Top anti-Trump Republicans will meet in Washington DC on Thursday on how to plot a third party run.
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.
The Politico reported:
POLITICO’s Shane Goldmacher: “Three influential leaders in the conservative movement have summoned other top conservatives for a closed-door meeting this Thursday in Washington, D.C., to talk about how to stop Donald Trump and, should he become the Republican nominee, how to run a third-party ‘true conservative’ challenger in the fall. The organizers of the meeting include Bill Wichterman, who was President George W. Bush’s liaison to the conservative movement, Bob Fischer, a South Dakota businessman and longtime conservative convener, and Erick Erickson, the outspoken Trump opponent and conservative activist who founded RedState.com.
“The meeting is scheduled for Thursday … One person involved in the gathering described it as in the ‘embryonic’ stages. ‘It’s not like there’s a royal grand plan that’s going to be unfurled,’ this person said. ‘People aren’t giving up on the Republican Party yet.’”
Thanks @glennbeck for the kind words.
