Never means never, Never Trumpers

Never means never, Never Trumpers

[snip]

Even after Donald John Trump won the presidency, the Never Trumpers taunted us.

But the successes are piling up. Now they don't talk as loud or walk as proud.

As LBA wrote, "Trump beat The National Review, The Weekly Standard, Rich Lowry, Stephen Hayes, Stuart Stephens, and the rest of the conservative griftosphere because they thumb-wrestle for participation trophies while he dropkicks people for the win."

Poor Bill Kristol did not warrant a mention.

Well, none of them do.

The nomination and confirmation of Kavanaugh has them returning to the team.  [snip].  :nono:

There were a lot of "Never Reagans" who eventually joined the fold.

The team is united in supporting the presumption of innocence and opposing partisan character assassination of a good man.

Such unity is hardly surprising given the rock-solid unity of the Dems in opposition to these values. 

It is, however, a temporary alliance.   I may praise President Trump's policies and judicial appointments,  but I reserve the right to oppose him for the 2020 GOP nomination as strongly as I did in 2016.   I remain unconvinced that he merits re-nomination as the GOP standard bearer.

Nothing new here. 

We were told we were 'enemies' and told to 'get out' of the party if we did not first tow the Establishment and then later during the last cycle, support 'Trump'.

That this author opines that he doesn't want anyone back is the same mindset that told us to get out in the first place.

Given the uselessness of the GOP after they were given total power, some of us are forever done with the 'team' and have no intention or desire to go back.

We're free of the plantation.

Perpetually sticking fingers in our eyes by sore winners demanding 100% fealty to Trump and party helps remind us that the decision to dump them was the best choice we ever made.

We no longer have anything in common, so the fighting will be perpetual.

This is one of the silliest messes I've seen in a while.  Good grief, the tone is so embarrassingly childish.

"As LBA wrote, "Trump beat The National Review, The Weekly Standard, Rich Lowry, Stephen Hayes, Stuart Stephens, and the rest of the conservative griftosphere because they thumb-wrestle for participation trophies while he dropkicks people for the win."
Poor Bill Kristol did not warrant a mention.
Well, none of them do"


Yeah, I keep hearing that, and they keep getting mentioned, so...


"The nomination and confirmation of Kavanaugh has them returning to the team.  Or trying to return."



It's amazing. Another bitter, angry winner.



"The National Review was all pro-Kavanaugh and that was nice. It even thanked Susan Collins for voting for him, but curiously not President Trump for nominating him and standing by him when some National Reviewers were arguing Kavanaugh wasn't worth saving."


NRO is made up of many different authors, it isn't just a monolith.  Are we sure no one mentioned Trump in a positive manner?  Really?



"But follow the money -- or in the case of the National Review, the lack thereof -- and you will see why the sudden change in heart.
The magazine is begging for money, again. Its latest pitch is "Your Support Keeps NR a Vital Force in American Life.
Hahaha."


Lol!  What a complete child. 



"Walk down the street and ask the first 10 people you meet about National Review. Get back to me on how many feel it is a vital force."


I'm willing to bet more people would be familiar with NRO than with Don Surber or Sorber or whomever.

Why is that?  Shapiro isn't an NT.

BTW- welcome back.  Where're you been?

Nah, what's funny is you describing a guy whose intellect and accomplishments whip most of us as a boof.

Because he didn't support your love.

That sentiment powers this site.

Long live little billy kristol and evan mcmuffin.

They will be right there on the shelf, when Mitt McRomney might call on them. Not to overlook Kasich or the Bush family political family machine.

Meh... I certainly was moved by Kavanaugh's defense of himself, and I rose to defend him because he was so unfairly vilified...

But Kavanaugh by the numbers? Moderate. Kennedy all over again.

All this GOP 2.0 and everything slamming hard right is nothing but laughable nonsense.

There was never going to be a peace accord or cessation of hostilities with those brain dead NT'ers.  Lets get back to fighting.  The way it was meant to be.

Actually the common enemy of both Liberals/Marxists/Socialists and Trump/Republican Statists IS Principled Conservatives who are not going to budge and support liberalism, regardless of which party or person advocates it.

So yes, the fighting will continue because the issue goes to the core of everything.

One of the great things about the Kavanaugh epic was the way Trump sat of his hands and kept his mouth shut. He could have very easily torpedoed it, but he didnt.  Trump can be great when he's not being Trump!

   That impressed me the most @Suppressed other than a couple of mild tweets and a few Rally shout outs he did remarkably well in staying out of the Kavanaugh Circus. 
   How many here would have been surprised if he called her a mixed up 'Ho' during this attempted assassination of his appointee.
   A lot of credit goes to the Donald and/or his supporting cast.

I disagree. There were many who tried like hell to undermine him all along. They just were smart enough to keep their mouths shut about what they were up to. Just look at the 180 Bush did in '88 to try and get things back on a Globalist track.
