By time the CA primary rolls around, Cruz will be so far behind that his campaign will be on life-support. I doubt if anyone would switch to voting for a sure loser based on what anyone in Hollywood has to say.

“The Hollywood Right”?

So which table at Wendy’s will the meeting take place?

"I was in Friends of Abe from 2009 until 2013, and the number-one topic of conversation among members was how 'we,' the Abes, could use our vast 'industry' talents and connections to craft films and TV shows to counter the propaganda from the Hollywood left...

And at every step, with every attempt, we failed...

There are several reasons FOA never lived up to its potential. We drank a lot. Members loved getting loaded and bullshitting each other until 2am. Venues were chosen specifically so that Andrew Breitbart could walk home drunk without having to hail a cab, and GOP-friendly bar owners would shut out regular patrons and proclaim 'open tap night; for the Abes. Believe it or not, all that drinking was simply not conducive to constructive, serious planning.

Also, the A-listers had their own projects going on. They had no desire to have ideas pitched at them by Clovis the gaffer. At no point in my five years with the Abes did Eastwood ever say something like 'Hey Mikelti Williamson, you were Bubba in ;Forrest Gump,' so I have to ask…what do you think my next film should be about?'

Another reason: 'faith-based films,' a fairly dependable genre, weren't in play for Abe consideration. There were too many atheist libertarians and secular (okay, atheist) Jews in the mix, who privately viewed their cross-wearing and churchgoing fellow Abes as irrational Neanderthals. There was a truce between the pro-religion and anti-religion Abes, but that armistice only survived because no one ever put it to the test."

Ignorance among Hollywood conservatives

Who exactly? If there are no names mentioned there is absolutely no point to the story.

This article does not even qualify for my Trump ping list.

They’d be better served just to let the primary play out without overt interference and save their coordinated efforts for the general.
