Rush Limbaugh: The Conceit and Insecurity of the NeverTrumpers

Folks, this is it! That little two-line sentence explains 90% of the conservative intellectual Never Trumper movement. They simply cannot accept the notion that the things they believe in are in the hands of somebody so incompetent and rude and barbarian as Donald Trump. “We don’t want this administration trying to do important, complicated things it doesn’t understand.” In other words, “We’re the smart people, we are the experts, and this guy Trump and his mad cabinet and his bunch of no competent fools, they got no business implementing what we believe.”
Now, stop and think of that for a minute. In a fight for the soul of America, these people are willing to sell out their ideas and abandon the objective of advancing them simply because they think the guy implementing their ideas isn’t fit to do so because he’s a boob, he’s a narcissist, he’s a pig, he’s a misogynist, whatever it is. And this is what passes for intellectual thought and application.
Imagine if this were the norm after every election. Imagine if it were permissible and laudable to oppose the implementation of the very things you believe because you believe whoever was elected isn’t qualified or sophisticated enough to handle all of these very complicated things.

It's a good day to see the back of Ben Shapiro and these other phonies hightailing it out.

Recognizing Israel? Most Pro-Life Administration? Defeating ISIS? They have nothing to do with it and struggle with being relevant.

I do not usually listen to replays of Rush's podcast, but today I did, and heard his analysis.

The paragraph you posted above, hits the proverbial nail on the head.

Calling them the "conservative intellectual Never Trumper movement," is overly generous however.

Results count, not pious self-serving pointy headed noses in the air.

Since Rush and Levin have used the term #nevertrumpers, this week, I'm still good with it too.

I vow to stop, when all name-calling by #nevertrumpers ceases.

Limbaugh continues to confirm that dumping his show and canceling my 24/7 service was the wisest choice I made last year.

They guy is a blowhard fraud of what he preached for decades, and is so far up Trump's ass as a fanboy, I don't know where he ends and Trump begins.

America truly wants a monarchy - and Limbaugh is right up there in the front, screaming like a teenage girl in front of a lead singer for a rock band.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Shapiro is fine.
He's praised Trump on these things you are mentioning.
Limbaugh was going after Jennifer Rubin in his piece, as he should.
She claims she wants things that Trump has done, then bashes him for doing it.
Cooke and others at National Review, (no Trump fans, to be sure) have also called her out on it, and have, in turn, given Trump credit.

Nah.  They’re just wannabees.  They’re minions that worship at the alter of those that actively tried and continue to try to derail Trump even to their detriment.  They come here and Polly parrot whatever the real sanctimonious morons pen.  Thankfully, there are only a very few minions here.  The vast majority have enough sense to realize they have been had whether they admit it or not.
