I’m with you. Was worried that Trump was a liberal Trojan horse. But in reality it was Bush that was. Romney, Ryan, McCain too.
Like David Brooks at the NYTimes
Neocon NeverTrumpers were never really conservatives. They were planted into the GOP to influence policy in certain directions, then left in a huff when it looked like Trump was not going to use them as any sort of policy gurus.
And host cruises.
Welcome to FR.
Marcus errs in saying name conservatives were mostly NTers. They didn’t like the idea of a celeb heretofore liberal as a GOP president, but only a small number became NTers once Trump’s policy initiatives became real.
But he’s correct that they are now liberal Democrats.
Some Neocons turned around into big Trump supporters, like David Horowitz.
Then again, Horowitz experienced a rude awakening of how bad the Left was, when a good friend was murdered by the Black Panthers, and he rejected the Left totally from that point.
Good comments!
I would include the ragazine, National Review as providing impotent support for the Never-Trummpers.
Most #NeverTrumps make a living being Anti-Trump. The left props them up like little b*tches.
Yeah. Horowitz turned years ago.
There is no one more sanctimonious, self-righteous and gullible than the average never Trumper
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Ronald Reagan was the candidate I voted for in the 1980 general election. I did not vote for him in the Tennessee primary, because I thought he was just an actor. But when he ran for reelection in 1984 I voted for him in the Tennessee primary and then in November in the general election.
I did the same for George W.Bush 43. I did not vote for Donald Trump in the primaries and actually had to fight with myself. I defended Ted Cruz a lot from freepers because they were against him because he was born in Canada to a natural born US citizen from Delaware. Many thought he was not eligible for the presidency. I am sure he would have been told if he had not been eligible.
I did not vote Ted Cruz but I had nothing against him. I voted for Marco Rubio, because I liked what he had to say. Many did complain because his parents came from Cuba, but he was born in Miami, which made him a natural born citizen.
Now to Donald Trump. I had to fight with myself at first because of his behavior, bot over time he made sense to me. So when it was time who to vote for in the general election as he would surely get the nomination, I decided to vote for Donald Trump, which I did. We had on March 3 our primary in Tennessee and voted for the people President Trump needs in the November election and I will vote for him again on November 2.
Aren’t you a little late?

It was a joke about not reading before posting.
I’m sure you are familiar with that phenomenon!
Is it just me or does this guy look like he could be a child molester?
Foreign nationals cannot give birth to natural born citizens.
They have children that are whatever they are, if they are born here they are awarded US citizenship, but are not naturally Americans because they are not SOLELY Americans.
He happens to be correct
I know it’s against the rules to actually read the article. You could learn something if you mistakenly did
Good read
They were political opportunists. They were never conservatives although they made all the right moves to show they were. It is doubtful they could have gotten very far in the Democratic Party given how entrenched the establishment is in that party . They chose the Republican Party because it gave them quicker access to policy making . It appears there a lot of these kind of folks in DC. I never trusted them.

I hate being the spelling Gestapo but this error pisses me off, coming from an ostensibly intelligent source.
Oh. LOL
