Brad Thor, A #NeverTrumper surrenders
Washington Times ^ | August 17, 2016 | Kelly Riddell

Posted on 08/21/2016 3:36:58 PM PDT by HokieMom

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

One by one, the #NeverTrumpers will fall, as they realize the only two people who have a shot at winning the White House are GOP nominee Donald Trump or his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Brad Thor, who has been in the #NeverTrump camp since the beginning and is a respected conservative author, came to this realization on Tuesday, throwing his support behind Mr. Trump. It wasn’t a pretty endorsement, but it was an endorsement all the same.

“Yesterday, Dr. [Hugh] Hewitt tried (yet again) to help guide America to the best (and only) option available to us. I lost a lot of sleep last night reading and then re-reading his words. I awoke this morning with a more nuanced view. Drug #1 (Hillary Clinton) will kill us — no question. Drug #2 (Donald Trump) might kill us, but it also might: A) Slow the cancer, or even B) Cure the cancer,” Mr. Thor wrote in HotAir.com, a conservative site that is part of Townhall Media.

“It’s a lot to hope for, I know, but hope is all we have left. We have exhausted every other avenue. Make no mistake — I believe one hundred percent in standing on principle. Principle, in this case though, will not cure cancer. Sadly, that crappy clinic south of the border is starting to look like our only option,” he wrote.

Gracious indeed. Let’s not be the “righteous son” filled with self inflicted poison at the return of the prodigal. We need every single person to say yes today, no matter what they said yesterday. Imho This is truly a battle against powers and principalities that will only be defeated by embracing the Spirit and its power. Love, joy, peace, patience are the fruits. Let the flesh and its fruits of anger, hatred, revenge, etc rot as it is destined to do. Only Victory will put the stench behind us

"Hmm, I seem to remember him chatting with Becks the Clown about the need for a patriot to kill Trump. It will not be forgotten. Screw him and his endorsement. I’m never buying another one of his books."

What I cannot stand and comprehend about the Never-Trumper's is their compulsive obsessive hate of DJT like some High School romance gone bad and the jock can't get over loosing the cheerleader.

In the words of Cher, "Snap out of it!" You all asked us to vote for Romney and McCain and we supported your laggards and now you want to leave? Go ahead don't let the door hit ya! Better yet let us leave, you divorced us a long time ago!

Seriously, are they in need of a shrink here?

What a bunch of Douche-Bags, get over your big bad selves already, that's right I said it, Beck, Levin, Limbaugh, Medved, Kristol, Will, Erickson, Kruthammer, and last but not least Ted Cruz.

This has been the great disillusionment those that were our hero's are no zero's. It was about their pass through schemes and listen to them being the sultan's of smart. We don't need you anymore, we can think for ourselves and frankly if DJT "fixes it" we won't need you anymore.

I fear if I discussed assassinating ANYONE, the Secret Service would pay me a visit. There are real threats fo America and they are not Trump. I am also squeamish about entering the history books next to Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth. That frightens me more than getting executed 14 years later (the standard time for a death penalty case).

Let’s put him in a side car to be on the safe side. : )

Search for “BradThor.com” - He’s a very well-known author of great books. If you like special ops type of actions, you will get plenty of it with Brad.

I have read most of his books; I belong to his reader’s group - And, I never tire of reading his newest book.

I remember sending him a little note after he declared he would not vote for Trump. Maybe I was not the only one.

Same!! Plus he has an interesting novel about the uranium ore in Virginia which requires Virginia to be controlled by Democrats so they can sell it to foreigners, like Russia, so Thor obviously knows something.....

I truly have no idea who Brad Thor is, but FUBT. I won’t bother to read the article and I know all I ever need to know about him, assuming they’re not confused about their gender.

Really, I never heard Brad ever say anything of the kind about Trump .. except he didn’t want to vote for him.

And .. if Beck said that Brad said such a thing; I’d really question that also.

I had read all of his books up until he started writing stories about female special forces operators. I like my fiction with a little realism.

Stop spreading that rumor.

Beck is looney-toons .. and most people are really beginning to find it out. Allow people to figure it out .. without calling everybody names.

Now let’s see selfish and unpatriotic “never Trump” types campaign FOR the defeat of Hillary Clinton with such vigor. Until that happens they are still dead to me.

And that is completely fair.

Not voting for Trump is one thing. I don’t hold that against him. That is his privilege. What I do hold against him is that on the air, both he and Beck called for the assassination of Donald Trump. For that, they both should have been charged and arrested.

“Like Trump, The Founding Fathers Weren’t PERFECT EITHER!”

Thank you SO MUCH for what you have written. You are right.

I remember when Ronald Reagan ran for President...he was divorced and that was serious back then. We Conservatives didn’t have a litmus test for Reagan where we checked it for ideological perfection. I was happy to have a candidate that reflected most of my views.

I think if there is a perfect flawless conservative candidate running....we don’t know the whole truth.
