When conservatives desperately needed allies in the fight against big government, Donald Trump didn’t stand on the sidelines. He consistently advocated that your money be spent, that your government grow, and that your Constitution be ignored.

Some people are just not going to like you no matter what.

“The rest of the blowhards — Levin included — stuck their collective fingers in the wind to find out if it was indeed blowing in Trump’s direction, and then they supported him.
Probably to keep their audiences. The whole bunch of them are moneygrubbers.”
Fox News has become a rather reliable filter for my political stance. I actually used to like and respect Levin, and others still there. But I neither like, trust nor respect anyone that chooses to continue to work for Fox, which represents the radical left to me now.
They are complicit with the leftist media agenda, IMHO. And that includes Tucker, who was fired from Fox... he didn’t quit. They probably tell themselves that they’re staying on to uphold the premise that Fox is still ‘fair and balanced’. But that’s all just more BS and they are perpetuating that lie by staying at Fox, which has become another tool of the Marxist agenda.

“Trump won the 2016 GOP primary for one reason. It’s because tens of millions of Republican voters finally realized that all the “fiscally conservative, small-government” Republican candidates who had been peddled on the political scene by the likes of those losers at National Review turned out to be lying, feckless”
Not true. What happened was the fiscally conservative small government conservative Republicans elected to Congress were outgunned by the establishment Republicans who still held the reins of the GOP caucuses in the House and Senate.
Too often folks blame “the GOP” for failures that not all in the GOP were responsible for.

I have one question for all Never Trumpers:
If DJT is elected president how much do you estimate you would lose in graft and bribes?

Sorry, but most of his policy positions ARE NOT held by most, if not all, of the moderates I have seen.
Your description is lacking!

Actually, you are only partially correct.
There are a ton of pretend, fiscally, small government, and social conservatives that are all hat, and no cattle.
In fact, I would say that is the standard, the rule, if you will,

Points to DeSantis in ‘28.
I Don't trust DeSantis. He won't be my first, second, or third choice for '28.
From the Get-Go he got in bed with the Bushes, the Globalists, and the GOP-E.
I don't trust him further that I can throw him.

Never have cared what the no-credentials, no experience other than “mom blogger” had to say about anything. She just traded on her looks and sharp tongue.

Securing the border is a fairly moderate belief that even democrats ran on not too many years ago. They didn’t do anything about it because they hate America but they did “agree” with the premise.

Showing that Mark Levin's motivation was to have an inside influence with an anticipated Ted Cruz administration. Dirty swamp deep state intrigue at its worst.

Most?
I don’t know who you’d regard as further right than Trump, at this point.

He’d be a good straight man in this act if it were comedy. In this case think of him as good cop.

Glenn Beck and Thomas Sowell have publicly recanted.
As Thomas Klingenstein says, "It’s time for Republicans, including those who doubt him or even can’t stand him, to get behind him. The times demand it.."

"I Don't trust DeSantis."
I'm from Florida, and I am very grateful for Governor DeSantis. I agree with every decision he has made, and am grateful for them. I judge people by their actions. How is he in bed with the Bushes, the Globalists, and the GOP-E. They may have supported him because he was the only viable alternative to Trump. It doesn't mean he was "in bed with them."
