Conservatives to meet to plot third party run
Politico: “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, two days after winner-take-all Florida and Ohio vote in what many Republican operatives believe will determine whether Trump is on an unstoppable march to the nomination or is likely to stall out short of the 1,237 delegates he needs.”

meet for this purpose and I hope they begin shortly to fight among themselves about just who will control the mechanism etc of this third party of nutbags.
What a macabre lineup of clowns and psychomaniacs. There's no assurance that they can raise the cash to compete (although it's not at all out of the question). There's no assurance that "conservative voters" will flock to whatever ticket they throw together. There's no assurance that the media will project them as anything but hot-headed sore losers (although nothing should be put past the media).
I can't predict doom for this group because there are just too many possible variables. But I can wish it on them nevertheless.
Erick Erickson!?!?
