Why I Changed My Mind and Joined the #NeverTrump Movement
DAVID FRENCH March 2, 2016
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.
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.” This language will never — not ever — unite the conservative movement. While my own military service can’t compare to the sacrifices and courage of the true American heroes of the Iraq War, I didn’t leave my home and risk my life in the fight against the world’s worst jihadists to vote for a man who apparently believes that I was little more than the stooge of a vast conspiracy to lie our way into war. Moreover, I cannot abide the notion of voting for a man whose “war strategy” is a child-killing war crime and who said out loud that more bombs plus..........

Enough said....
National review going after the liberal Democrat readership
Berlin, Germany?
Why hasn't this guy changed his name to David Freedom?
I was the opposite but I want conservative SC justices. I know what Hildabeast will nominate, I’d rather gamble that Trump will nominate someone conservative.
But, more than last time, this time I’ll not only hold my nose but throw up afterwards.
NeveR NR.
Hashtag movements are for liberals and low t beta males.
The man is right.
We could not dream up a more horrible candidate if we tried.
That’s well said. I am not a nevertrump guy. He’ll get my vote, but the case against Trump has been made since mid January as he drifted into crackpot leftwinger on issue after issue. He’s got good points and bad, but these events moved me permanently out of Trump’s camp for the primary. I fully understand this man’s justification. The only thing I will challenge him on and others is whether his views on life and on middle eastern efforts will be better served by Trump or by Hillary. The answer is simple. It’s easily Trump by a mile.
Oh, how shocking. A National Review author who would never vote for Trump. Never seen one of those before. What a powerful and brave stance.
My guess is between “then” and “now”, a nice fat globalist paycheck cleared and French “saw the light”.
Cretins.
Ronald Reagan has words for you.
“A man who is 75-80% on my side is a valued Friend and Ally, not my enemy”.
Curious also Mr French.
What in the last 40 years have any GOP President done to stop the ever increasing number of Abortions?
I know this falls on deaf ears at Team Cruz but the fact remains, We are a Constitutional Republic that rests on the notion that the people’s Representatives in Government know how to compromise and negotiate.
This notion that Cruz will ride into DC and dictate his 100%er terms to everyone else there is simply wishful thinking.
Really think Clinton, “Cult of Sanger and Abortion”, is going to REDUCE the number of abortions or is she going to do things that will massively increase them?
This “Never Trump” meme is the behavior of petulant children looking to spite everyone because their desires were not granted. It has nothing at all to do with anything resembling principals or reason.
YOU ARE NOT FIGHTING TRUMP
YOU ARE FIGHTING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE VOTING FOR TRUMP
People really don’t like to change their freeper names.
If I could go back, I would never have chosen ‘altura.’
But why should he and what business is it of anybody’s what his name is.
I like it. So many names her are just a bunch of letters that you can’t understand.

So they won’t support Trump because he will fund PP but only without abortions but he’s OK with the establishment who has funded for the last how many years including in the last budget. These guys lie so much. It’s all about power for them and they’re scared because they can’t control someone who doesn’t need their money

Because you're a cuckservative who wants open borders and amnesty, even if it takes Hillary to do it?
