The Jolt: White House hopefuls heading to Georgia as Trump charges loom
Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | Aug 1, 2023 | By Patricia Murphy, Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell

Posted on 08/02/2023 5:15:12 PM PDT by jacknhoo

Erick Erickson’s upcoming sold-out conservative conference, The Gathering, is shaping up to be a magnet for 2024 White House hopefuls, as long as they’re not named Donald Trump.

The WSB host unveiled the lineup for the three-day conference on Tuesday, which includes six top GOP presidential contenders and more than a dozen other prominent conservative figures.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, executive Vivek Ramaswamy, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and ex-New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are all set to address the Atlanta event, which runs from Aug. 17-19.

Statement from Debbie Dooley — America First Tea Party:

Erick Erickson is the biggest Never Trumper out there and he is very closely aligned with Kemp and doesn't believe the 2020 election was stolen. Erickson strongly opposed Trump in 2016 and he does so now.

Brian Kemp is out to destroy MAGA and the MAGA controlled Georgia GOP. He didn't attend the Georgia GOP Convention, and he encouraged folks to stop giving to the Georgia GOP.

Word is Kemp plans on running for Senate in 2026 and he wants to stop Trump from winning in 2024. He will have GOP opposition. Don't forget Kemp's betrayal in 2026.

Kemp Sponsors Never Trumper Event Scheduled In Atlanta

Excerpts: Kemp is giving $100k to support the Erick Erikson event planned for mid-August.

The AJC today disclosed that Gov. Brian Kemp is helping sponsor an event in mid-August which will host Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former V.P. Mike Pence, Sen. Tim Scott, former Ambassador Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and former N.J. Gov. Chris Christie, along with a group of other officials.

Notably absent from the list of attendees is the republican frontrunner: President Donald J. Trump.

Kemp will also speak at the event.

It appears these six invited candidates do indeed need the exposure, since some polls show only DeSantis measuring support in double-digits:

That should raise about $100.00.

Eric E. should place a large, professionally upholstered reading chair at the center of the debate room. The chair, shall remain empty, symbolizing the missing Elephant in the room named Donald Trump.

Trump should hold a rally about 20 miles away and suck all the oxygen out of the “want-a-be’s”.

The Gathering. What a joke for a name. Sounds like some sicko sci-fi movie. The Gathering of a bunch of globalist RINO boobs.

Hey, that is what it will probably seem like if you watch it.

I will save this time slot to freshen up my sock drawer.

Chris Christie should stay in Livingston New Jersey with the rest of the mafia from Newark.

Erick is a dud. I listened a few times a long time ago.

He was a big fan boy of Paul Ryan. He was a big fan of Kemp in the GOP primary of 2018. Kemp wasn’t the worst choice, but he was close.

I’ll vote Libertarian in the general for Senate in 2026 if Kemp wins the GOP bid, at least in the first round. Have to decide what to do in run off. Kemp did fine on Covid but screwed all Republicans by settling the election suit just to hurt Trump and subsequently he stopped the best election reforms. The only saving grace is he has four ugly daughters. Was never able to get the boy. The closest he will get is a SIL who marries for political power. LOL.

Rama’ will be the only one to defend Trump and will become a solid number two for the rest of the campaign.

He can NOT hold that office.

Wake up people.

Ignore the primary. If Trumps gets the nomination, he’ll lose in the General. The Electoral math is not there. Georgia and Virginia may go Red. But Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania will go Blue again. And he’s still short.

I am becoming confident they do not realize reality.

They are going to avalanche Independent votes for Trump. They are going to prosecute him right into the WH, in which he will pardon himself for everything, and start prosecution of the prosecutors.

And rest assured the lawyers he sends to DOJ will understand how to go about ensuring their targets cannot claim their offense was while an employee and thus have their legal expenses covered. These folks are insane. They are believers in the Swamp and actually think the Swamp will protect them. The Swamp will be totally occupied trying to survive and won’t care about them.

For years, I just had to turn off the radio when Erickson show started since he was constantly telling the listeners how smart he was (especially about Georgia politics) as he promoted the GOP establishment politicians. My talk radio options were limited and I kept the dial on the station that gave me Rush Limbaugh.

Recently however, I stopped myself from turning it to music and just went ahead and listened to Erickson’s comments. Today as I was running household errands, I happened to pick up his commentary. He trashed both Trump and his supporters as he gave credence to the positions of established “moderate” Republicans who are basically “Democrat-lite”. It irritated me to no end as he pretended to know the thoughts of conservatives. He was promoting this upcoming conference and naming the list of speakers and attendees. Every single one was a never-Trumper established GOP politician whose main goal is to rid the party of Trump and return to the times when they could get conservatives to send them money in support of promises they never plan on keeping.

Erickson pretends that no one, no one at all actually supports Trump and will vote for him except for the uninformed rural Georgians who have no knowledge of politics. He thinks Biden has overwhelming support and of course he received 81 million legitimate votes in 2020! If only those in Georgia would listen to Erick and his advice! He could tell them what to think and who to vote for! I believe, from some things he have said, that Pence is actually his preference. If not Pence, then DeSantis.

Erickson actually believes that if the party will jettison Trump, then politics nationwide can return to “normal”. In other words, a time when both parties lie to us and we pretend to believe them as Democrats get their way in all policy decisions. It was disgusting. I finally turned off the radio altogether and just created in my head my own commentary to give Erickson should I ever have the chance to engage him in conversation.

This meeting he is putting together is a collaboration of the Sea Island crew. Think Rove, Kemp, Christie, and Pence and you have a general idea of the grifters who will be speaking.
