Some were some early on. Bottom line is that the overwhelming majority are NOT “never Trumpers” as this article asserts.
#nevertrump was an attitude.
I was Cruz supporter, and have been a long time. I sent him money, and I’m still on his mailing list. I switched to Trump before the Iowa caucus, because I thought Cruz waited too long to attack and spent too much on his state infrastructure plan. I saw the Trump handwriting on the wall and became a vocal supporter of Trump.
And while Cruz is now making nice with Trump, I don’t fool myself into thinking that Cruz is a Trump supporter or was not a #nevertrumper, and that that doesn’t still color their relationship.
Sundance is probably correct.
