“We are not doing anything in the interest of party unity,” said Katie Packer, founder of the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC, which put out a blistering anti-Trump ad Friday afternoon. “We do not think there is anything noble about wrapping our arms around a candidate who isn’t a Republican, doesn’t have a serious policy agenda and has not secured a majority of Republican votes.”
“I’m willing to do anything in my power to stop Trump from hijacking our party,” Packer continued.
“One advocate of the stop-Trump-at-all-costs approach is Stuart Stevens, a former senior adviser to 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney. Stevens said he’s witnessed the slow acquiescence to Trump by party insiders, but he says he’ll never play along. He said that even if Trump reaches 1,237 bound delegates before the convention, Cruz should use his delegate advantage to block him anyway.
“You should do anything you can that’s within — anything you can legally — to try to win an election,” he said.”
Both Katie Parker and Stuart Stevens are Romney’s people.
Romney is a big participant in the Never Trump plot to defy and disenfranchise the voters.
They don’t realize what populist means.
It could be a great danger or it could be a great safety. But it looks like it is what the US political system has to fall back on, the old republican system with its elites having rotten and fallen into folly.
You feed a sick person almost anything to get him to get better, even if no healthy person would make a steady diet of it.
I see a possible parallel with the current “bathroom fury.” I’ve criticized that pretty harshly as being horribly unbalanced in having overlooked far worse factors, but if finally it causes the truth to dawn on people that God gave a gift and we’ve ALL been misusing it and it has left us weak before the devil, then a healing might take place that goes beyond bathrooms. Sometimes the boil must fester and burst before the flesh heals.
Yup. Poor mitt he thought that if trump failed people would call his name.
I guess Mormons don’t tell the future very well
