Mark Levin has written/spoken a more convincing set of words, calling lingering #nevertrumps to account.
I listen to Mark Levin fairly often. On Monday night he was attempting to do just what you describe.
(If you hate Mark Levin and don't view him as an intelligent, experienced, constitutionally literate, conservative voice, then skip the rest of this post! lol)
Otherwise, on Monday evening (over a couple of segments before and after he played extensive segments of the President's national security speech), he said essentially:
- if you are any kind of conservative... Reagan conservative, constitutional conservative, whatever flavor of conservative, you should be very pleased with what this President has accomplished in his first year, his first year has to be viewed as a smashing success for conservatives of any stripe.
- When you look at what this man has been accomplishing, what his policies are... of which I agree with what, 85-90% at this point... this man needs our SUPPORT.... I would like to enourage the people at the Weekly Standard, National Review, WSJ, and these other Never Trump bastions (with some exceptions at each).... think this through with a Sober Mind.... we NEED this man... you see what he is doing in national security, you see that he is trying to build up national defense, you see that he is trying to secure our nation-state... you see what he is doing with the judiciary.... you see what he is doing with the economy..... WAKE THE HELL UP!!!! WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!
(the above is my recollection, not a verbatim transcript)
there is an audio file in this article that contains parts of Monday evening's show:
