Thanks, NeverTrumpers. Are You Happy Now?
By Brian C. Joondeph

NeverTrump Republicans have been rabidly obsessed since 2015 to prevent Donald Trump’s nomination, election, and having failed, to join the left in nonstop criticism and condemnation of President Trump. They may be succeeding, but to what end? As they look around at the current political landscape, are they truly happy with the direction of the country? Or is that irrelevant, as long as they can strut around on their high horse, feeling smug, telling each other “I told you so”?

The NeverTrump movement began shortly after Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency. So-called “principled Republicans” were incensed that a loud-mouth from Queens, a TV reality star, a host of beauty pageants, someone never before elected to public office, should challenge the Republican establishment orthodoxy.

His tweets and straight talk were unacceptable. Calling out the media and his political opponents ran against the grain of how they thought Republicans should handle themselves in a presidential campaign. Trump did not follow the proper and acceptable savoir faire of John McCain or Mitt Romney, two prominent NeverTrumpers. The fact that both lost their elections to an easily defeatable far-left candidate who damaged the country badly during his eight-year reign of “fundamentally transforming America” seems to be lost on Trump’s GOP critics.

The NeverTrump names are familiar. Aside from the two noted above, there are others, all one-time Republicans, although their conservative beliefs have been tossed out the window over political expediency or ego. George Will, Max Boot, Steve Schmidt, Bret Stephens, Jennifer Rubin, and anyone with the last name of Bush. There are many in Congress too – Paul Ryan, Jeff Flake, Ben Sasse, Bob Corker, and others.

Why people work together is because they have a shared framework of principles and values.
That is obviously not the case anymore wrt Republicans and Conservatives.

And the customer is always right.
It is not my fault that you don't offer what I need.
So I vote with my feet.

Rather than being pissed for losing, maybe you should figure out how to win.

Reasonable judges, a riproaring economy, trade deals reworked more in our favor, reinvigorated military, and at least an ATTEMPT at enhanced border security aren't what you need. Got it.

   Imagine my disdain when the likes of bill kristol is propped up as a leader in the 'so called' Never movement it's as dubios as people trying to associate david duke (whom I regretfully campaigned for against Edwards) as having close ties with Trump.
   As one Briefer so astutely repeats, it's time for Trump to expand his base by making inroads to the Independents.

All duly noted and credited to President Trump and the GOP Congress.   

But the GOP Congress has not been rewarded for all this,  because the President insisted the midterm elections be a referendum on him.   We are now facing two years of investigations and obstruction by a radicalized and energized Democratic party.     

The question is what to do going forward. Why not listen to what the "NeverTrumpers" have to say,  and recalibrate things so we can recover and win again in 2020?   They have a point, you know, that the President IS polarizing, and now we have empirical evidence that such polarization loses elections, notwithstanding a robust and growing economy and record-low unemployment.   

What do we do now in response?   That is the only relevant question, and it seems to me that all Republicans of good will,  both the NeverTrumpers and those who feel there is no GOP without Trump,  need to be encouraged to sit at the table and discuss how to recover from this month's debacle.    It shouldn't matter how we all felt about Trump in 2016.  He has a track record now, both of real policy successes and a frustrating inability or unwillingness to grow the coalition that elected him.   The stakes are high, because a side-effect of the "resistance" has been the emergence of Democrats advocating true socialism and disrespect for the Constitution.   It is crucial that we stop this in its tracks - and only unity based on shared values and a willingness, when necessary,  to be self-critical will work.   

We don't need anger that blinds us to Trump's accomplishments, nor do we need purges rooted in cults of personality.    We need clear vision and a willingness to ask tough questions and draw uncomfortable but necessary conclusions.

Actually, I want my doctor back. We had a riproaring economy during the Obama years, in spite of the government, we just got a pipeline finished thanks to Trump and a few rules thrown out, but even those rules would have created jobs to comply or evade them.. Trade deals didn't hurt us, and there are still caravans coming in.

And Hillary's ass is still not behind bars. etc.

Now I don't so much blame Trump for the bad as the GOP, after all they'll still porking the pigs they have been, and getting about the same done otherwise, which just might have been why they lost some seats. If the only way to clean house is to get rid of the dead weight and let the seat go over to the other side for a term, so be it. Primary challenges are generally ineffective against entrenched incumbents, and the party response to complaint has generally been the arrogant attitude of "where else are you going to go?". The GOP has reaped the benefit of that smugness, at a time when there are the Senate and the White House to stop Democrats from making policy for a couple of years.

Best to quit finger pointing and consolidate its Conservative feces for 2020, because anything less will not reap any rewards.

Hell Yes they are happy! The NeverTrumper were crowing the day after the election. They were as giddy as a 5 year old on Christmas morning. Could barely contain their glee. It was a spectacle to watch. Oh! But don't ever say that they are Liberals. Just because the speak like Liberals, vote like Liberals, and celebrate with Liberals, does not mean that they are Liberals.

Well, I'm a creature of habit and will just return back to lurk mode.

This essay perfectly portrays my POV toward NTs in general. 

Not exclusive to Briefer NTs.  Honest truth, I haven't read any of their posts for months.   

Unlike streaming a good Netflix series, you don't miss a thing here.

Not true.

I've been politically 'aware' since the Carter to Reagan era.

He was hated too.  But this is different.  This scares the shit out of me.

I'm predicting right here that SCOTUS nominees and judges appointments are going to come at a great personal cost to them as individuals and for us as a nation.

For it's the ONLY thing that separates THEM from us.   They've 'won' everywhere else.  Academia.  Hollywood.

The people end up getting the government they deserve.

You missed the intent of this comment completely.

The point is not to ridicule Trump or his most die hard supporters. It is the concept that he (and supporters too for that matter) can rightfully point to a great economy as a trophy in this political battle. 

The problem is, is that sword cuts both ways.  If we get into a 20+% correction, and the subsequent economic dominoes fall......   How does Trump and hard core minions fare?  And if you are honest with yourself, you know that answer.

Indeed.
Additionally the R Fan Club simply refuses to accept that the
GOP is not and never was a Party of Conservative Principle.
Not for a day, as two matters resonate loud and clear:
* The GOP was politically ascendant from Lincoln till Hoover
in 1932, some 75 years; controlling the WH, Congress and
most critically, appointments to SCOTUS. It was there that
strong centralized government was enshrined as our reigning
political structure and States Rights abandoned.
* The GOP began around 1850 as the errand boy for the Northern
Mercantile Class, later the Industrial Class and now our Corporate Class.
All through their ascendancy they were militant protectionists.
At the Turn of the century, Moron McKinley insisted that Free Trade was
an insidious disease that must be eradicated as it would destroy our
"infant  industries" like U.S Steel and Standard Oil, I suppose.
During their ascendancy the GOP enacted more than 100 Duties,
Excises and Tariffs on imports particularly from Britain and Germany!
There are other issues but these two suffice to correctly label the GOP
for what it has always been; a gaggle of progressive frauds and hustlers.

Thanks, NeverTrumpers. Are You Happy Now?
By Brian C. Joondeph
John McCain or Mitt Romney, two prominent NeverTrumpers.

The NeverTrump names are familiar. Aside from the two noted above

Another article that DC tries to broad brush paint over the folks here at TBR that are also NeverTrumpers (myself included). The people mentioned in the story were never truly conservative and have no bearing on most of us here at the Brief. Two ends of the spectrum, the article NeverTrumpers are somewhat liberal but just slightly more liberal than Trump, those TBR folks here are mostly far to the right of both Trump and the RINOs depicted. It is unfortunate that we share the same nickname "NTs".... but that seems to be the light most articles now days tend to harp upon.

What is more troubling to me is that those of us that are true conservatives usually with some moral backbone thrown in, are so irrelevant that we don't even get articles written about us. The only ones worth blaming in print now days seems to be leftist Nevertrumpers. Perhaps because there is so very few real conservatives left in Congress with any fire in their bellies.

For me personally, it is laughable to compare me (and a few here at TBR) to McCain, Bush, or Romney. Two of which I didn't even vote for because I was Never Romney and Never McCain also. Had I had the maturity at the time I would of been Never Bush also. Want my vote, prove you are a core conservative and at least don't spit at Christian values of protecting life and Christian values (freedom to not bake a dang cake with sodomy scribbling across the top of it).

Now let me determine what "not exclusive" means...

Not - A logical operator that returns a false value if the operand is true and a true value if the operand is false.

Exclusive -  Excluding or tending to exclude

Seems to me you made dang sure to include us... then pointed out how much disdain you had for us.

A sickening realization that maybe my own nieces nephews and grandchildren are being indoctrinated right now.   Like living the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Invasion with that Aussie redhead.

Concentrated more on my personal health and needs.

I picked this out because it was at the top of American Thinker, which I post here frequently.

Thanks, NeverTrumpers. Are You Happy Now?
By Brian C. Joondeph

NeverTrump Republicans have been rabidly obsessed since 2015 to prevent Donald Trump’s nomination, election, and having failed, to join the left in nonstop criticism and condemnation of President Trump. They may be succeeding, but to what end? As they look around at the current political landscape, are they truly happy with the direction of the country? Or is that irrelevant, as long as they can strut around on their high horse, feeling smug, telling each other “I told you so”?

The NeverTrump movement began shortly after Trump announced his candidacy for the presidency. So-called “principled Republicans” were incensed that a loud-mouth from Queens, a TV reality star, a host of beauty pageants, someone never before elected to public office, should challenge the Republican establishment orthodoxy.

His tweets and straight talk were unacceptable. Calling out the media and his political opponents ran against the grain of how they thought Republicans should handle themselves in a presidential campaign. Trump did not follow the proper and acceptable savoir faire of John McCain or Mitt Romney, two prominent NeverTrumpers. The fact that both lost their elections to an easily defeatable far-left candidate who damaged the country badly during his eight-year reign of “fundamentally transforming America” seems to be lost on Trump’s GOP critics.

The NeverTrump names are familiar. Aside from the two noted above, there are others, all one-time Republicans, although their conservative beliefs have been tossed out the window over political expediency or ego. George Will, Max Boot, Steve Schmidt, Bret Stephens, Jennifer Rubin, and anyone with the last name of Bush. There are many in Congress too – Paul Ryan, Jeff Flake, Ben Sasse, Bob Corker, and others.

@DCPatriot  This is such horsesh!t.  The reason we lost these elections (and are continuing to let recounts go unchallenged) is because grass roots Conservatives who in the past have fought these battles for the GOP were effectively eradicated through the 2016 Convention process.  And in every single solitary battle that was fought between the GOP Establishment and the Conservative Grass Roots, Candidate Donald Trump sided with the GOP Establishment.

So fast forward to 2018.  At a time when we need people on the ground fighting for local House seats, the ones who do that heavy lifting - the same ones responsible for taking back control of the House in 2010 - were sent packing two years ago as Trump delegates voted to place all power in the hands of Reince Priebus and his buddies at GOPE-Central.  Yet you want to blame the #NT boogeyman for this?  Stop with the lies already.  This has nothing to do with Never-Trumpers.  It has everything to do with the inability of local candidates to find political support at home as a National Party stands idly by - holding absolute power at the national level while completely powerless to help at the local level.

Heck, even my own district fell to a Democrat because the Republican who swore allegiance to the National Party had zero support at home from Conservatives who were rendered powerless two years ago.

Maybe, just maybe if you were willing to get on board to drain the swamp instead of getting on board with the politician who has consolidated more power to the swamp than any other politician in history, then maybe we can get back to standing for something as a Party (i.e. cutting spending, reducing the deficit, not giving out free shit, flat taxes, free commerce, defunding taxpayer-funded abortion, etc.)  Do that, and people will have something to get passionate about.  Do that, and people will have a reason to vote GOP.  Because right now, I can't come up with a single one.

What a crock of crap. Turn in your Swami card. The fact is that we have members here who aren't going to let a bunch or 'win at any cost' moderates run off with the title of "Conservative".
As far as being a "Never Trump Republican", well, I'm not. I'm an American looking for a Party which holds the same values I do, and who does what they say they will instead finger pointing and whining like little babies and making excuses to not perform.  Because they aren't getting the job done. They haven't gotten the job done, they just make excuses, stall until they have new excuses, and eff the voters, devil take the hindmost, go lie again to get reelected.

Maybe if the GOP would quit acting like a bunch of whiny-assed Democrats sliding to the Left chasing communist votes, and get back on the Right, they would get a dime from me again--but they won't until that happens.

I didn't post this to create dissent.   That happens.

It's why this thread is over 100 posts already.

If you say so. If that's true, seems odd it's a common theme for the articles you post.

I might be interested in that job. What does it pay? Do you get vacation? I'd need lot's of flex time because I have a sick Guinea Pig with vertigo that needs lots of attention. I would also need full medical.......for the pig. Those vet bills are brutal. Oh, and I would need a new laptop provided. I have mine tied up with my Etsy Macrame Owl business. If anyone is interested in an Owl PM me. They start at $49.99. I can make them in any color. Back to the Mod job....is it full time or part? I got that pig problem like I said.

Anyhoo let me know.  BTW here is one of the owls I made last week...it can hold a cactus in the bottom!!!!

It's hard to believe that this shit's still going on, two years into the Trump administration.

There were few bigger NeverTrumpers than me, but when the shit hit the fan I pulled the lever for him. With the remaining choices being Clinton or irrelevancy, I chose to cast a relevant vote.

Here's what baffles me...

Why are we taking about "NeverTrumpers" anyway?

Trump happened, which makes the "Never" part demonstrably obsolete.

I'm actually very satisfied with both my decision to throw what I thought was my neolibertarian/logical political bona fides to the wind, and (most) of the Trump Presidency to date.

Yeah... sometimes I wish someone would cancel his Twitter account, but that would take away the unique experience of watching a President that really doesn't give a damn about what politicians and the "Press" think of him. And I've grown to really like that.

So, as far as Trump is concerned, I'm in for the next six years.

We did the same, albeit no retirement in sight. The Missus says that I can't retire yet. I have to either be sold or traded for cattle.

I left my beloved Miami behind and moved to the woods.

I'm in Central Florida now. Solid red part of the State with bass and gators in the pond, deer and bobcats in the woods, and more quiet that I can stand sometimes.

Phoenix has gotten too liberal lately.  I'm headed for a Red Zone too.  In the hills above Bullhead City, which is across the river from Laughlin, NV.  Looking forward to some quiet, too.  I've heard tell you can see the stars at night there.

You missed the intent of this comment completely.

The point is not to ridicule Trump or his most die hard supporters. It is the concept that he (and supporters too for that matter) can rightfully point to a great economy as a trophy in this political battle. 

The problem is, is that sword cuts both ways.  If we get into a 20+% correction, and the subsequent economic dominoes fall......   How does Trump and hard core minions fare?  And if you are honest with yourself, you know that answer.

No, I get your point very clearly; Continued ridicule of Trump and his supporters; in keeping with the dominant narrative on this forum, since Spring 20016.

You can see them. I've been to Laughlin a few times and enjoyed looking across the river from there. When the night is clear the stars are almost like a light show.

It's hard to believe that this shit's still going on, two years into the Trump administration.

There were few bigger NeverTrumpers than me, but when the shit hit the fan I pulled the lever for him. With the remaining choices being Clinton or irrelevancy, I chose to cast a relevant vote.

Here's what baffles me...

Why are we taking about "NeverTrumpers" anyway?

Trump happened, which makes the "Never" part demonstrably obsolete.

I'm actually very satisfied with both my decision to throw what I thought was my neolibertarian/logical political bona fides to the wind, and (most) of the Trump Presidency to date.

Yeah... sometimes I wish someone would cancel his Twitter account, but that would take away the unique experience of watching a President that really doesn't give a damn about what politicians and the "Press" think of him. And I've grown to really like that.

So, as far as Trump is concerned, I'm in for the next six years.

Good to 'see' you, @Luis Gonzalez !   Displaying good pragmatism, as usual.

I had actually stopped engaging those still opposed to the President.  "Never Trumpers" in that context.  @Bigun is correct.  It's beyond boring.

The term is contained in the title.

Why are we talking about NeverTrumpers?!  Why, to start another flame war on the forum, of course.  Just like I said 4 pages ago.  And apparently to whine about winning, which is the part that baffles me.  But, I've heard about the kind of people that just can't be happy with their lives and have to cause drama, so maybe...

Their mantra is if you do not support what Donald Trump does 100% , 100% of the time you are a NT , a democrat, a liberal, and an overall bad person.   In my case in voting 43 years, I have never once voted for a democrat, so I am really puzzled when I am called one.

No one....not even Reagan was right 100% of the time.   Their blind support for DJT without any dissension   really drives home their lack of sound objectivity in their political analysis.  I guess they're too blind to recognize it.

Point is, that there are a few here, who do not have the ability to give any criticism to Trump.  They need to be called out for their lack of objectivity, and quit the attacks on us who are.

It's an essay about how the narcissistic obsessed self-declared Never Trumpers in and around the country should be held to account for us losing the House.

Trump spends like a rat.  He lies like a rat.  He protects RINOs like a rat.  He loves commie tyrants (Putin, Un) like a rat.  He abuses women like a rat.  He disingenuously prays like a rat.  He has no guiding philosophy like a rat. 

and even though Trump has no tangible redeeming qualities, he is still superior to to his cult supporters in so many ways, because IMHO he recognizes he is recognized as a big fat senile lying Golfer-In-Cheif...but his enablers still have no clue.

except @DCPatriot who knew Trump would never Repeal and Replace Obamacare, Lock up Hitlery, Build a Wall, Drain the Swamp, Eliminate the Deficit in 8 years, or Make America Great Again...

sorry if that sounds like liberal whining to culters.

from day one...you were right DC.

As DC said, I'm a pragmatist.

Had Hillary won all those things you listed would have remained the same.

I can't envision Hillary pushing back on Putin.

He abuses women?

I believe that women made themselves available to him because of his wealth and playboy lifestyle.

I think his guiding philosophy is "country over political philosophy" or simply stated "do what's right", and I rather like that.

My business is good and expanding and employment opportunities for my collegiate kids are good.

Trump's personal qualities "neither picks my pockets nor breaks my legs" but his style of governance fattens my purse.

To argue that Trump "never" would do things shortens "never" by a quite a measure. What he would never do can only be  assessed when he's done governing.

He's got some time yet.

Chill out.

I’d like to offer an observation that I believe is mostly true:

Positive articles/threads about Trump are quickly trashed with inanities by our resident NT’s and quickly fall apart, while negative articles/threads about Trump are mostly ignored by AT’s (because we got better things to do than offer entertainment for losers). And yet like the energizer bunny – those threads just keep going and going and going.

However, lately I’ve noticed a positive change here among our virtue signalers. Seems that some no longer feel it necessary to add a qualifier to the start of an agree-with-Trump-post by saying something like, “while I still don’t like his tweets, his language, his hair, his small hands, his NY liberalism... Trump is right about...etc.”

I guess post-midterm passive-aggressive is no longer fashionable.

Jeez, that's a lot of "narcissistic never trumpers". Do you guys see them in the shadows, under the bed, in the closet or that dark corner of the garage?

 :silly:

The candidates who lost house seats lost them on their own merits, through fraud by the other side, or likely a combination of the two. No one is entitled to anyone's vote, they have to earn it, either by actually having a track record of worthy accomplishments or by providing reason to believe they will have if elected.
If incumbents failed to pull that out of heir hats, if they didn't bother to expend the resources needed to campaign as well as their opponents, if they failed to do the jobs they were sent to DC to do, well, that ain't on nobody but them

It doesn't matter whether the NTs are happy, does it?  Their doomesday scenario came to pass, albeit in slow motion.  You all watched Trump's press conference.  Do we have any reason to believe 2020 will be different from last week?

I think the fellow in your avatar might make a fine Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Yeah .....   Like a magician's act.  When McCain died, Graham's testicles magically appeared.

And, Graham is weak and suggestible if he was so easily influenced.

That he could be influenced at all is a bit of a black mark, true.

What's your stance on pantyhose?  Depending on your answer I will tell you.

I think it was clearly stated when I was running for Ambassador that I am wholeheartedly AGAINST pantyhose. My opponent was for. They lost on just that issue.

I was actually worried it might bring on a post about some kind of weird kink, so there's that.

I feel a thread coming on...
