A report from a Republican meeting to stop Donald Trump
Over at his website, The Resurgent, WSB Radio figure Erick Erickson gives a report on today's first meeting in Washington of anti-Trump Republicans. Notice that, in these three paragraphs, which read like a manifesto, the third-party option is played down – but not eliminated:
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.
Jamie Dupree, also of WSB Radio, tosses out some hints here of who's bankrolling the project.
And just to be clear: The AJC and WSB Radio have the same corporate parents.
