Three influential leaders in the conservative movement have summoned other top conservatives for a closed-door meeting this Thursday in Washington D.C. to talk about how to stop Donald Trump and, should he become the Republican nominee, how to run a third-party “true conservative” challenger in the fall.
The organizers of the meeting include Bill Wichterman, who was President George W. Bush’s liaison to the conservative movement, Bob Fischer, a South Dakota businessman and longtime conservative convener, and Erick Erickson, the outspoken Trump opponent and conservative activist who founded RedState.com.
"Please join other conservative leaders to strategize how to defeat Donald Trump for the Republican nomination,” the three wrote in an invitation obtained by POLITICO that recently went out to conservative leaders, "and if he is the Republican nominee for president, to offer a true conservative candidate in the general election."

Pathetic and disgusting.
This is the best primary ever.
They are doing Hillary’s dirty work for her, and free of charge.
“Conservative’s” who would rather see a socialist President, than Trump?! Makes me sick to my stomach!
The Elect Hillary Brigade
The Elect Hillary Brigade
where are the names of those conservatives as I don’t see any?
Shouldn’t we find a faux liberal to run and peel votes to Hillary.

Liason guy hasn’t done a good job at liasoning.
Erick Erickson is not a “leader” but a commentator and sometimes quoted author.
And the other guy from South Dakota? OK, never heard of the fellow.
We’re not gonna take it, no we ain’t gonna take ... anymore.
This is great .... Then WE can have the GOP....
Here, please sign this. We want to make sure you don’t run third party against us.
If anyone is going to do it, we are...
with all due respect, we do this every election.
“we’ve got them on the run” “they’re panicking”
no. a third party would take the 10 percent of moderates and we would lose.
we have to STOP this by any means necessary.
this isn’t a good think.
because we’re on the Trump train, don’t think there’s not other trains other people aren’t willing to board.
especially with the media and GOPe hitting the Candy Crush crowd every day.
we need to WRECK the rallies of any third party and make Chicago look like a dance last week.
this one’s gonna be a bruiser.
but first we can warn ALL of our politicians that they even THINK of supporting 3rd party, they’re dead to us
This is great .... Then WE can have the GOP.... Let ‘em leave... new party - Canada - whatever. Getting the GOPe out of our party would be a winnah!
Hey, Jerks!
I’ll change my vote to Trump so fast it’ll make your head spin.
I’ll change a couple dozen votes from Cruz to Trump.
Keep your filthy Mitts out of this.
These people are not conservatives, they are statists and out of touch with the American people.
If they truly understood the fire behind Trump’s presidential run, they would understand Americans have had enough of the progressive statist bankrupt big-government culture. Instead, they choose to attempt to go the opposite route and protect statism.

Politico hasn’t a clue as to what a “true Conservative” is.
These aren’t “Top Conservatives” These are “Top Elitists”
Who think they are Gods gift to mankind.
They can all go to hell.
