 2020 Is The Year NeverTrump Finally Admitted They’re NeverRepublican

What began as a self-righteous crusade to supposedly save the Republican Party from Donald Trump has now morphed into an explicit enterprise for personal profit.

Of all the grifters on which 2020 has blown cover, NeverTrumpers stand at the top.

What began as a self-righteous crusade to supposedly save the Republican Party from Donald Trump has morphed into an explicit enterprise exposing who they were all along: financial opportunists capitalizing on media-fomented Trump Derangement Syndrome for personal profit while masquerading as white knight Republicans.

More than any other culprit — the Bulwarks, The Dispatches, the legacy papers promoting ex-GOP columnists as “conservative” — the vile con artists at the Lincoln Project reveal the left-wing campaign purportedly about preserving old-school conservatism has nothing to do with conservatism. The fall confirmation battle following the death of liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a prime illustration.

After decades of leftist judges legislating from their benches, the appointment of new Supreme Court justices adhering to a strict interpretation of the Constitution gave conservatives their best chance to cement substantive change for decades. President Trump eased initial skepticism from genuine conservatives by releasing a list of potential names to fill the vacant seat left by conservative Justice Antonin Scalia during the 2016 campaign. That skepticism faded further when the president kept his word, nominating two conservative jurors and then Amy Coney Barrett.

The opening Justice Ginsburg left gave conservatives a rare opportunity to tip the balance of the court ruled for a generation by leftist justices. Twenty-four hours after Ginsburg’s passing, however, the Lincoln Project released a statement slamming the idea that the president and the Senate discharge their constitutional duty in a unified government to fill the seat.

The big self-revelatory clue to what these "Moderates" really are is that they fight conservatives more readily and harder than they fight Dems (if they fight Dems at all). This is ~3 decades of California Republican Party reality.

Country Clubs are bastions of pragmatism aimed at maintaining one's own social position.  Far better, and easier, to be a somebody in a party that regularly forfeits than a nobody in a party that actually fights.

Remember back years ago when it was asked that forum members not use the term, "RINO" ???

I do. And nevertheless spoke it out -- even back then.
