“The ‘neverTrumps’ are so far from ‘pure’ anything you can smell their rot miles away. “

As “pure” as the “material” arriving at the sewage treatment plant!

“Isn’t Bennett’s point that you *can’t* bring NeverTrumps around?”

Yes, that was Bill Bennett's point: we shouldn't waste our time on the NeverTrumpers. Bennett nailed them for their “moral superiority”. It was a good interview, and an effective one, given that Bennett really is/was good friends with many of these NeverTrumpers. I'm sure Bennett didn't back Trump early in the primary season, but he is putting country first and putting his own vanity aside. If some NeverTrumpers are no longer friends with Bennett, I'd bet it's they who have dumped Bennett, not the other way around.

What is REALLY stunning is to see some of these “Never-Trumpers” appearing in HILLARY COMMERCIALS!!!!!

They have totally jumped the rails and no longer have any right to call themselves “Conservatives”.

The “never Trumpers’ are a bunch of spoiled brats who take their ball and go home if their choice for ‘Captain’ doesn’t win.

There’s NOTHING superior about wanting illegals here to function as second class citizens — cheap labor. And other than the bulls*t they put out - that is their only issue.

“And they have the ‘high’ IQs,...”

Observing Trump in action, and knowing about his extreme successes in life, I’ll bet his IQ matches or exceeds what those other guys have.

"I agree with you Never-Trumpers are using “pure conservative” posing as a tribal badge — so they can associate only with elite/correct-thinking others."

Conservative Orthodoxy has been thoroughly discredited like the filthy whore she is.

And Ted Cruz is her champion.

When was the last time Levin admitted he was ‘wrong’ about anything... NEVER... When did the national review ever retract some hyperbole about anything they put in writing. NEVER... THESE people are leeches and have produced not one thing of value except to feather their own nests. Worthless.

Right on and very powerful - thanks for sharing...

“..They’re afraid he’ll get in and do a better job than they evet did.”

Yes, this is more like it. The Never-Trumpers have an agenda to protect. They have no substantial complaints about Trump himself because Trump has no political history for them to attack. They are just afraid of losing “fat cat” status with their lobbyist money sources and other schemes they have going....and unlike them, Trump does not need to lie or fill his bank account.

Bennett is a good man and a patriot. It would behoove Trump to tap him and Law Prof. Ed Meise.

Hindsight is as they say 20/20. I, back when I listened to Rush, remember him talking about the book 'Bell Curve'... What the 'Bell Curve' totally ignored was 'common sense'. It was strictly based upon man's measurement of IQ. As I have discovered, high, man measured IQ is NOT reflective of literal common sense. But the prophets and wordsmiths of so called conservatism have demonstrated they produce nothing of value and are so secluded into their own tiny world of profit they are blinded by their own self absorbed intellect. I consider it reflective in the whole 'body' of Christ, wherein the 'toe' is just as functional and rewarded as the mouth. These of 'we are superior' mentality have exposed themselves as naked worshipers of their own personal bank accounts... Ugly from within and even worse than the literal progressive sellouts that they apparently are willing to crawl into bed with.

Maybe it is the Scottish in me or even my German ancestry, who knows, but Trump speaks 'wisdom' in the short form this bunch do NOT have the capacity to comprehend... High, man measured IQs notwithstanding...

“yep and you all continually harping on it is going to bring everyone around,....... isn’t it?”

Exactly!

25 years of celebrity conservatives producing nothing more than new revenue streams for themselves, and phonies that got elected to then do jack.

The last thing they want is for Trump to expose their racket.

Who’s more insufferable, the “morally superior” or those who are being “morally superior” about the “morally superior”?

Most everybody seems to be stuck in some kind of ego game, having long been estranged from the good Lord.

celebrity conservatives

What an apt description! Well said; if that's your invention, you are great. If not, you are a good observer of present times. Thanks
