them that if they did not support the state of Israel they were part of the problem, not the solution, and he would have nothing to do with them. Cruz is an Israel firster, and really a loathsome shit when you get right down to it. But if he's on the ticket, conservatives who love him will vote for Trump/Cruz, and if that's what it takes to win, then fine. It's like Reagan/HW Bush. You ally with whom you need to in order to defeat the worse threat. You and I are both voting for Trump, for different reasons. Doesn't mean that you're signing up for my beliefs or I, yours.
