Quote
“He does not need to speak to the “Never Trumpers,” some of my friends – or maybe former friends – who suffer from a terrible case of moral superiority and put their own vanity and taste above the interest of the country."


He is correct about the fact Trump should not waste time on attempting to shame, ridicule or coerce us into voting for him.  He told us repeatedly he did not want nor need 'principled Conservative' votes - and essentially told us to go to hell, he did not want nor would accept our support. His rabid storm trooping militants joined suit and trumpeted the same thing - and vowed they will 'win' without us.

It less to do with 'moral superiority' (which it actually is, if one puts God and biblical principles first), than it does the fact we NeverTrumpers adopted this stance BECAUSE of what Trump himself and his followers said, did and continue to do.

So pound sand there Bill.  You made Idolatry of party and a demagogue your god.

Seems when trumpansie poster after poster gets away with slander.... and calling us who will NOT vote for trump as Hillary supporters....in Direct contradiction of Board decorum..and rule.

Well maybe it is appropos to give proper feedback to them.

Why would so many of us refuse to vote for the nominee of the party  we've supported all our lives (in my case, over forty years)?

Vanity?  Sore loserism?   If only.  I am dreading the next four years with Hillary Clinton.

Take a close look at the hot mess you've nominated.   See what we see.

All the negativity. Wow. It would possibly bum me out except we scored tickets to Pagliacci! Woo-hoo! So nothing can upset me tonight.

It will do no good to once again implore everyone to notch it down a bit, if only for the sake of the children, and one's own blood pressure.

I am happy in knowing that I am happy.

I don't know what to say. I genuinely feel sorry for some of you guys. But, as they say in Hebrew, hatslacha! (good luck). Keep fighting the good fight. As long as we all do what it is we feel we are called to do, then at least we will all have clear consciences when it is all over.

And now to get dressed and kill the Paaartyyyyy!

ALL of us??  There are hundreds of us who don't like Trump who make post after post with nothing that is anything but "classy" and we ALL get broad brushed with your personal attack??

The irony of my seeing you say this tripe after having been attacked by your bosom buddy here and watching you defend her vile post and pile on is almost too much to bear.

And if you DARE say that this place is ANYTHING like DU again, you should be whacked with a wet noodle.

It's hyperbolic nonsense and completely false.  And you KNOW it @flowers.

There is far too much vanity among Trump lovers to admit that THEY are the ones responsible for putting Hillary in the WH.

We will never see any of the militant Trumpers admit what they have done.

You can take that to the bank.

Great analysis on the moral superiority, vain, leftist liberal democrat #NeverTrump-ers, as they help put Clinton in office to finish off the USA as she creates a full on PRO-ABORT SCOTUS.

This is about the TRUTH and a PRO-LIFE SCOTUS. You let Clinton win, and you let her create a PRO-ABORT SCOTUS.

I am not voting for Trump because I am not a liberal.

PRO ABORT SCOTUS?

It certainly does.  I've seen it happen over and over again.  The most glaring and extreme case I can think of involves a person who briefly posted here.

Hmmm,  "I believe in actions, not words."     Have you seen him have an abortion?  I didn't think so. So therefore, according to you, he isn't pro-abort. And if he isn't pro-abort, then he is pro-lifer.   Enjoy!
