Reagan Battalion used to be known as the Stop Trump PAC. You can find old tweets of people responding to the Battalion by calling them the Stop Trump PAC. This changed when the FEC told them that they could not have the name because it featured Trump's name. Battalion was born.
This is embarrassing.

Article from April 1, 2016 by David Freedlander.

"A group of Republicans are reading a nuclear option: running a third-party alternative in just a handful of critical swing states in order to block Trump and Hillary from gaining 270 electoral votes."

What a coincidence, almost as if Evan McMullin explicitly said that was his goal: he wanted to stop Trump and Hillary from gaining the electoral college majority so that he could take over as President.

Bill Kristol was redirected to Evan McMullin.

Bill Kristol introduced Evan McMullin to John Kingston, Joel Searby and Rick Wilson, with Wilson and Searby becoming McMullin's campaign strategists.

"... but there is an acknowledgement that we are living in a period without real historical precedent," said Rick Wilson who - after helping run a pro-Marco Rubio SuperPAC - has emerged as a leader of the Stop Trump movement.

"Joel Searby, of the political polling firm Data Targeting, is also said to be spearheading the effort according to another Republican operative unaffiliated with the group."

"'It sounds incredibly complicated. Anytime you get Congress involved you never know what is going to happen,' said Liz Mair, a well-connected GOP operative running a Stop Trump PAC that is focused on denying him delegates at the convention."

Remember a few days ago, I posted a weird story that I accidentally stumbled across.

Cheri Jacobus, Liz Mair and Rick Wilson were victims of catfishing by Steven Wessel.

This is embarrassing, once again, for the Stop Trump PAC known as Reagan Battalion.

According to the FEC, the Treasurer of the Stop Trump PAC is Nathan Lerner. It is listed as "unauthorised" because it was denied, as per the letter, which has the same reference number: C00612863.

Nathan Lerner went on to also found the organisation Keep America Great PAC with Scott Dworkin, with assistance from Jon Cooper.

"Do the people in the party have the stones to actually say to Trump: You have the most delegates but not a majority and therefore the answer is no. I'm anti-Trump enough to think, you do whatever you have to do to stop him from getting the nomination." -- Ben Shapiro
