The Democratic debates have been hard on Never Trumpers. The small but vocal group of Republicans and former Republicans who oppose President Trump has watched in horror as Democrats veered leftward, embracing "Medicare-for-all," virtually open borders, sky-high taxes, and other positions no conservative could ever accept. The Never Trumpers see disaster coming in the form of the president winning reelection over a Democrat who moved too far left for the American voter.
So they issue warnings. The Democrats' performance in the most recent debate was "worse than farcical," the New York Times' Bret Stephens wrote. "It's tragic. It will make the Trump campaign's job

If you really have your heart set on losing. Sanford Kasich and Amash should satisfy your craving.
More winning for me.

It's not too late to get on the Trump Train. It may be a bumpy ride but at least it's heading in the right direction.

My advice to the Never Trumpers is to ignore all the video, all the audio, and all the tweets. Pretend the Prez is a black box which creates policies, negotiates deals, gets legislation enacted, makes appointments, and takes care that the laws are faithfully executed. Look at the results of his presidency and decide on that basis if you want to vote him a second term.

Who will keep NR and all the other losers in fellowships, chairs and all that other nonsense after Trump is re-elected? More people see the never Trumpers via Ace than go to the cuckshed(bulwark) or NR websites. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

From Bill Clinton to today's democrat candidates (who can give the most away!) is like night and day. Most of the people who hate Trump do so based just because of his style (talking/tweeting), not so much for what he has accomplished. He is tackling the big problems, and doing pretty well. Compare that with the dem candidates, whose agendas are pretty much bank-breaking free stuff, open borders,diversity, minimum wage, gender pronouns, bathrooms, etc. I just don't see Gillibrand face-to-face with XI or lil Kim. But the Eugene Robinsons' will run to the booths to cast their vote for them.

If only they could get Mitt Romney elected president and bring back John McCain! What a wonderful world it would be for the never-Trumpers!

I ignore Never Trumpers. Their opposition to Trump has shown their true colors: elitist snobbery and globalism.

How pathetic that the Never Trumpers are desperately pleading for the dems to save them from themselves. "Our hate for Trump makes it impossible to vote for him. Dems, please follow our direction and provide a moderate dem that we can support so that we have somewhere to go rather than wandering in the wilderness. We deserve to be admired for our wisdom and wonderfulness." This is like asking the wicked witch to spare Toto, and just as likely to happen.
That is NOT who dems are. They used to be better at pretending to be moderate as to get elected but that was not their real goal. Dems were boiling America, like a frog, slowly, hoping that it wouldn't notice and jump out of the liberal frying pan. But along came BO and the Left decided that NOW was their time. They took a BIG step, BOCare. Even THAT wasn't full implementation of their real plan for full government control of medicine but it put them well on the path and it was the most they thought they could get away with. They overreached and it all blew up in their faces.
But these are the poor saviors that the Never Trumpers cry out to for relief. The fact that such incompetent and foolish "emancipators" would be very bad for the Country doesn't matter. The Never Trumpers are willing to sacrifice the rest of us for THEIR salvation and their egos.

I just don't get it. The Never Trumpers and the dems have such an adverse reaction to President Trump while those who actually come in contact with him are quite impressed by him. The dems rant and rage against him but fail to give any specifics for why they are so enraged. They say he is a boor, crude, unpresidential yet he meets with the world leaders and they praise him. He certainly impressed the Queen and she is not an easy person to impress and is known for no suffering fools. I would take her as the touchstone as to whether one is couth or not and he passed. China got caught withe there pants down and admitted to having greatly under-estimated him. Given his accomplishments in such a short time should go far to convenience these folks it has across the board with voters. I guess some people just can't admit to being wrong.

The Never Trumps are traitors who preferred Hillary to win instead of voting for Trump. They can live in exile forever.

Wasn't it back in in 20s that voters ousted all subversives from the demonrat party? The electorate needs to repeat history.

FTA: "The (NeverTrumpers') 2020 problem is twofold. The first part is that there is no hope of challenging Trump within the Republican Party structure...The second part ... is the depressingly woke Democratic field."
The "first part" is the reason why the GOPe Uniparty NeverTrumpers must allow the Dems to open up on PDT over whatever accusations and claims can be fashioned. It's the reason for the overwhelming silence from the GOPe in defending PDT.
After Labor Day will come the last gasp offensive to drive PDT out of the race, including Dem threats of impeachment and more Amash-style bipartisanship in support, with Mitch eventually mumbling PDT may not have the votes to survive, or somesuch.

York hits a gold mine with this one.
Unhinged, foaming-at-the-mouth NeverTrumpers now unhappy that the "sensible" Dems are so totally unmoored from reality, so completely socialist/communist and committed to totally open borders that even these NeverTrumpers are recoiling in horror.
Sucks to be them.
