Bill Kristol and other Never-Trump Republicans have done extensive polling and talked to potential candidates and financial backers about how to stop Donald Trump, according to sources familiar with those efforts.

There is no such thing as a "#NeverTrump conservative".

Any real conservative with two brain cells to rub together is a "#NeverHillary conservative". And they know that by not supporting Trump, by default, they are helping Hillary become president. So they are supporting Trump.

Excellent points.

The reason we have primaries and caucuses, is to allow for our input in the choice of the party nominee for president.

Many of us did not support Trump in the primary process, but, he emerged as the winner of that process.

Supporting anyone else will only weaken Trump as he goes up against Hillary and the Democrats.

Are these people really that dense or stupid, to not realize that running a 3rd party candidate can only help elect Hillary??? Do they really want to see HIllary get elected, rather than a candidate who was not their first choice in the primaries????

I’m thinking it’s going to be Jim Webb because he’s a Democrat portrayed as a moderate. Kristol’s kind of people!

So was this guy (never heard of him, personally) the supposed "strong independent" Kristol was tweeting about Saturday? If so it sounds like he backed out awfully fast...

There are no takers.

#NeverTrumpers could have made their case during the primaries.

Now they’re resentful they lost. It happens - time for to STFU and move on.

We gotta stop Hillary.
