Correct.

Never Trumpers are lower than Pond Scum. You should just call them Scum.

Bill Kristol and the rest of the never Trumpers can GTHell. They aren’t conservatives anymore than Paul Ryan was.

The fact is that nearly all conservative commentators were at some point NeverTrump.

One of my favorite political commentators, Victor Davis Hanson, was strongly opposed to the unelectable and undignified Trump until mid-2016. He is now one of Trump's strongest and most articulate supporters.

I was a pro-Cruz (then a reluctant pro-Cruz) conservative until I became a Trump supporter. I worried that long-time democrat Trump was a stealth democrat. I have never in my whole life been so happy to be wrong.

My point? We should be forgiving of those who eventually see the truth. And for those who are big-government globalists who ignore the constitution's enumerated powers? Treason is a serious issue and their betrayal of our country should be treated as serious.

They were never conservatives, but they did play them on TV.

And Jennifer Rubin. She has never done anything but attack conservatives, but the Wapo laughingly labels her as one.

He’s nobody, just like the nonentities he’s writing about. Sorry Davy, nobody cares about your sellout friends, so stop trying to apologize for them.

These people decided to join the RATs in the Deep State rather than take them on. They’re mad at Trump because he exposed them as the phonies they all are, and he took the GOP back to the grassroots voters where it belongs!

Never-Trumpers don’t actually want to do the hard and dirty work needed to advance conservatism - they just want to make impotent speeches and write impotent articles advocating conservatism while the liberals laugh at them. Then when Trump comes along and actually starts to get things done and points out their impotence, they abandon their faux-conservatism because he offends their vanity. I have more respect for committed left-wingers than I do for faux-conservatives like Max Boot, Jennifer Rubin, Jonathan Goldberg - at least the left-wingers don’t turn their backs on their stated positions because some guy they don’t personally like gets elected.

Is anyone reading the article, or is that too much to ask?

Perhaps the NeverTrumpers can help create a wing of the Democratic Party less friendly to socialism.

More of that needs to be done in the Republican Party.

They learned to accept the president’s abrasiveness.

This is a positive not a negative. What do folks want, some mealy mouthed RINO or worse, a two-faced RINO like Ryan or McCain.

Being a Never Trumper gets you on TV, in newspapers, book deals and the general love and attention of the media. But the price is much higher than just criticizing Trump. Don’t think you can still get away with espousing conservative ideas! No, you sold you soul for money and love, and along with it, sold out your principles and beliefs.

No different than McCain and Romney. Useful idiots who love the fawning attention of the media. Until an election. Then the long knives come out, and the people you thought loved you are the very ones slipping the blade between your ribs. But like a beaten dog, they come back for more.

Ditto for Mark Levin. He was against Trump in 2016 but eventually came on board and is now a big Trummp supporter.
