Conservatives pen anti-Trump manifesto (22 'Conservatives' including Erick Erickson)
The Hill ^ | 1/21/16 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 01/21/2016 4:11:58 PM PST by jimbo123

Conservative authors are banding together to publish a manifesto Friday denouncing the ideas of Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

Leading conservatives including Erick Erickson, William Kristol and Yuval Levin have written essays for a special issue of National Review to be published Friday, The New York Times reports.

"Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot on behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as The Donald himself," reads an editorial accompanying the essays in the issue, according to the newspaper.

The issue will include essays from 22 prominent conservative voices, according to CNN.

With “conservatives” like that, Trump’s numbers will just keep going up!

You’d think at some point these brainiacs would figure out that attacks by the likes of them are endorsements to the people inclined to support Trump and they’d be better of STFU.

They are wasting their time. Trump will be the nominee and the next President.

Duh....Trump isn't running for the Conservative party nomination. Dunno, why these 'writers' never came together to try and fix the GOP or make a stand against Obama.

OK Conservative. Meaning what exactly? The s*** we’ve been handed by thirty years of Republican, supposedly conservative, rule?

Erickson and Krystol? If they are “leaders” who are the followers?

Rush needs to stop having this Erickson on as a guest.He disinvited Trump to a Red State function in early days of campaign. Rush does not endorse canidates. He has spent a lot of time talking bout Trump because he is explaining how the country got into the mess that even makes a Trump canidacy possible. This could not have happened at most any other juncture of our history

I’m betting Trump is shaking in his boots right now, and will drop out of the race immediately.

I know I’ve been impatiently waiting to hear what Yuval Levin and Kristol have to say.
