#NeverTrump GOP endorsements LATEST: Graham and Lee voted McMullin

I'm on board with #NeverTrump.

As a Republican leaning independent, I fully support Hillary for president, for no reason other than Trump is a racist and a demagogue and I cannot morally support him.

Friend, you're tearing up my heart, just like you're tearing up the Republican Party.

Never Trump renegades have no political future.

Particularly if Trump wins.

Ljube, what happened to all the #NeverTrump Republican politicians who were supposed to "come home" in the end, according to what you were saying months ago?  Very few of them have done so.  The #NeverTrump list in the OP of this thread is longer than it was six months ago! 

Yeah.

Well, don't you think they are coming home? At least rank and file Never Trump Republicans?

What else could be fueling the Trump surge in the home stretch?

I’m not talking about rank and file (though most polls still have Trump doing notably worse among Republicans than Romney did).  I’m talking about #NeverTrump Republicans in Congress.  Remember this exchange?:

Unlike with the PUMAs, there are way too many high profile Republicans (both politicians and conservative media types) who've thrown in their lot with #NeverTrump for all of them to backtrack now.  There is no going back.

For that matter, I think #NeverTrump will grow among Republicans in Congress after Trump is nominated.  As of now, many of them have simply dodged the question as to whether they would endorse him if he's nominated.  But once he is nominated, it's no longer a hypothetical.  They'll have to choose.

There you go again.

Sometimes it seems like you live on another planet.
Perhaps you are just playing with us, Trump supporters.

It's just not happening in the real world. Can you give an example of anything remotely similar to what you're saying happening anywhere in the world ever?

I said that the number of #NeverTrump Republicans in Congress would grow rather than shrink after Trump was nominated.  You said that such a statement made it seem like I “live on another planet”.  You also said "It's just not happening in the real world."  Well guess what?  I was right. 

And then when I called you out on this months later, you kept saying that there was still time for them to change their minds.  We have less than a week now.  You really think all those #NeverTrump Republican politicians are going to fold now?

Some of them have already caved, but you are right, there will be renegade holdouts.

Their political future is sealed, so it's their choice.

I assumed politicians were reasonable, but I guess I was wrong.

Incidentally, I think Heller and Toomey are the only remaining Senators who have not yet publicly stated if they'll vote for Trump or not.  Heller did say he was "99% sure" he wasn't voting Trump, but I guess that's not quite 100.  Toomey OTOH really doesn't want to talk about it.

So those two are at least possible no's, and then you have 12 sitting Republican Senators who say they're not voting for Trump.  The remaining GOP Senators are all backing Trump.

Publicly declared Never Trump renegades that remain in office after Nov-8 will be primaried for their treachery.
