#NeverTrump GOP endorsements LATEST: Graham and Lee voted McMullin

He'll take plenty of us with him. The Trump Revolution was dead before it started.

Hahahaha
I still remember when just about the only people who believed Trump could win were Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan, Steve Bannon, and myself. Oh, and a couple thousand kids with Pepe the frog avatars.

#NeverTrump was hypocritical from the start. These same people who claimed Trump violated their conservative principles had no problem supporting McCain (the guy who has now killed the Obamacare repeal and repeatedly tried to pass amnesty) or Bush (who added trillions to the debt, which funnily enough only became a problem to them when Obama did it). When Rubio betrayed his voters by going the gang of eight after promising never to support amnesty, did they attack him for betraying conservative principles? Of course not. He was praised as "electable and moderate" vs Trump being called a leftist for any criticism he made of global neoliberal capitalism, even as they helped him win over moderate working class white voters in key swing states.

Krazen please stop

#NeverTrump was/is a PERSONAL and not an IDEOLOGICAL movement.  I would think that most of the #NeverTrump crowd are reasonably happy with Trump's agenda to date.  What they hate is their own decreased influence after Trump essentially executed a Hostile Takeover of the GOP.  It's personal; political, but not ideological.

I agree. The party elites hated that Trump was winning without kissing their rings. He was ignoring or destroying every well funded think tank and media outlet in his way and revealing that 98% of people don't care what National Review says. The institutions that got behind #NeverTrump were doing so to preserve their own power.

It seemed like they failed, but until a lot of republican in Congress lose their primaries, they can still largely direct Trump's legislative agenda into their preferred territory of tax cuts and deregulation. The "hostile takeover" of the GOP will require more than one election cycle. If it fails to materialize, the GOP is set to be stuck permanently as the minority party with a message of "We'll make the democrats transform society a little more slowly and let our donors keep their tax loopholes."
