PHOENIX – Fearful of a Donald Trump
nomination to lead the Republican Party,
conservative leaders huddled privately in
Washington on Thursday in search of a plan to
stop the billionaire businessman. His Republican
rivals braced for another Trump victory, this
time in delegate-rich Arizona.
The Republican Party has an eager alternative in
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, yet some party leaders are
exploring “other avenues” instead of rallying
behind the fiery conservative, an ominous sign
that Republican leaders’ deep dislike of Cruz
complicates their overwhelming concern about
Trump.
“The establishment is like a wounded animal,
now cornered,” said Mark Meckler, an early
leader in the tea party movement. “They are
terrified, irrational and flailing wildly.”
Even after being denied victory in five contests
on Tuesday, Cruz insists he still has a path to the
1,237 delegates necessary to claim the
Republican presidential nomination. But in a
strategy memo obtained by The Associated
Press, his campaign essentially cedes Arizona’s March 22 primary to Trump and acknowledges that Cruz must win 79 percent of the remaining delegates before the Republican Party’s July national convention.
“This is the moment for all those who believe in a strong America to come together and craft a new path forward,” Cruz declared on Twitter
while conservatives were meeting in downtown Washington to brainstorm ways to stop his party’s front-runner.
Organizers of the meeting included conservativecommentator Erick Erickson and Christianconservative leader Bob Fischer. The goal, as stated in the invitation, was “to strategize how to defeat Donald Trump for the Republican nomination, and if he is the Republican nomineefor president, to offer a true conservative candidate in the general election.”
The group released a statement after roughly
four hours behind closed doors calling for a
“unity ticket that unites the Republican Party.”
While many in the room supported Cruz, they
declined to endorse the Texas senator or the
only other remaining presidential contender,
Ohio Gov. John Kasich, and instead urged all
former Republican presidential candidates to
unite against Trump. They also embraced the
possibility of a contested convention.
“Lastly, we intend to keep our options open as
to other avenues to oppose Donald Trump,” they said, an apparent reference to a possible third- party candidacy that might stop Trump but likely sacrifice the Republican Party’s chances in the general election to Democrat Hillary Clinton.
LINDSEY GRAHAM TO HELP CRUZ
On Capitol Hill, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey
Graham said he’d help Cruz raise campaign cash in the hope of stopping Trump’s march.
De enige oplossing voor alle problemen is niet naar één oplossing te zoeken.
