#NeverTrump movement died in Cleveland last night

It’s black outfits today for the mourners of the passing of the #NeverTrump movement. After last night’s 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.

To: Democrats hate too much

I don’t like that Pence came out against halting Muslim immigration...even if he wouldn’t be in a position to influence it that much as VP. Other than that I’m not sure what I think about him v. Newt.

If everything was equal I’d got for Newt.

The Republicans who hate Trump have already poisoned the well. They did not succeed in denying Trump the nomination but they will do everything they can to sabotage his campaign and help Clinton win.

Trump is opposed by the media, the Washington insiders, the Democrat Party establishment and the Republican Party establishment.

Only the American people support him.

Could be ‘68 dem riots. Just sayin’. :)

The bulk of the "Never Trumpers" don't riot. It is uncouth, and it might get their shoes dirty. They might say kind and understanding (though condescending) things about Marxist Leftist rioters.

I have no respect for anyone in that movement, whether it’s a moderate like Bill Kristol or the more conservative ones like Mike Lee.

Trump is winning in the polls now and has Hillary on the ropes with the world exploding in terrorism and the US in racial warfare. Too bad Trump haters, say goodbye!

I recall that a lot of the ‘68 riots were really draft riots.

What this election represents to me is an “ideological Armageddon” of sorts. We either decide our founding basis and faith is retained, or we devolve into third and forth-world anarchy.

The primary issue is Islam and its inherent terrorism and its innate insanity of the human psyche - the soul, IMO.

Those that support conniving liberal lying hucksters like Hillary Clinton who thinks only of power, wealth and dynasty and are willing to stretch God-based ideals of good will into equality for anything-as-long-as-we-are-in-power-forever (or during their own pitiful lifetimes) are disciples of the ‘now’ - not caring one shit about what comes after.

#Never Trump movement died a few months ago on Free Republic thanks to Jim Robinson.

Those, who use Free Republic and don’t donate, might consider becoming a monthly donor of $5-10/month to help defeat the Clintoons/Obama/Lynch/Kerry’s.

There is no Free Lunch in life.

LOL! I was a little busy defending the assclowns right to be, well, assclowns in ‘68. They’re welcome. NOT!

They can try all they want in Nov. We have passed this hurdle, and the Nov. will be a much easier hurdle. I’m predicting a landslide victory for Trump.

I think Trump is gonna change his mind. Think he will pick Newt. Heard Newt is CFR but he is really good on Islam.

Yep.

Draft ended and so did the riots.

They were fighting to keep from fighting.

Almost looks like Michael Moore, but I know he would never exert that much energy, LOL.

The NeverTrumpers have lost the battle but you can bet that they will continue to pout and stamp their feet in the most childish way possible. They will do whatever they can to elect Crooked Hillary just so they can say "I told you so" in the end.

To be fair, The #NeverTrump movement has been dead for a while, though it’s members are blissfully unaware of their DOA status.

“Levin was praising the Pence choice. Don’t know if that is a good thing. Now I see reports about connections to Koch’s, support of TPP, and other things that are making me question him.”

Yeah, I can’t say I am filled with joy over that, and with the globalist scum it would seem to have a degree of inherent personal danger too. Anyway, it is not yet a done deal. Perhaps the rumor is in error.
