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.

Thank you, heights. Keep that handy.
“Pathway to legalization” should really sell big for Cruzbots, with the voters, in an era of TRUMP. NOT.
Mr. Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, said the personal contempt for Mr. Cruz among some Republican insiders was blinding."Cruz is so hated in Washington that there's this distortion about him that he's outside the bounds of what is plausible in American politics," Mr. Kristol said.
So, who is he for? Are any of these clows for a candidate? Or is it all negative?
Is this the same guy who subs for Rush from time to time? If so it’s the last time I tune him in. I’ll just wait for Rush to get back.
Well Bob Dole (Conservative Republican) endorsed Trump on Greta Tonight!!!
Dang I keep typing in the cracks!!!
Who says Donald Trump is conservative?
Not many call Trump conservative. But, he is conservative on controlling our borders. I don’t think these 22 can say the same.
EE is also an idiot. He’ll forever rue the day he blinked in the face of political correctness and disinvited Trump from his little white panther party.
When I was in high school, and then in college, National Review was my go-to magazine for exploring conservative thought. It’s writers were excellent.
It has been years since I read that magazine and about a year since I checked out their NRO site.
I think they may still be against amnesty, but that is about all. Their writers now are all small minded hacks.
I know it must sucks to be a loser, but you should try not to be so offensive.
Deo,
You’ve been busted two times in the past ten minutes posting items that have been thoroughly revealed to be false. Going for a trifecta?
Never forget - conservatism has its own FSA, and these guys are it.
I’m sure the infamous 22 supported Bush the Younger. Remember him? The guy who brought the federal government to its knees?
Oh wait...
Lol it’s ok. I just posted the same graphic on two threads. And then I found out it was fake. Am reported it to the mods to get removed. Calm down, it will be ok. I promise! :-)
Let me guess, for these three stooges ¡Yeb! Bush is the true conservative in the race.
Allahpundit says we are “bustin’ out the scare quotes” on FR. Hi, pundit. That’s a little trick people use when they think the man in the moon is more conservative than you are.
This seems to be part of a new GOPe plan. They will all endorse Trump and that will take him down. Dole also said Cruz was a RINO. I could not believe my ears.
Erickson not a conservative? Trump not a conservative? Im not a conservative? You are not a conservative?
The conservative tent must be very small.
Define conservative:
Anyone who takes seriously his oath of office to uphold the Constitution.
Anyone for small government
Anyone for traditional values
Anyone for less spending
Anyone for strong foreign policy without asking the UN for permission.
Maybe more.
Many people are single issue just one of these and vote on that single issue. They are conservative, even though it is only on one issue because that issue drives their action.
Dole also said Cruz was a RINO..
Yea that was funny!!! He also said I’m a conservative and Cruz was an extremist!!
