The Hypocrites Have Left the Building (NeverTrump journalists make their GOP exit, and take their credibility with them)
A number of conservatives who spent the last few decades telling Americans they should support the Republican Party — despite it fielding unconservative candidates — have suddenly decided that ideological purity matters.
For instance, columnist George Will on Friday announced his departure from the Republican Party — during an appearance at a Federalist Society luncheon no less. Will joins a number of self-proclaimed conservatives who have abandoned the GOP ship since it became clear that Trump would likely be the party’s nominee.

Speaking for myself only, here ... I don’t recall ever considering George Will to be much of a conservative. Certainly not a constitutionalist.
Without the doormat at the doors, why would I let filth like this come into a place that I keep spotless, with mind, body and soul?
I don't, and I'm happy they have gone off to the other side that is evil, vile, and a swamp filled with viperous snakes...be gone from our surroundings!!!
No, you’re speaking for many-no doubt. Another pontificating has-been outed.
And we care about this because....?
These pseudo Conservatives should be challenged as to whether or not they understand that the Constitution--not just Donald Trump--requires Federal Office holders put America & the Americans First! It really is not debatable.
See Trump: The Issue
We have a crucial decision to make, whether to allow our home grown internationalists to negate centuries of cultural development--after the fashion the EC has been promoting in Europe--and Will, Kristol & Paulson, were never on our side in dealing with that issue. It is the question of this Century, and we must know who is on what side.
ALL ABOARD the Crooked Cankles Express to HELL.
Plenty of more room in First Class, but as per the Witch’s cackle, members of the media have to ride in the cattle cars.
ALL ABOARD !!
The GOP insiders freak out at Trump… yet are clueless as to why he won… the conservative folks in “fly-over-country” rallied and voted the GOP both House and Senate, only to see no action to slow down the Obama nightmare socialist agenda. In fact, Ryan, McConnell and GOPe seem to be OK with it. They became the “Washington Generals”, who we recall were the “opposing” team that “played” the Harlem Globetrotters. All seemed to be little more than theater and phony baloney! With the defections to Hillary by George Will, Henry Paulson and other “conservatives”… we have seen in no uncertain terms that brazenly criminal Hillary is preferable to the votes of the GOP rank and file! She’ll keep the Washington “protection racket gravy train” going that benefits them all!
With the election of Hillary, the corporate/Wall Street government that our “progressive” friends pretend to despise (liars?) will be complete! We now know these liberals are just as phony in their “progressivism” as George Will and other RINOs are in their “conservatism”. I guess we could label them LIMOs as they show daily they indeed despise (not support as they claim) the dimishing middle class! The ‘rusty’ irony: Trump IS the 3rd party candidate… he just took over the moribund corpse that used to be the party of Lincoln and Reagan… but now seeks their seat at the D.C. corruption table, even if all they get are the Democrats’ crumbs.
I sympathize with a decision to not support the GOP candidate under some conditions. I had decided that I would not support any candidate who I didn’t trust to secure the border. Since most candidates, Jeb in particular, but most of the others too, had attacked people who wanted the border secured, I had decided pretty much that I would sit home if they were the candidate.
Only Trump and Cruz were believable on the border, and they were the only two candidates I was willing to vote for. I would have sat home had Jeb won the primary. He’s the guy who presented Hillary with her award, he’s the one who attacked Governor Brewer for trying to deal with illegal aliens who were committing crimes in her state, he was in fact the one who attacked conservatives and tea party folk on several issues. So despite what he says during an election, I knew there was little practical difference between him and Hillary.
Now, I don’t think they can say that about Trump. Between Trump and Hillary, there is a stark difference on almost every issue. Granted, he isn’t the most trustworthy on social issues, but then again I don’t think Will and Kristol and Goldberg are social conservatives. So that can’t be their hang-up. Come to think of it, none of them liked Cruz either. And come to think of it, none of them particularly cared for the tea party folk.
I have to conclude that in a race between a criminal and an entrepreneur, they prefer the criminal.
Maybe this is a good time to wonder: had Trump been in office when those guys were dying in Benghazi, would he have dithered while they died or would he have scorched the earth around that compound in an effort to save their lives?
Maybe these guys are happy with the way she handled it. That’s all I can conclude.
well put!
Great post!
Send millions of jobs to the Chinks.
Import a bazillion HOSTILE ILLEGAL ALIENS into our shores.
Trade deficits UP THE WAZOO.
Yep them guys was “Conservative” all right.
DO NOT let the door hit youz in the ass on your way out.
Trump has flushed,them ALL OUT HarleyLady I am VERY GRATEFUL for that!!!! GO TRUMP!!!! MAGA!!!! AMERICA FIRST!!!!
We finally get a guy who stands up to the press, the other side, the enemy. Someone who teaches us about ourselves and how we should treat our friends and our enemies.
I’ve held my nose and voted for our guy each time since Reagan. My first vote was Nixon.
Then these three @sshats come in. They go get lost, as far as I’m concerned.
All three of these jack asses can FOAD.
Kevin D. Williamson (C.f.. NR, June 27, p.16.) continues campaigning for Hillary—blithely asserting for the umpteenth time that Trump must be defeated.
I cannot believe anybody is this stupid. They must ALL be WHORES.
“Maybe this is a good time to wonder: had Trump been in office when those guys were dying in Benghazi, would he have dithered while they died or would he have scorched the earth around that compound in an effort to save their lives?
