“seven political operatives, led by Joel Searby, a Republican consultant based in Florida. The group of strategists also includes lead attorney Mohammad Jazil; ballot access specialist Matthew Sawyer; and former George W. Bush pollster Jan Lohuizen, along with a finance team and a “top firm” that has been secured to lead the ballot access petition gathering, members of the team tell The Daily Beast.

“Everyone is hoping that Ted Cruz pulls it out, but I think a great deal of Republicans would rally behind an American hero if the choice is between Mattis and Trump,” said John Noonan, a former Jeb Bush aide now involved in the project to draft Mattis.”

This article is a phony. A collection of Bush operatives, Erickson and Kristol running to The Daily Beast with a phony story. The General does not even want to run. But it shows you how the GOPe are thinking and it shows what the Bush people are up to.
The word “conservative” applies accurately to exactly zero of the conspiratorial consultant/GOPe-type schmucks referenced in that article.
