Appearing on Glenn Becks radio show on Wednesday, Never Trump leader Erick Erickson mused on yet another scheme to foist Mitt Romney on the American electorate this year.
If one can wade through Glenn Beck and Erick Erickson discussing wild-eyed conspiracy theories involving GOP nominee Donald Trump and Russia and their claims that they are among the few remaining Americans who still believe in the Constitution, you will hear some serious crazy as Beck, his co-hosts, and Erickson elaborate on a strategy to derail the GOP nominee and throw the November Presidential election to the House of Representatives to decide.
The theory, as explained by Becks co-host Stu Burguiere, is to run a conservative candidate in two to three deep red states where Hillary Clinton has no chance of winning, so that Trump cant get to the 270 electoral vote threshold needed to win, thereby throwing the election to the House of Representatives, assuming that Hillary doesnt win outright.
Their dream conservative candidate seems to be Mitt Romney but only because Paul Ryan is the Speaker of the House, and therefore unavailable. They never do get around to accounting for the widespread unpopularity of both these men across the GOP base. But then their plan isnt genuinely rooted in democracy anyway.

None of them have provided a single believable reason why they are against Trump. This leaves me pondering: Could they be part of Soross secret infiltrators?
Recently heard Erickson saying (paraphrased) — No matter what you think about the clinton marriage, at least they kept it together. Doesn’t matter why, whether it was politics, or whatever, they kept it together. Can’t say that about Trump.
He sounded sincere, like that fact was really important for him, that he admired them.
Never mind they kept it together because they both know where the bodies are buried (literally and figuratively speaking).
Idiots. Romney would just take votes away from Hillary at this point.

Not a snowballs chance to work. The plan is too run a conservative in at least three deep red states where “Hillary has no chance to win”. This means they think they can find a conservative that can win these three states “denying an electoral college victory for trump”.
They have to win these three states, otherwise Hillary or Trump will win them. If Trump wins, they lose. If Hillary wins them, she wins the electoral college. If Hillary wins the electoral college, then the selection of the president goes to the House and they lose.
Now, if they know of a conservative that could win “three deep red states”, then why didn’t they get that conservative to run in the primaries?
Johnson hasn’t made it on all the state ballots. Last time I looked he was stuck at 33. They are better off doing a write in campaign.
These two morons along with their self-rightous backers are free to believe whatever they want to but it is far past the point where they have any relevance anymore.
In the days of old, a man was hanged for stealing a horse. In these enlightened times, trying to steal a country isn’t such a big deal.
We still have lots of rope.
Agreed, unfortunately I have to hear Fatass Erickson on my way home from work if I want traffic updates. His “reasons” just never seemed to make any real sense to me. Just nonsense and then a bunch of doom. I had to turn him off.
WSB in Atlanta, If you’re reading this, you’re going down!
2 nobodies with no influence don’t really “plot” anything. It’s kind of like how stoned people sit around the living room and solve all the world’s problems, they can blather a lot but in the end it don’t mean nothing.
gonna be fun watching those two ships sink. I can’t wait to LOL at them when it happens.
What about Jill Stein? How many states is she on the ballot? She’s going to get a bump from this week’s activities.
I see what you’re saying and sit corrected. Not a snowball’s chance, I guess, as you said.
Still, it shows how some are #NeverTrumpers really hate us FReepers and will work their phat butts off for this but not FOR Trump. Clowns to the left of me...
They’re crazy
I’m not sure that Hillary isn’t more conservative than Romney.
I know it can’t.
This country is not going to survive a presidency of this idiot buffoon grinning jackass, Clinton.
Beck, Erickson, Levin, Romney, Cruz are total frauds, and if they succeed in hoisting that dullard upon America, may they and all of their children suffer.
Sadly, Beck, Erickson, Levin, Romney, Cruz are connected and wealthy enough for their children to escape the perils that your and my children might face :(
Glen Beck answers the problem, “What do we do with our mentally ill people that we cannot warehouse?”
Give them radio shows.
If it were going to happen, he’d be on the ballot somewhere already.
