Never Trump counter-convention to target congressional Republicans
Washington Examiner ^ | May 23, 2020 | David M. Drucker

Never Trump Republicans planning to gather in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August, at the same moment as President Trump’s renomination celebration there are taking aim at congressional Republicans.

The “Convention on Founding Principles” is scheduled to coincide with the Republican presidential nominating convention, which is set for Aug. 24–27 at the Spectrum Center arena.

“Even if Trump weren’t in the picture, the party would still need some reforming,” said Evan McMullin, a Never Trump Republican and one of the organizers of the event. McMullin mounted a failed, eleventh-hour third-party bid against Trump in 2016 and later co-founded the group Stand Up Republic to counter the president’s takeover of the GOP.

They could hold their “convention” in a gas station bathroom with room to spare.

Freaks, losers, phonies, mountebanks and liars. Romney should be the keynoter since McCain is no longer available.

30 Oct 2016: WaPo: Inside Evan McMullin’s 10 years undercover in the CIA
by Josh Rogin
Conservative independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin is rising in the polls and stands a fair chance of stealing the red state of Utah from GOP nominee Donald Trump. So it’s no surprise that pro-Trump Republicans and others are raising questions about his record as an undercover CIA officer...

This has left McMullin vulnerable to attacks he cannot publicly address. But I interviewed six former CIA officers who worked with McMullin during his 10 years inside the agency. What emerged was a picture of a young case officer who volunteered for duty in the world’s most dangerous places and had a unique talent for recruiting members of extremist organizations as assets...
“He believes in what he says and that’s how he recruited people,” the (UNNAMED) station chief said. “People fundamentally trust Evan.”...

The former spy may become the first non-major-party presidential candidate to win a state since 1968 without most of the country coming to know him. That might be his most successful covert operation.

I’m guess there will be plenty of social distancing at this confab.

This is great news! These scumbags will be close enough to real Republicans for the real Republicans to point at them and laugh in their face. It will be led by McMuffin Delecto and Moon Face - what a line up!

Since when was this Mormon CIA cutout a top Republican?

And would he fault Romney for leadership too?

This is why I don’t trust Mormons. They talk “patriotic”, but don’t forget that they were once a polygamist anti American cult. It was only when Utah became a State and their grand poohbah had a “vision”, did they decide to become monogamous and patriotic.

Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, Harry Reid are three more reasons to distrust Mofmons.

The guys who who gave us Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney and the Bushes.

Four losses and two bare wins.

vs the first Republican electoral landslide since 1988 (a Reagan, not a Bush victory).

Yeah. Good luck with that fellas.

You can’t claim to be a member of a political party and have a voice in its direction if you are actively opposing it in elections.
