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.

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.

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.

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.

Most #NeverTrumps make a living being Anti-Trump. The left props them up like little b*tches.

"I understand that NeverTrumpers will lose a good deal of cache.....

Cache - a collection of items of the same type stored in a hidden or inaccessible place.

Cachet - the state of being respected or admired; prestige.

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

the GOP is never going to return to being the party of Bush and Romney. NeverTrump dreams of expelling every drop of populism and nationalism, but that isn’t going to happen. You’d have to expel almost everyone at this point.

I'm not sure that GOPe/NeverTrump has a problem with expelling almost everyone.

The author of this piece doesn't seem terribly smart. These "NeverTrumpers" were never conservative in the first place.

They are all corporate globalist who peddle bullsh!t in the media and only pretended to be "conservative" when the GOP raised their banner as the party of open borders and endless nation-building campaigns around the world.

None of these @ssholes ever had a conservative bone in their bodies. Once a GOP candidate emerged from the crowded field in 2016 who was unapologetic about running against the Republican Party platform on issues like immigration, foreign trade, and endless wars in Third World dumps, these dopes couldn't run fast enough to support the globalist candidate in the 2016 campaign: Hillary Clinton.

This is why they're falling all over themselves to support a senile retardate in 2020, too.

Figures such as Bill Kristol, Max Boot, Tom Nichols, Jennifer Rubin, Ana Navarro, and Rick Wilson do their turns on TV creating the illusion that there is some huge constituency of anti-Trump conservatives. There is not. In fact, these people are no longer conservatives in any real sense.

The author should note that every one of these people works in the media. In other words, none of them have any real jobs that require them to maintain a degree of consistency to meet the expectations of a client or prospective customers in the general public. They're not real people. They're paid propagandists who don't hesitate to change their tunes once their globalist puppet masters tell them what to do.
