K Street has barely started their #NeverTrump and their way of life is under threat.

Hillary Clinton (pending the conclusion of the criminal investigations about her emails and the Clinton Foundation which linger on) may well be the Democratic nominee. As it is perfectly clear that Trump will win the Republican nomination the #NeverTrump bleats are beginning to fade. Many have realized that their arguments are ridiculous, and are more related to the diminution of their power to affect opinion than they are to substance. This week, as well, the administration gets its failures in foreign and domestic policy off the front pages as the loony press attempts to justify his public school unisex bathroom diktat and downplay overwhelming, mounting opposition to it.
A. The #NeverTrump wizards are getting some pushback from their colleagues, as the effort to mount a certainly futile third party effort goes nowhere.
If you are still on the fence about who to vote for in the general election, I’d like to highlight some facts and opinions in contrast to the #NeverTrumpers.
There’s this from an online friend “Ignatz Ratzkywatzky” in response to the claim that Trump is no “true conservative”:
He helped on Reagan's campaigns.
He endorsed McCain and Romney.
He contributed 136 times to the GOP and 86 times to Dems since 1999; exclusively GOP since 2010.
13 of his 17 five figure contributions were to the GOP; exclusively GOP since 2008.
He has stated a number of conservative opinions through the years.
He is not particularly conservative but cherry picked or simply wrong assertions are not convincing.
The amusing thing is seeing quasi-conservative neocons like Kristol, the very essence of their movement being dissatisfaction with and turning away from their Dem roots, speaking in high dudgeon and declaring anathema a quasi-conservative guy who became dissatisfied with and turned away from his Dem roots.

Ping!
The Bill Kristols and Mitt Romneys of the world are actively seeking some new status in the public’s opinion somewhere south of “indifference”. This is a laughable cadre of Southpark characters who think someone cares about them or what they think, and quite simply, nobody does.
K Street has barely started their #NeverTrump and their way of life is under threat.
You’re dead on the mark!
#NeverTrump is a creation of The Cheap Labor Express and their minions.
It’s really all about never-ending illegal alien inundation.
They will do whatever it takes to block the citizens from keeping their country.
I think Trump should appoint Mitt Romney Ambassador to Nigeria. Home of the Scam.
By a factor of 10.
That would be freaking GREAT!
Trump, from what I have heard, has a conceal-and-carry firearms permit and his son is a big-game hunter, so he has a stake in the Second Amendment.
Yep, I’ve read the same over the last couple months, he’s solid Second Amendment.
Almost any decent R is light years beyond the harridan, the socialist, and the wun.
Big Backfire.
Some possible repercussions over time........
Yet another reason for states to refuse any future federal initiative with fed/state cost sharing.
Another reason for parents to choose private school, or home school, for their children’s education.
A possible straw/camel effect as regards school vouchers.
Smart Governors will begin to plan to have the ability to say no to the Feds next time they are extorted into doing the Feds’ bidding against their will. Call it the FUnd. Could be big campaign issue.
I agree, well said.
I think 0bama has bitten off more than he can chew on this even though there are a lot of leftist Governors and school district superintendents that will go along with his ridiculous fiat.
It’s sad that every Governor won’t tell him and his lapdogs to take a hike on this, he’d fold like a cheap suit.
