Romney gathers 'NeverTrump' crowd for Utah retreat
WND ^ | Cheryl Chumley

Posted on 06/10/2016 4:08:31 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Mitt Romney, the twice-failed Republican candidate for president, has kicked off a weekend convention of fellow-minded “NeverTrump-ers,” hosting a retreat at a secluded Utah spot so they can gather and talk without worry of media coverage and condemnation about how they should proceed politically, if the billionaire businessman wins the White House.

It’s called the “Experts and Enthusiasts Summit,” or “E2” summit, and it’s set at the Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley in Park City, the Washington Post reported.

Reportedly, those in attendance will talk about their plans to take down Trump with a third-party candidate. Such talk was going strong in recent weeks, fueled by Weekly Standard neoconservative editor Bill Kristol. But Kristol’s top pick, National Review writer David French, opted against a run, sending the “NeverTrump” crowd back to square one.

The retreat is seen as a hopeful new stand against Trump, with about 300 of the party’s establishment attending, Breitbart said.

I have to wonder what is happening to the talk show audience. From my own perspective, I find Mark Levin and Michael Medved unlistenable in the evening drive time for all their anti-Trump rants. Bill Bennett was more moderate than conservative, but he was at least not too inclined to go on anti-Trump harangues. Wisely, he decided to retire, but Hugh Hewitt is even more obnoxious than Levin or Medved. Limbaugh is too full of himself, and Savage, while pro-Trump, rants incessantly.

There are some decent local talk radio people in Dallas, notably Grant Stinchfield, but for the most part, I would rather listen to the traffic and weather reports.

Give us names. First, are any of Trump’s defeated opponents or their representatives attending? Is Ryan or Priebus or their representatives attending?

By not voting for a ‘moderate’ republican......you In effect voted for a Marxist. You would cut off your nose to spite your face.

We are plagued with Marxist because of you and your type conservative.

I only voted once for a president I liked. Reagan. The other times I voted AGAINST the leftist other guy. It’s not pretty but it is reality.

Illuminati, globalists, uniparty...take your pick. They do NOT give a damn about you or me...they have been exposed. (Rush, Levin and Panetta on the same team. Who woulda thunk?)

The story is being somewhat misreported. Romney has had similar gatherings before.

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865655877/Trump-and-big-ideas-focus-of-Romneys-retreat-for-GOP-elite.html?pg=all

mentions Paul Ryan, Meg Whitman, Ben Sasse, Tom Cotton, Priebus, Leon Panetta, and James Baker as attendees.

Last year when the Bildbergs met, he was absent all week, also. He probably is meeting with them, and this one also.

The GOPe is admitting they are not trying to win the presidency, only to stop Trump. Or in other words, they are working for the globalists.

BINGO.

The GOP = Globalist Operational Puppets

The RNC is planning on leaving Trump twisting in the wind like the did tp Cuccinelli when he was trying to beat Warner in the ‘14 VA governors race a few years ago.

That’s the Republican Party, folks. A bunch of Globalist oligarchs who couldn’t care less about the Republican “base” much less the American people.

Treasonous vermin, but they've been like that for a long time, it took a Trump to shine a light on those cockroaches.

It’s the E2 Elite vs. Trump voters; from Park City, Mormonville.

True that. I also threw in the name of the person speaking, just in case somebody has inside information on the source. I assume his conservative credentials are similar to those of Krauthammer, Erickson, Arlen Specter, or Lindsey Graham.

Yup. Cuccinelli received the same GOP stiff arm.

Like a pack of hyenas they've been stalking Trump's every word waiting to jump him just as soon as the MSM created a big enough fake meme. They figure NOW is THE time to take him out.

The RNC-GOP traitors are making their move to sabotage Trump and publicly withdraw/denounce support. A Hitlery Regime both kills America and the GOP.

Uniparty eunuchs.

I'm sure the Domaine Ramonet Montrachet Grand Cru wine and Beaufort D’ete cheese will be generously served on silver platters as they rub elbows and wring their hands over their Party's losses. How could the masses lose faith in their leadership?!

There was and is plenty of evidence that Romney fights harder against conservatives and conservative causes than liberals. As the father of Obamacare, I would say there is little evidence that he would have been any better than Obama. From gay marriage, socialized healthcare, to open borders....I just don’t don’t see many differences between Willard and Barky.

Sorry if that ruins your Romney feel good.

If Kristol and Romney find a third-party candidate, he/she will probably wind up being a fourth-party candidate, behind the Libertarians. Trump doesn’t need to worry about a fourth-party candidate going anywhere.
