What do you care?

You’re a liberal pro abort.

“He wasn’t a never Trumper. His concerns were about Trump keeping his word on abortion.”

It’s a distinction without a difference.

You could have principled objections to Trump during the primaries and not be a “Never Trumper”. I did. A lot of people did.

However, when it was down to Trump vs. Hillary, if you decided that you couldn’t vote for Trump, you were telling everyone that you actually preferred Hillary for President. That made you, for all intents and purposes, a “Never Trumper”.

I think it’s a bad idea for Democrats to procreate. We feed, they breed.

Why should I bother to read about how some Never Trumper was wrong?

I suppose God won't listen when you repent your sins.

One amazing thing I’ve noticed: the correlation between being pro-life and being solid on almost every other issue is extraordinary.

I don’t know but I suppose it’s because you have to be an independent thinker and have backbone to defend life these days, those characteristics help you navigate most other issues pretty well.

Because it’s a good model for FReepers who will turn out to have been wrong about a lot of stuff.

When did that become an irreversible trait? He recognized his earlier mistake and is now on our side, isn't that what matters?

His pro-life stand was the final factor in my decision to support him.

I was for him before that because he was not a career politician, but during the third debate when he made that clear commitment to the pro-life position, that did it for me.

Additionally, the economy was doing well, judges are being appointed, the wall if being built, he called for a national day of prayer for the corona virus outbreak, and he’s very pro-Israel.

Well, there’s enough there for me to support him again. So no, I’m not a single issue voter. He’s done enough that I’d support him over any dem liberal commie any day of the week without giving it as second thought.

> “Like many Americans, Donald Trump’s public persona often grates on me.”

This is a programmed mantra of weak self-declared Republicans. When challenged on such assertions, they struggle to make a case.

Trump’s general transparency includes his locker room expressions and emotionally justified language that Americans understand and identify with. Those arrogant asses looking down their noses at the American electorate think of themselves too highly and are forced eventually to admit their mistakes as this never-trumper has done.

Yes, Trump is pro-life, the most pro-life President in our lifetimes. Yes, he’s conservative. Yes, he’s honest. We don’t care if he acts like a baseball manager in the dugout muttering expletives at an empire who can’t call it right. He’s real to us, he has grit and we’re not going to let effeminate tongue twisters and shrill harridans dominate our social dialog.

If a politician doesn’t protect the life of a baby what makes you think they give a rats behind about anything you want?

So there was Trump who said he would defend the unborn and Hilary who was openly open-abortion and said she would see that nothing ever would limit abortions. And since he wasn’t sure Trump was telling the truth he allowed Hilary to seek election without his own opposition. Yeah, that makes sense.

That’s the sort of “principled stand” that helps the RATs every time.

This single issue crap is a disease. Yeah. Trump wasn’t particularly pro-2nd amendment either. So gun owners should have let Hilary run without their opposition even though she promised strict gun control.

Morons.

...couldn't vote for Trump in 2016, needed 100% proof that Trump would be prolife, therefore gave half a vote to Hillary, sounds smart.

You jest, of course, since Hillary was known to be 100% pro-abortion.

This type of voter needs to learn that when it comes to voting for the lesser of what they calculate is two evils, it is in their personal best interest and that of those they care for to vote against the candidate that is most likely to cause the greater damage to our country.

I’ve seen this with a lot of Christians. They could never vote for someone like Trump who is so rude, divisive, the whole litany. The problem being that they get their news and analysis from the alphabet networks and don’t see the depravity of the people he is up against.

The point of this article is that a lot of these people have started to come around. They’ve seen that he is solid. He keeps his word. They’ve seen the accusations against him come to nothing. And at some point they do figure out that his enemies are really bad people. Most “never Trumpers”, especially those of a religious persuasion, have come around. The well known “never Trumpers” I always suspect of being bought and paid for, and they aren’t going to come around, and you couldn’t trust them if they did.
