The "NeverTrump" Republicans are the very Republicans who created the conditions so dreadful that I was forced to turn to a former reality TV show host to correct their errors.

They still, among other things:
-Attack Trump for being a DemocRAT and a LIEbrul for opposing Iraq.
-Still oppose gay marriage and claim Trump isn't a true Christian.
-Claim that overrated dead people (IE, Reagan) would be "disgusted" with Trump, as if the GOP base actually believes the Reagan myth still.
-Totally went along with the Tea Party until Trump hijacked it back from them, in which they then turned on their own base. See Rick Wilson's Twitter for exhibit A of establishment arrogance.

A lot of them are pathetic hypocrites, who wants to convince us that everything was warm and fuzzy until their "reasonable" party was "hijacked" by Trump. In fact Trump GOP is a logical consequence of the direction the party was going for years. Most of conservative NeverTrumpsters opposes him not because of ideology but because he's not a part of their club.
This lol.

Trump is probably more moderate than most of them.
Trump is not a conservative he is just a racist , egoistic, dumb, demogaue
Do NeverTrumpers have anything but ad-hominem attacks?
What else can we do? He doesn't have a record we can attack, and he's taken so many positions under the Sun that every time we hit one of them, his cultists will bring up the time he said the exact opposite.
Like you all have such a better record Roll Eyes

A refresher on what happened under the non-Trump GOP.
-The worst recession since the 1930s.
-A war based on a lie.
-9/11.
-Bin Laden staying alive for ten years too long.
-Civil liberties totally falling off the face of the earth.
-Gay rights being denied because muh traditional marriage.

The NeverTrump Republicans are the very people responsible for conservatism degenerating from an ideology to a lifestyle, and they must bare the blame for things getting so bad that we turned to Trump to correct their mess.

I am more socially conservative than ChairmanSanchez and would've preferred a different GOP nominee, but he's largely right.  The GOP had a lot of problems before Trump came to the scene.  While I do like George W. Bush personally, his Iraq policy was a disaster and it's hard to forgive him for the hand his administration had in fueling the housing bubble and overlooking potential problems.  The party needed a reboot - I wish it weren't Trump doing that, but something needed to be done. 
Well of course, I agree that while I embrace aspects of Trumpism (a more populist economic policy while remaining pro-market, less focus on social issues, a non-interventionist/America First foreign policy, having an actual border policy, etc), I never wanted a loudmouthed reality TV host being the frontman for it. That being said, if he can throw the old guard out, which he mostly has, then I consider this election to be a victory for me no matter what happens in November.

As far as my personal goals go, this election was won in Indiana. Afterwards anything more is just icing on the cake, and God knows that too much icing on a cake can make a stomach upset Tongue.
