Its black outfits today for the mourners of the passing of the #NeverTrump movement. After last nights votes in the Rules Committee of the Republican Nartional Convention, the dream of a nominee with a name other than Trump is dead. James Arkin writs at RealClearPolitics:
A long-shot, last-ditch attempt by a few Republican delegates to prevent Donald Trump from securing the GOP nomination failed by an overwhelming margin late Thursday night.
Some anti-Trump delegates on the Republican National Convention Rules Committee sought a strategy to unbind convention delegates, allowing them to vote their conscience against Trump even if they were bound to him by primary results. Delegates loyal to Trump and the Republican National Committee fought back by proposing a counter-measure to clarify that all delegates are bound to vote based on the primary results.

His records are sealed. So far Barry Barack Obama Dunn Soetero has provided more proof of citizenship.

To me, the interesting question is what portion of the NeverTrumpers will actively work to defeat Trump. Is I-told-you-so worth the price of a Hillary presidency?
There are already some Republicans actively working to defeat Trump. We shouldn't close our eyes to that reality.

The NeverTrumpers got their moment onstage, said their piece, and lost.
They stroked their own egos then slumped off the stage like the stooges they are.

Im a whole lot more concerned about a presidential pick than I ever will be about a VP pick...
We have the best presidential pick that weve had since 1980 this election cycle...
Yes!

Cruz was right on philosophically, but totally lacking in Trumps dynamism. Yes, he was.
Except that he turned out to be a liar. A strange mixture of philosophical conservatism and practical, everyday lying. Too strange for my taste, by a long shot.
And... he is Canadian.

Wow, Kasich is stunning in his irrelevance. He takes irrelevance to the next level.

Levin is a rock solid conservative. Rock Solid Conservatives do not do things that promote Hillary and Mark was the leading never Trumper.

He didn’t promote Hillary. We need his support to get Trump in and to help him against the RINOs in Congress when he does.

He didnt promote Hillary. Two people in the race you continually trap one, does that help the one you are trashing or the other one? Listen to ark as long as he is not on a Trump trashing mode and that has been every time I tune in lately.

I don’t like it either. Maybe he will change his tune now. Personally, I don’t understand Levin on this. He is so good on other stuff.

If you count June 16, 2015, when Trump announced that he was running, as Day 1, then I also supported him, even before Day 1.
But for a while, during some of the early speculation period, like maybe March and April, I was still thinking Cruz was best.

Maybe he will change his tune now. One can hope. He lays off it pretty much on his TV show, but not completely which is sad.

Just like the Marxists. Beat them and they are back.
