Ideas include oath to single candidate, pledge to stay in race until end.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — As the Republican National Committee convenes its spring meeting in this resort city, conservative activists fearful of getting stuck with another moderate candidate in 2016 are gathering 2,300 miles away to plot strategies to engineer the presidential nomination to their liking.
Representatives of some 40 conservative groups plan to meet Wednesday at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in the Washington suburb of McLean, Virginia, where they will air their fears of having the nomination process hijacked by establishment Republicans and wrestle over different strategies to turn the primaries and caucuses to their advantage.
Their goal is to avoid ending up with another moderate, establishment candidate like they landed in 2008 with John McCain and in 2012 with Mitt Romney. Their hope is to find a way to pick a nominee who, if elected, would actually stay the course the way they think Ronald Reagan did 35 years ago....

Well it’s not a secret anymore
The fact the conservatives must plot in secret to hijack the Republican Party says more about the Republican Party than it does about the conservatives.
It is a good thing, regardless.
At least there’s a plan. Imagine if millions of conservatives signed a statement that they would stay home if any of the moderates win the primary. That would send a strong message.
I think Cruz gets that conservative repub voters have HAD IT.

Jethro’s job is to block Ted. Period.
I think Cruz gets that conservative folks who love America, patriotic voters have HAD IT.
we may have to settle for either a Cruz/Rubio or Cruz/Martinez ticket. both are our only hope at this point.
My tagline
Finally, someone GETS IT. The last time was Reagan. Not Bush I or ii, not McCain, not Romney. Dole who? (with due respect to all of these men’s military service)
Cruz is the real deal.
Settle? I'd love either because it would be fresh new faces, not the dynasty hand-me-downs or placeholders like McCain.

Well it’s about time. Conservatives aren’t afraid to do what must be done. Love that this is what Reagan did. God help us win!
No Rubio, NO WAY!
Oh, I agree. I was just pointing out the sad state of affairs.
Watch out. Emperor Barky may order the food poisoned.
Ok..Cruz or lose!...but it really is bigger then that....His VP better be on board.....it will take 16 yrs to fix the problems we have.....Its about an ideal....Tell me how it turns out..
Absolutely
Vice-Presidential candidates are often showpieces to keep the losers satisfied....emphasis on losers. We’ve been in that spot too often. It’s a dirty feeling.
If we can get one of our guys in the top spot, I’m content to let the GOP-e be the losers this time and have one of their guys get the consolation prize.
