ANALYSIS/OPINION:
One by one, the #NeverTrumpers will fall, as they realize the only two people who have a shot at winning the White House are GOP nominee Donald Trump or his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Brad Thor, who has been in the #NeverTrump camp since the beginning and is a respected conservative author, came to this realization on Tuesday, throwing his support behind Mr. Trump. It wasn’t a pretty endorsement, but it was an endorsement all the same.
“Yesterday, Dr. [Hugh] Hewitt tried (yet again) to help guide America to the best (and only) option available to us. I lost a lot of sleep last night reading and then re-reading his words. I awoke this morning with a more nuanced view. Drug #1 (Hillary Clinton) will kill us — no question. Drug #2 (Donald Trump) might kill us, but it also might: A) Slow the cancer, or even B) Cure the cancer,” Mr. Thor wrote in HotAir.com, a conservative site that is part of Townhall Media.
“It’s a lot to hope for, I know, but hope is all we have left. We have exhausted every other avenue. Make no mistake — I believe one hundred percent in standing on principle. Principle, in this case though, will not cure cancer. Sadly, that crappy clinic south of the border is starting to look like our only option,” he wrote.

Thanks for your post. Reminded me of my frailty as it should everyone. We are dependent on our savior for salvation, it cannot come through ourselves.
Time to be gracious.
Welcome to the Trump Train Mr. Thor.
After eight years of this muzzie marxist, we must keep Hillary and that walking hard on Bill out of the white house.
I don't like Trump's mannerisms. The guy is a rude, obnoxious, arrogant yankee prick. There appears to be little filter between his brain and his lips.
That said, he sold me on his nationalism. Hopin he’z the real deal. No, I'm praying he’z the real deal.
“Brad Thor, who has been in the #NeverTrump camp since the beginning and is a respected conservative author”
Never heard of him. Respected by whom?
If he’s just now pulling his head out, I don’t have much regard for his acumen.
Never Trumper are fans.
They don’t realize their decision affects the whole down ticket and Imperils our lead in the house and senate.
You’re not missing much. He was a rabid NeverTrumper, one of those morally superior ones.
“Time to be gracious. Welcome to the Trump Train Mr. Thor.”
Agree, we welcome all newcomers, whatever the motives.
We will see some band wagon jumpers soon
>>Never heard of him.
Try Google or Amazon.com
Translation: my book sales are on the skids so now Im coming around to Trump. He’s a doosh and I will never buy his books again after he talked about taking Trump out with Beck the loon. I hope the little POS goes bankrupt.
You know there was a time in this country not that long ago when we DID NOT need to have a filter between our thoughts and our lips, a time when we REALLY had free speech without PC garbage, I take it you have been brainwashed by our media and government which is really to bad!!! There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with Mr. Trump speaking his mind WE should ALL be able to speak our minds freely!!!
>>Hmm, I seem to remember him chatting with Becks the Clown about the need for a patriot to kill Trump. It will not be forgotten. Screw him and his endorsement. I’m never buying another one of his books.
I’m glad he finally came around, but the things he was saying about the Trump supporters before the convention means that I will never buy another one of his books.
Is he standing on principle.....
....or feeling the effects of his previous acid statements coming back and biting him in the pocketbook?
He’s nothing to me now .........I wouldn’t one of his lousy books if you paid me!
Go away Thor.
You are no longer relevant.
You’re not missing much. He’s a Vince Flynn wannabe. His books were pretty good at first but his last 3 were lousy.
Yup. Sounds like a self-important jerk.
Good. We need every vote for Trump we can get.
The damage is done Mr Thor. And you did it.
Although you might not be recognized as thee lynchpin in the main event, you were a lynchpin no less.
So now, Mr Thor, if you were to go to your buddy, Glenn Schmeck, and confront him about his mental state, meybe you might gain some of your former self back.
Brad Thor doesn’t hold a candle to Matt Bracken.
Thanks for your ringing endorsement!
We are still not going to buy any more of his books.
