NeverTrumpers Eat Humble Pie

“I’ll call Donald Trump to offer my support,” enthused former NeverTrumper Glenn Beck after readjusting his universe to the presence of the new president-elect. Was this reassuring to the Trump team? Had an entire constituency come home?
Perhaps not. Beck may have squandered his political capital long before he joined the NeverTrumpers and established a micro-niche in cyberspace. First there was the late afternoon talk show on Fox News where Beck routinely dabbled in political history and had an hour of major network time to chew on his assorted obsessions while challenging his audience to make some sense of it. He carried his sophomoric approach to radio where he and a pack of wisecracking pals would do their best interpretation of frat house conversation. So I’m sure Trump is saying, “Thank you. We’ll be in touch.”
But others are coming home – with a varying degree of enthusiasm.
The folks at the ever-petulant National Review, which sometimes seems like the Shadow Review because it’s not as conservative as it purports to be, had some humble pie to eat as well. While giving qualified acceptance of the election results, the editorial staff studiously avoided any mention of the magazine’s pre-election issue with a cover depicting an embattled Republican elephant being submerged by a Democratic blue wave.

@DCPatriot My home is in Virginia, not in Trump's lap or in the Republican party. If I had to go back, I wouldn't change my vote for McMullin. It was the right thing to do.
I said I was wrong about Trump's chances of getting elected, and if that's being humble, fine, but the only thing I'm going to eat is dinner. I'm giving Donald a chance...the people have spoken, and I'll wait to see if he gives me a reason to criticize him.
