Never Trumpers are just Democrats. End of story. Just as irrational and just as evil.

How The Romneyites Will Justify Supporting Bernie Sanders
Never Trump is dead. Long live the Romneyites. Here is why they will wind up supporting socialist Bernie Sanders.
Never Trump is as dead as a doornail, this must be distinctly understood. It met its fate when all but one Republican senator voted to acquit Donald Trump in his impeachment trial. Never Trump was always short for “Never Trump Republican” or “Never Trump Conservative.” For all intents and purposes, those qualifiers no long define the group. Instead they are now defined by the one senator who abandoned the GOP: Mitt Romney.
Story continues below advertisementThe Romneyites, which they should now be known as, are still defined by their staggering aversion to Donald Trump, but the handful of principled Republican politicians they kept predicting would turn on Trump did not materialize. Their three-year project to wrangle back the GOP from the inside has failed, leaving them with only one option, to support a Democrat against Trump, and increasingly it appears that Democrat may well be socialist Bernie Sanders.
This is a very tough spot for the Romneyites to be in. One almost has to feel sorry for them. It is important to remember that they are not just smarter than their Trump-defending conservative ex-cohorts, they are also of course much smarter than the Democrats who they have been warning about the dangers of lunging too far to the left. But for all their wisdom and long hard hours in the think tanks, neither the Democrats nor the Republicans seem very keen on heeding their important advice.
This was not supposed to happen. The election was not supposed to even get close to coming down to a right wing populist bully from Queens and a left wing populist bully from Brooklyn. Even last week the Romneyites were writing weird wish craft, like a piece in the Bulwark called, “Romney-Bloomberg: The Unity Ticket America Deserves.” You couldn’t read the sentiments of the American voting public more poorly right now if you held the book upside down.
And speaking of the junior senator from Utah, now the titular head of what was once Never Trump, who will he be supporting come November? He did just recently vote to remove Donald Trump from office. Does that leave him in a reasonable position to support his re-election, even against socialist Sanders? Romney’s vote to remove is an important tool for Democrats inasmuch as it gives just the slightest bit of legitimacy to their failed impeachment efforts.
For Romney and his supporters, there is no way back into any semblance of power in the GOP as long as Trump is president. If Biden and Bloomberg cannot stop Sanders’ efforts to secure the nomination, the Romneyites only choice will be to support him. They will claim this grudging support is a needed backstop against Trump’s alleged undermining of American democracy, but they also know a Trump defeat is their only likely way to regain policy influence in the Republican Party.
Friends, these are strange times. Over on the left, from his perch at MSNBC Democrat Chris Matthews is comparing Sanders’ socialist victory in Nevada to France falling to the Nazis, and on the right, former anti-communist neocons are dismissing concerns about electing a Disdainer of Capitalism in Chief.
To no small degree is the Romneyite position similar to that of Joe Biden, a Democrat they would greatly prefer to support. Like them, Biden’s campaign is a call for a return to normalcy. The good old days of Bush and Obama, globalism and neoliberalism. It’s not too late to get all of that back, they say, if the people want it. The problem of course is that there is little sign that this is actually what most Americans want.
The Romneyites, using their preferred term, Principled Conservatives, will hold a conference in Washington DC this weekend, a kind of shadow CPAC if you will. All of your favorites will be there: Bill Kristol, Charlie Sykes, Tom Nichols, and Rick Wilson to name a few. But they really only have one principle, which is Donald Trump and his rube Fox News addicted voters are bad. And they really just aren’t conservatives anymore. The baby went out with the bathwater and all that is left to refill the tub is warmed over socialism.
So get ready to hear a lot from them about the wonders of Denmark, how Sanders really isn’t a socialist, how Trump’s conservative victories actually don’t amount to much, and about how four more years of Trump will end American democracy. Trump is to the Romneyites what climate change is to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, an existential and immediate threat that must be not just the top, but the only priority.
The good news is that in reality, their support for a socialist presidential candidate cannot sway any considerable constituency of voters, because no such voters actually exist.

All anybody has to do is watch one program on Blaze tv to show Glenn Beck in no way supports Bernie.
In fact, he’s been warning about Bernie being the true face of the democratic party, once they have enough confidence to “Drop their masks.”
And while I don’t follow Ben Shapiro much, from what I have seen of him, I can’t believe he’d go anywhere near Sanders either, except as a reporter who would pin him down with REAL questions too.

That stands to reason. With Trump winning the 2016 election he destroyed the Bush and Clinton dynasties in one whack.

Don’t forget when Glenn Beck said he was voting for Hillary – that is when he lost most of his viewers, including me. So I don’t discount its possibility.

Sedition and Treason is to big for any one election to fix.
>>> First, Arrest the seditious DOJ top brass and replace them with Judicial Watch!
>>> Arrest the seditious FBI top brass and place all re-vetted agents under the US Marshall’s Service!
>>> The CIA? Burn it down.
>>> Next, Trump must declare Martial Law and arrest the “Deep State” entrenched in the DOJ/CIA/FBI/ DNC/CAIR/SPLC/ leftist Academia …..and all the MSM members ☭NN, AB☭, NB☭, ☭BS, MSNB☭, ☭NB☭, NPR, WaP0S, HuffP0S, MEDIA MALPRACTICE and THE NY SLIMES.

Neocons and Never Trumpers just might endorse Bernie. Their hatred of Trump was never rational and neither is Bernie. Never Trumpers are closet authoritarian DEMS and want our decline to continue – just like Bernie. It would make perfect sense from their viewpoint, to now love Bernie to get Trump out!
If they can endorse Hillary, why not Bernie? Both Bush’s endorsed Hillary. Hillary now endorses Bernie. The only reason DEMS are upset over Bernie is he is in your face about what their agenda really is. and they know they have to LIE about it. We’ll see what happens ………..

You are free to oppose Trump and his followers for any number of reasons; however, if you support Bernie you are a Communist or a fellow-traveler. You may rationalize you are a Democratic Socialist or adopt positions that you can claim are not Marxist but you and I and all who understand reality know you are wearing a mask. This election will be an opportunity to unmask all of the Communists and their supporters in the USA and compose an index of those who need to be either cast out or rehabilitated. There can be no compromise. All Communists and their “useful idiots” need to be cast out lest a potential Stalin or Mao be left to rise in the future.

Glenn Beck has already stated definitively that he is a Trump Supporter now. He said that re-electing Trump is our last chance to save the Republic from the Deep State.

BECK was just 1 reason I supported Trump back in 2016. I knew in my SPIRIT that he was wrong about Trump.
DOES TRUMP HAVE DECORUM? No.
DOES TRUMP SOUND BRASH AND ARROGANT SOMETIMES? Yes.
DOES TRUMP TRY TO DESTROY GOOD IN AMERICA? No.
It took Beck some time, but he came around because I believe HE IS MORE HONEST NOW THAN HE WAS BACK IN 2016 or maybe Beck was just going along to get along, I dunno. I think the Holy Spirit convicted his Spirit. I know God dealt with me as well when I was a Ted Cruz supporter, not that Ted was a bad man. HE WAS NOT. The HS kept telling me that TRUMP WAS GOD’S MAN. At first, I laughed, but I was convicted spiritually for quite a few months until God got through and convinced me WHY Trump was His pick.
These other people listed in the article, mean absolutely nothing to me and to most Americans who are HONEST within their souls.
God told me how He was going to shape and mold him and that IT WOULD BE AMERICA’S LAST CHANCE TO BE FREE BUT THAT TRUMP WOULD BE ATTACKED SO TERRIBLY, PEOPLE WOULD BE SHOCKED AND DISMAYED at what they would see. I had no idea, but trusted God and voted for Trump. GOD WAS RIGHT. BECK WAS WRONG. Millions of more Americans heard God’s voice as well. I am praying that millions more will LISTEN to God, as well.
There are just SOME PEOPLE in America that GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT cannot get through to. These are HARDENED-HEART PEOPLE, IGNORANT PEOPLE and useful idiots, AND JUDGEMENTAL PEOPLE, especially people who call themselves Christian, but do not practice what they preach.
HUMILITY is the key. I became very humbled when God dealt with me and He was then able to get through to me.

If you can’t back a President that is DOING GOOD FOR AMERICA(NS), our economy, our relationships with other countries, the security of our country, trying to be self-sustained from foreign oil, THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOOD FOR, MR. POLITICIAN? Why are you even in that position, so you can DESTROY ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN THIS COUNTRY? Won’t that make YOU LOOK TERRIBLE? If you don’t care, then STEP DOWN or move over to the Democrat Party. THEY WILL TAKE YOU.
THAT IS THE REAL QUESTION. Just being a NEVER-TRUMPER without any evidence as to WHY you feel that way, will not bode well for you come re-election. Trump IS THE PRESIDENT and all that he has done FOR AMERICA(NS) IS EXACTLY WHY YOU NEVER-TRUMPERS SHOULD BE SUPPORTING HIM. You are only making YOURSELF and YOUR PARTY look like hypocrites and worse yet, DEMOCRATS.

Proof positive that Romney is a fake: His eagerness to interview for the Secretary of State job after the election. He went from a no-Trumper to a Trump job seeker to a never-Trumper. Now we know: Never Romney!

Pamela! Shapiro is NOT a RINO by any stretch of the imagination (he his a pure Conservative Republican as can be) and he is not a Never Trumper
Shapiro supports most of what Trump has and is doing, he said so himself! If anything, him initially being a skeptic, his support for Trump has only grown stronger since 2016, as Trump has been able to deliver time and time again on his many promises under unimaginably difficult circumstances (constant Democrat/Media attacks/sabotage)
Shapiro’s one main problem with Trump, is his style/messaging (mainly Trump’s frequent, seemingly of the cuff Twitter activities…), thats basically it…
