#NeverTrump: The media is using you as pawns. Don't Let Them.
American Thinker ^ | June 20, 2016 | Eugene Slaven

Posted on 06/20/2016 1:33:37 AM PDT by weston

The media's unbridled giddiness over the #NeverTrump camp's worsening Trump Derangement Syndrome is palpable.

Without delving into the debate on the merits of the #NeverTrump movement, it is painfully clear that at this point, the #NeverTrump movement is aiding and abetting the left.

Don't lose sight of the bigger conflict between the left and the right, between two competing visions for our country. Understand that the media is using #NeverTrumps as pawns in their war on our values. Fight back as hard as if your preferred Republican had won the nomination, because I know that you know the media would be viciously attacking any other Republican nominee right now. They are not anti-Trump so much as they're pro-Hillary, and more broadly, pro-left.

“The media is using you as pawns.”

...”They are not anti-Trump so much as they’re pro-Hillary...”

That may very well be. However, it’s legal. There must be zero tolerance for voter and election fraud, which is very illegal.

I can see it no other way. They cannot be so stupid as to not see that dividing the Republicans is handing the election to Hillary.
She would have no chance to win if the R’s stuck together. she’s that bad.

BOYCOTT their advertisers.

BOYCOTT worked so will in the 1770s that
King George went for throat in Boston
using Quartering (just like Ryan and Obama).

It is a big problem, and I don't think people here (and there, in the No Trump movement) fully appreciate what is at stake. The next POTUS will nominate a min,max of 2-4 Supreme Court Justices. Such a shunt is enough to skew the scales of justice for a generation. A whole generation, at the least.

As things currently stand, the conservative movement (whether it is what we call Conservatism, what Red State calls Conservatism, even what Jeb Bush would call Conservatism) is on its back foot. The Democrats continue to, slowly, crystallize a demographic advantage. Additionally, the country has been, slowly, becoming more liberal (and the part that is not becoming more liberal is definitely becoming more tolerant). A simple look at television will show the profound cultural shift that has occurred, with things that would have been anathema on prime time TV two decades ago (such as homosexual couples) being normal fare in some cartoons. Less than two decades ago, the TV show Ellen www cancelled (at the height of its popularity) simply because ABC was not comfortable with the subject matter post Ellen coming out as gay (in both TV and real life). Now you have Nickelodeon and Disney XD having characters that are gay in programs for children. Even in politics, I have said in the past that someone like JFK was more conservative than most Republicans today.

Anyway, my two points are as follows. This election will be of supreme importance. Whoever becomes POTUS will have far reaching ramifications, starting with the SCOTUS. That's my first point. My second point is even simpler - Conservatism has different meanings to Free Republic, Red State, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Santorum, Christie, Rand, even the Bushes and Romney. Each camp has its own interpretation - some right, some misplaced, some wrong. However, no matter the flavor, the fact remains that a Hillary presidency will destroy (destroy) all of those versions. Even Jeb Bush's and Mitt Romney's understand of 'Conservatism.' And when it comes to the likes of Free Republic and Red State, both camps feeling they have the 'right stuff' when it comes to 'true conservatism,' the fact is even more ironically pertinent. A Hillary presidency will make both sites moot. Yes, they will still exist, and there will always be 'conservatives,' only bereft of power.

The danger I see is this - the GOP is the stupid party, and it will live up to its name this election season. It will head into the General in a state of schism, and there will be sufficient attrition at the edges to ensure a Hillary win.

A house divided amongst itself cannot stand.

Those who divide the party like the Never Trump gang are from the same group of people who have enabled Obama.

They are traitors.

Donald at this point, in spite of all his good points and my personal support, is stumbling. I think it is because he is not skeptical enough and resistant to those gope advisors he has brought into his campaign, many of whom have also belonged to the same group which has spawed the Never Trump movement.

Unfortunately, talking to #NeverTrump is like talking to liberals. They are driven by a hatred that in impenetrable. They ignore facts, as well as, reason.

Finally, Republican traitors are getting fawning coverage from the MSM - - something they've craved for decades. "Oh, it's me...it's not that I'm a traitor to my party - I' sure it's ME ME ME"...

Is Paul Ryan getting invited to the A-list parties? Are reporters at his beck and call - and ‘smiling’ at him? A dream come true for these useful idiots.

Maybe the should talk to the first George Bush and find out how democrats ‘rewarded’ him for going back on his ‘no new taxes’ promise. (they barbecued him for it)

I do think some of the elitist never Trumpers are doing it for the limelight. By getting their face in the camera, they think they will give themselves gravitas.

Personally I think they are just ticking people off and could end up losing their seats.

Good points weston.

I watched a few minutes of Morning Joe earlier today and Scarborough was on some kind of freaky hate-Trump rant and it was obvious he was mocking Trump for not having the wit and brilliance of Jeb Bush.

Yep, that Jeb.

The Jeb Bush who lost to Trump - - and spent more money than any other Republican running. Jeb: the gold standard in HOW NOT TO RUN A CAMPAIGN - that Jeb. It was weird.

DC elites must live in a bubble. They have no idea they're ticking off citizens.. it's strange people could be that out of touch. Amazing.

“the #nevertrump are perfectly fine with being used because they’re not Conservative, they want Hillary to win”

There were some well-planted moles who came to the surface HERE not too long ago to spread their hatred and intolerance.

Thankfully, most have left.

I think ‘Never Trump’ is a dirty trick from the Commies, may i call them, using the conservatives in hopes of convincing them not to vote out of ‘purity.’

It is exactly how they tore down George Bush in the YEAR before his presidency ended, ensuring that Obama would win in a landslide. Seems obvious to me. The latest ‘small hands’ ad proves my point. The money had to have come from Soros or some lefties.

Bush didn’t get it, perhaps - he sure didn’t fight back. He doesn’t get it now. I’m disgusted that he’s sitting out the RNC convention. Go Cheney.

Conservative Never-Trump is an oxymoron. No reasonable person who holds this position (claiming to be a conservative) honestly believes that Hillary the commie-socialist-anti-capitalist-law-breaker is a better choice for America than Trump. The “purity” utopian conservative test is a falacy. Frankly, those in the Never Trump camp have about four months to get over themselves. Unfortunately, with some people, it will take that long.
