Instead of admitting they were wrong about President Donald Trump, the #NeverTrump nitwit brigade is doubling down on stupid. Is it simply that they are too stubborn to acknowledge that despite their misgivings during campaign season, Trump is turning out to be the president they have been writing, lecturing, and think-tanking about for their entire careers?

Seems to me that half of the active imposters on Free Republic are NeverTrump.
The media puts them on, but they don’t have careers anymore. They’re not conservatives.
Would you be so kind as to provide for me a working definition of Never Trumper? I've asked before and didn't get much more than vitriol. But, hope springs eternal so I'll ask again.
“Seems to me that half of the active imposters on Free Republic are NeverTrump.”
Depending on the issue, you may have underestimated the %.
One recently called Trump a communist.
The only thing more contemptible than a NeverTrumper in 2016 where he had real promise of shaking things up in DC, is a TrumpWorshipper in 2019. Don’t we all remember how we did that with the Bushes? These are HUMANS with many many flaws. Plus, three years later, we learn that one president no matter what his intentions are cannot beat the swamp alone.
The NeverTrumpers are members of the Globalist Elite who were onboard with ceding our country slowly to a global power. The elites believe THEY will be safe in a Clinton/Bush-directed super-centralized world order and Trump has come along and gummed up the works. Hillary would have sent these people marching closer to their goals and Trump with his nationalist policies is anti-globalist. This is why they detest him.
Please read the article. It defines them quite well.
NeverTrumpers are a bunch of lazy do nothings but carp and itch. They sure can ‘write’ purty, which tickles the ears of the scorpion bit high minded Intelligentsia.
I did
It defines them
No, it doesn't. The author points out a few individuals and criticizes them, but he doesn't define the term.
NeverTrumper: media pundit who purported for decades to represent the conservative position on all issues but who hates Donald Trump so much he/she can never admit Trump has advanced actual conservatism more in three years than he/she ever did in his/her sorry career.
But you knew that.
I am not sure what point you are trying to make.
The term kind of defines itself... someone pretending to be a conservative who has vowed to never support Mr. Trump as President. This has been going on since before the election and apparently you are trying to pretend that you do not know what it means? But the article is slightly off base because a large number of people actually did eventually change their tunes. Is that your objection?
So, to qualify as being a Never Trumper, one has to have been a member of the broadcast media for over 20 years?
“One recently called Trump a communist.”
StoneWall Brigade - zotted, RiP.
It really is basic human nature. Some people can NEVER admit they’re wrong. About anything. We all know people like that. Mostly liberal people.
The ONLY 'lifelong beliefs' men like Bill Kristol, Max Book, George Will and Jonah Goldberg etc had was a 'belief' in their cushy DC sinecures. Phony to the bone... opportunists who rode 'conservatism' to the benefit of their high lifestyles. NeverTrumpers are as corrupt as liberal 'elites' - but without the charm... a pox on their houses.
Thanks for the news!
That it's an all purpose political slur with no fixed meaning beyond what the user want's it to mean at the moment.

I voted for the guy and will again and I get called it all the time, so that can't be it.
OK, I get where you are coming from. Most of the time people are referring to a Bush, a Romney, a McCain, or someone along those lines. I have known many that fit into that category, but trying to smear others who you disagree with using that term is inapropriate.
