Why I Changed My Mind and Joined the #NeverTrump Movement
National Review ^ | March 2, 2016 | David French

Posted on 03/03/2016 6:05:48 AM PST by C19fan

Let me begin by saying that I was wrong. Weeks ago I said on a number of radio interviews that while I opposed Trump in the primary, I’d back him if he won the GOP nomination. I hadn’t yet seen — or had been unwilling to believe — the full extent of his contempt for the truth, his fondness for far-left conspiracy theories, and his sheer malice. When I saw Trump in full, my decision was easy: Never Trump.

I have spent my entire adult life advocating against abortion and working to protect the unborn. I didn’t endure the taunts and jeers of my law-school classmates, work countless days and nights away from home to protect the free-speech rights of pro-life protestors, and defend the freedoms of the unsung heroes in crisis-pregnancy centers only to vote for a man who’s a walking Planned Parenthood commercial.

Months ago, Trump's response to PP selling aborted baby parts was when I began rethinking my willingness to vote for him if the candidate I support didn't win the nomination. Now, I know I won't vote for him. I could list multiple reasons, but what's the point. His supporters will vote for him no matter what he does or says.

Don’t count on it. While I haven’t yet reached “NeverTrump” status, there are many who have ... and I’m not talking about the “elite” here, I’m talking about largely apolitical women.

“Last night, even in his alleged “uniter” mode, Trump went out of his way to once again praise the nation’s largest abortionist — the killer of millions of children — and call his critics “so-called conservatives.”

Trump made it clear that he would not support PP aborting babies and would not fund them if they continue.

The writer neglects to mention that.

The “so-called conservative” comment is Trump taunting so-called conservatives because all the issues he runs on are conservative, always have been, and he named them off. And so-called conservatives oppose everyone of them.

So yes, they are indeed “so-called conservatives”.

Now, if the writer wants to vote for Hillary, or advise conservatives to stay home and not vote for Trump, thereby voting for Hillary, then his own words testify against him. He is advocating for what he supposedly condemns.

Doesn’t make sense. Why would ‘largely apolitical women’ hold a #NeverTrump position?

Great post. Keep posting it.

When NR closes its doors due to bankruptcy next year, you can have a full montague of their full blown TDS causing their self inflicted Macycide against Trump’s supporters!

We’ll know who in the next week or two is establishment and who is not. They are in the process of showing us who they really are. They’re taking off the masks and showing their true selves.

It’s trump or H!

They need to get over it. If any of them are dreaming they can get past Americans who want their country back and broker a convention, they are insane. No exaggeration

I have a lot of respect for NR for precisely the reason you state. They stand for what is right even though it will likely cost their bottom line considerably.

My father, rest his soul, claimed the republic was lost once women got the vote. He said that voting based on emotion was going to put everyone in chains.

Of course, he was a crazy, old fashioned coot who was from another era.

Still doesn’t make sense. Why a creepy boor?

Maybe you just think that and are projecting that ‘largely apolitical women’ must also think the same.

National Review is the propaganda arm of the GOPe open border elites who hate hard working Americans.

The RNC/GOPe/Neocon Uniparty elite thugs, who have been the overseers of the Faux Conservative plantations since 1961. These overseers keep trying to trick/betray/control us to stay on/in their faux conservative plantations by selecting their ilk/puppets as our candidates.

They lie and promise us conservatism and when elected $crew us daily in congress and as POTUS! NR and their handpicked tv/radio hosts have pushed their lies for decades.

In most of the primaries, Trump and his voters ignored them. His voters then voted big time for Trump. They won bigtime and broke the rules of the plantation masters by voting for Trump. This is scaring the hell out of our former neocon RNC/GOPe masters of the faux conservative plantations and their ilk, the Club for Growth. They have resurrected Willfred the rat, Romney to condemn Trump as their newest failure to beat Trump.

It is wonderful to see this decades old, long standing corrupt political system disintegrating right before our eyes. This corrupted system hates working Americans. It rewards illegals and those who bring them into America to freeload off the American workers slaving in the faux conservative plantation.

We are seeing a paradigm shift with us selecting our Presidential Candidate, instead of the RNC/GOPe/Uniparty elites, who hate us, selecting our candidates.

There is a Black Swan event occurring with the daily suicidal self wrought destruction of the RNC/GOPe, UniParty, Open Border Thugs, DC faux pundits, Faux News, ABCNNBCBS, NR and the left wing fish wraps.

Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying RNC/GOP Open Borders Elite, The Club for Growth, the UniParty, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollsters and focus groups, Faux, ABCNNBCBS, their hired tv and radio hacks and NR strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.

We have escaped from their faux conservative plantations. We are not going back for more lies, abuse and mistreatment from our former RNC/GOPe masters.

We will vote for Trump and destroy them!

You left obama off that list. Don’t think that is far fetched. It is not.
