‘Never Trump’ Conservatives Soften to President Trump, Hail His Achievements

[INVAR]

Oh, it won't be over.  People who take a moral position, particularly in politics, are too self-righteous to give it up.

No wonder you are beholden to the Republicans when giving up and surrendering moral positions to the Socialist/Marxist/Left is a hallmark and legacy of your party.

It stands for nothing and believes in nothing but it's own perpetual power, influence and invitations to all the cocktail parties in DC.

Embassy move to Jerusalem....

I'm considering changing my tune, when I see less of the red highlighted stuff. Until then, I'm right up on my high horse, for picking the right guy AND then seeing why I was correct to do so.

--Lower taxes
--Less regulation
--Defeat ISIS
--Gorsuch
--Etc. etc.

Peace

You're brave to make that request. I admire you for that.

But the folks here you're making that humble request to won't even let us have a pleasant conversation with them on this game we agree with without tossing out the NT moniker.

Maybe in 2018 they'll stop being such sore winners.

You actually made me guffaw out loud with that response, forcing me to show your post to the others here in the office to see what the devil I find so darned funny.  I had to explain that you are supposedly not a Democrat; although you are indeed an active poster on DU.

Oh yes, we should graciously accept your BS, calling us tin-foilers, stupid, ..., etc.  Sure buddy.  You’re something else.  LOL

Enjoy the win.  We know you are no matter how much you try to remain ever-so-superior to the rest of us.  ;). What is good for the country is all that matters.

I do like those tweets...the only ones I cringe at and detest are the ones he makes fun of people...just keep it to politics..

Right, the petty ones bother me most, a little beneath the dignity of the office.
The other ones are fine.

I am sure he doesn't care what I think about it, one way or the other....

[Oceander]

These are words of high praise, coming from you.

If you say so.  Clinton was a better president than Trump has been, or is likely to be, his dalliances notwithstanding. 

[skeeter]

I will be most happy to comply the very instant they drop the pom-poms.

Well I guess the scrappin' will go on indefinitely then.

At one time his tweets made me cringe.  Now I enjoy them.  It’s so much fun watching the libs and NTs (again the real NTs, not their minions here) go bonkers over them.  It has provided me endless entertainment the last few months.

I suppose it might be too much to ask from the Trump Cheerleading Squad, but can we please stop already with the "never-Trump" epithet employed against anyone who offers the slightest, mildest critique of His Orange Highness?

It's dumb, it's insulting, and it ought to crawl back under the damp rocks that inhabit seamy little propaganda holes like Breitbart.

The fact of the matter is that many of us who don't particularly care for the fellow have been consistent in praising him when he has been right and done good things, and have criticized him when he has been wrong and Tweeted dumb things.

It is true that some Trump critics on the Right cannot seem to bring themselves to praise him for anything - especially elitists like David Frum, who now seems to admire Democrats more than Republicans.

But more to the point - I believe most of us really do deserve to be treated to more than casual insults when we dare to point out that Donny has occasionally, once in a while, every now and then.... been known to, well... defecate the futon.  Cheers!

I really like you @andy58-in-nh .... but you're totally full of crap.

How many effing insults can YOU type in one reply?

"I'd rather you just say, "Thank You"!    Either way, I don't give a damn!"   .....  Colonel Jessup.

I beg to differ, the only thing Clinton did right was sign bills resultant of the Contract with America, and most of the time he was kicking & screaming.

But I have many leftist friends who feel as you do.

Actually, *some* of them prefer to tell us to FO and actively try to make things unpleasant.

[libertybele]

LOL. Yeah. Clinton was a real leader. He got all those things he promised in '92 passed like gun control and........and......and that's about it. Good thing that gun ban is still in effect though......wait. That got flushed by Bush? Well never mind.

Silly you...you forgot that he signed NAFTA into law.  Yeppers ... how did that work out?  Not!  Oh, and let's not forget the stellar example he set for not having sex with Lewinsky- the moral decay/corruption that evolved since then because he was NEVER held responsible or accountable has significantly damaged this country and is now the liberal leftist mental midget way!

I'd like to see fewer people on high horses of any kind.  That's the gloating I was talking about.

[truth_seeker]

I hope there comes a time on TBR that the name calling will stop on both sides....I think we are very very close.

You are in the driver's seat and are the only one that can put teeth into it.

Perjury is okay with you? Terror attacks unanswered? Technology transfer to China?

Thanks for this clarification.

Must account for some of his material used here.

I missed "Riding the High Horse" on the list of policy goals.  Could you please quote that for me, and point it out?  I'm all eyes.

Added:  I highlighted what I'm talking about in the quote I posted, in case you missed it.

[mystery-ak]

True..but not without calling TBR a pro Trump site or anti Trump which I won't do..TBR is to remain neutral and all politicians are subject to scrutiny.

Lots of bruised egos here .   Sad.

@Emjay

So politics shouldn't be linked to morals.  Good to know.

George Washington and Ronald Reagan, to name two presidents, would strongly disagree.

Get off your High Horse there, @LonestarDream.  My ego is as healthy as ever.

[skeeter]

Good grief, even our posts are starting to read like Trump tweets...

[Cyber Liberty]

And all I asked was for him to knock off the High Horse bullshit, it's not helping the tenor of discussion.  Sad.

[Silver Pines]

Mark Levin has written/spoken a more convincing set of words, calling lingering #nevertrumps to account.

@truth_seeker

Mark Levin lost all credibility with me when he said that Trump's presidency would be a success if the only thing he accomplished was irritating the left. 

I don't know who the hardcore NeverTrumpers in the media are, to be honest.  Well, aside from Rubin and Bill Kristol.  Shapiro, Goldberg, Erickson, Podhoretz, Loesch---they all started out as NTs but since the election they've been very fair.  You'll see equal amounts of criticism and praise from all of them.  What you won't see is unqualified veneration.  That's why Erickson lost his job at Fox, and it's why Levin was hired and is  ramping up the tributes.
