The political misfits known as NeverTrumpers are begging for allies ahead of next year’s presidential election—and, as usual, they aren’t looking to the Right. This collection of failed magazine editors, Iraq War propagandists, washed-up columnists, Russian collusion pimps, and losing campaign consultants have dogged Donald Trump and his supporters for three years. While some anti-Trump “conservatives” who contributed to National Review’s infamous “Against Trump” issue in early 2016 have become supporters of the president, others cannot let go—but their obstinance is less about principle and more about grift: Acting as the useful conservative idiot for the Washington Post or MSNBC

"Never Trump conservatives ... are an interesting intellectual curiosity. But as political advisers they’ve had their day,” wrote Jeet Heer in The Nation last month. “Democrats don’t need their votes.”"
Sounds like Never Trumpers are regarded by the Left as "zoo animals" to be viewed in cages and laughed at but you would never take one home with you.
As to coming home to Republicans, how can you hate someone so much that you will accept all the hated and destructive plans of the Left and their Troll chief, Hillary, just to toss him out, especially when he has delivered on so much of the agenda that you used to espouse. What kind of mind comes to that kind of accomodation? Could you ever trust or take advice from someone who thinks like this; an intellectual freak, useful idiots to the useful idiots?

FTA: 'Many NeverTrumpers have reversed their previous views on climate change, gun control, and illegal immigration to please their new Trump-hating allies on the Left—Kristol admitted in 2017 that the Trump era was bringing out his “inner” socialist, feminist and liberal.”'
This from the supposedly "principled conservatives."

Kristol and those like him think we sheep are just waiting for them to point the way.
They have a motive and an agenda and they always have. Follow the money!

I can't think of any other group of misfits and has-beens who deserve to be mocked more than THIS group of misfits and has-beens. It proves they've been poseurs all along. They never were conservative; they faked conservatism to bring conservatism down from the inside. When PDT came along, they lost it (in more ways than one), and their rage completely outed and destroyed them. Now, instead of banishing PDT to the isle of defeat, they sit alone on an island of their own making, and nobody's checking for them. Nobody wants them, and nobody cares what they think. Why? Because they're evil, duplicitous losers; that's why.

The NeverTrumpers I know are mere inches away from admitting and pledging allegiance to the Democrat Party. "NeverTrump" began as an underhanded way to help Hillary Clinton win the Oval Office, and nothing about NeverTrump motives has changed since then. Perhaps that may someday change - the day Buckley's NR and NRO issue their apologies for aiding the Clintons in 2016.

Republicans always defer to the Democrats. Never the other way around. The Democrats are in the driver's seat. It will be the same with NeverTrumpers. If the NeverTrumpers defer to the Democrats, they will be backing Communists, and nobody will defend them. This has been going on since before Trump became President, and its obvious the NeverTrumpers are fueled by hatred. There will be consequences for that kind of behavior. They will be shunned. They are already being shunned.

Booming stock market, booming economy, lowest unemployment in 60 years, eliminating stupid restrictive regulations, allies that may not like us but, now certainly respect us, enemies that are now afraid because we may actually act accordingly to aggressive moves they make, not done yet but control at the Southern border. What's not to like???

When you can't even make it as a halfway decent useful idiot, you got a problem. This band of political misfits is lost in the wind and brainwashed for good.

I wasn't really aware that Mona Charen was another of the lunatic fakes who pretended to be conservatives.
So, onto the slag heap of history along with Kristol, French, Will, Boot and more.

Love your post, #2. Almost (almost) was able NOT to fire back at a leftist
who announced (in my home) that Trump was unqualified to be President.
Should have stayed quiet and acted curious to hear her list of stupid reasons and dim reasoning.

I was a huge National Review fan for at least 25 years. But I assure you they will never get another penny from me.

Okay children, today we study the letter "K" - for Kristol, Krauthammer, Kasich, otherwise intelligent men who caught some kind of disease. Donald Trump does not play nice with other children, he even told us outright that he is not politically correct. There are others of course but the hatred is not rational, it is a mental condition. Yes, it was also caught by others who do not normally criticize the trough that fed them, Bush, two of them, Romney, caught a heavy dose. All of Hollywood, all of the democrats in Congress, even the new young freshmen, all of academia. They must have attended some event on the West Coast and been exposed to an air drop. The same aerial infection that took place over New York and New England. They can all look at real leadership and see failure. They can look at the real definition of Progress that does not fit their definition and therefore reject it. Most of our millenials, young minds are particularly fertile ground for the disease to take hold. The disease will not be cured but it will have run its course in five years or so.

We have fresh new energy in Washington with Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz. Our guys are smart, patriotic, and stand with our president and our country. The so-called Conservative fossils of yesteryear should show some courage and get over their self righteous pomposity and support our country through this political turmoil. Those who don't will now be remembered as losers and fake conservatives. Adios~

Unless you're a full-throated, dyed-in-the-wool radical nut job the Left will not parlay with you and smoke the peace pipe. They want to destroy you.
The "Never Trumpers" are a very small group similar to the Greenback Party in the mid 1870's. They might get absorbed into some other fringe but basically will just keep howling at the moon.
Unnoticed by almost everyone but on July 5th, Donald J. Trump became the 37th longest serving president passing the service of 895 days by the hapless Gerald Ford. Trump's footprint will be much bigger! Imagine what another full term could bring!
After we win in November 2020, let's start a movement to repeal the 22nd Amendment --- just to watch the Left bite itself like a rabid dog.

I agree with the NeverTrumpers.
The future belongs to centrist communism - - based on principled conservatism.
Yes - - that makes a whole lot of sense to me.

Any conservative who would side with a party that thwarts the enforcement of our immigration laws, proposes a "climate change" program that will tank our economy, wants to turn loose a large population of felons currently incarcerated, proposes to raise taxes, approves of killing viable babies, and proposes to abolish private health insurance is no conservative. For all his faults, Trump has done wonders for this country. I understand why leftists hate his guts for beating Saint Hillary, but why people who profess to be conservative are still against him is a mystery.

Time and time again Trump has outfoxed the Never Trumpers and the left completely. What is especially rewarding is that, in his wake, Trump has left the carcasses of leftists and Never Trumpers along with their their livelihoods (Think The Weekly Standard) in shambles. On the international front he projects strength and resolve, never bowing before any world leaders (Think Obama) and in the process gaining the respect of his adversaries and the world.
In all honesty, while I voted for him because the prospect of another Clinton presidency was too terrible to contemplate, I really diden't know what to expect. I initially didn't know what to make of his Tweet wars but now I realize they represent a republican fighting back against the left rather than caving to them. All in all I like what I see and can't wait to vote for him again.

I think that the NeverTrumpers are mad that they didn't get to choose the milquetoast putz that would have lost to Hillzilla. Had that happened, they could have appeared countless time on the Pravda Media Complex shows to tut-tut and shake their heads and say things like, "If a Republican were President, this situation would have been handled differently." They were denied their chances to appear on national television and show how prescient and intelligent they are.
Poor babies.

To me this verges on fantasy.
The deep-cover, Democrats who have pretended to be Republicans for so long, suddenly realize they've revealed too much and have to have a spat with their handlers to mitigate the damage of exposure. There is, in my mind, no alliance. They aren't allies, they are agents provocateur. Their whole existence is to bravely stand for American values, then cave and take the wind out of Democrat opposition with them. Look at the Recent House decision with the Green Cards? Most of our Representatives only represent themselves and their cushy Washington lifestyles.
Understand that Liberals reveal themselves by what they accuse others of doing. Because they accuse out of the experience of how THEY have succeeded. They are the crooked lyinb thieves and murderers they accuse everyone else of being.

There are two 'never' in Never-Trumpers they were 'never conservative' to begin with. Never Trumpers were always liberal and talked a good game to feed the followers who would listen to them. Now they are all outside losers with no place to go. It's bad when the radical communist left don't want you. All the never Trumpers can do is howl at the moon.

A handful of old men, in temperament if not always in age, sitting on the porch yelling "get off my grass!" at anyone who walks through the park that they don't even own. Wait until Halloween. They'll get theirs. Hah!

Unbelievably stupid people, thinking that common ground can be found with the Left, let alone that they can be trusted. Such naive proclivities amongst supposedly learned people is unfathomable.

The only thing George Will had going for him was sitting next to Sam Donaldson. That would make anyone look smart.
