The Obsessive Narcissism of the #NeverTrump Bots
Breitbart ^ | 9 Aug 2016 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 08/09/2016 12:37:43 PM PDT by detective

There is a repeated theme in the arguments made by “NeverTrump,” those Republicans who have sworn not to vote for the party’s nominee, Donald Trump. That theme is: “I, me, mine.”

Consider the arguments made by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) in Tuesday’s Washington Post. She does not compare Trump to Hillary Clinton. She does not discuss his policies. Instead, she offers an extensive internal monologue: “This is not a decision I make lightly”; “I had hoped”; “I have thought long and hard."

There are no more despicable people than the people who claim to be conservative Republicans and work to get Clinton elected.

They are liars. They are scum.

They should never again be allowed to be part of or influence the government.

Susan Collins has never been a conservative Republican.

I agree. To “stand on one’s principles” by doing something that will only help elect Hillary, who is completely opposed to every principle they hold, is insane.

I should amend my statement by saying, “...unless their stated principles are a lie and they are actually just motivated by a desire to maintain the status quo.” Entirely possible.

I was going to say the same thing you did, about a common attribute of these people ...

-- They are liars. --

False outrage. Well, my outrage is not manufactured, and I will vote for the DEM if that is what it takes to defeat Collins, no matter what she runs for. I'd rather see the country burn down under the weight of #BLM than support her. Same goes for the rest of the "party unity on my terms" GOP shysters.

I called Collins office today, pleasant voice, told them to report a constituent who was very pleased that she spoke her mind.

“I have thought long and hard”

It’ll take me about two seconds to vote for Trump.

Clinton is just so phony.

Just get it over with and change your party affiliation to democrat already. So you would rather vote for a dim who is against you 98% of the time than a rhino who is against you 50% of the time? Typical upside down thinking.

The Never Trump crowd are so narcissistic that they make Trump look like a shrinking violet by comparison. Their sense of moral self superiority is downright nauseating.

It’s all about keeping the Cheap Labor Express running.
They are not going to allow the citizens to elect a President who would actually enforce the laws.
The bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws will not be reversed if they can help it.

A NeverTrumper is a person who plans to go into the voting booth and masturbate—as proof of his purity.

The pretense of the power elites being two separate political parties representing the citizens who elected them
rapidly falls by the wayside the moment their monopoly on control of America's power and wealth is threatened.

I see these #nevertrumps all over facebook. Some are the “holier than thou” types, some still suffer from butt hurt of Cruz being attacked by Trump, and then there are some who think they are smarter than everyone else in the room. The last type want to hold out and watch Trump lose so they then can blow their own trumpet declaring how smart they are for never endorsing him.

But most #nevertrumpers are a combination of all three.

And your thinking has given us the Collins, McCains, Grahams, McConnells, Ryans et al who are RHINOs who have done nothing but give in to the media and democrats. Why do you think they are any better than democrats, the end result is the same, except that at least with a Dem, we know who the enemy is. And where do you get your 98% number and 50% number?
