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..........

You end abortion by changing minds. Not by making deals.
I don’t disagree with you on that.
Let us not despair then FRiend.
No despair here!
So why do you need to be President to change minds?
I posted a link for people who care, to see what is going on. I have not yet decided.
Because it helps?
Not the purpose of the President.
In your opinion.
Cutting deals will never end abortion.
So how is Cruz going to get Congress to to enact legislation so he can sign to end abortions, defund PP, etc. Is he just going to will it and it will happen? Last time I checked Legislation must pass through Congress, of which Cruz is not very liked. How is he going to get the others to play ball with what he wants done? I guess he will just don on the Armor of Christ and Congress will just be filled with Holy Spirit and accept that God appointed Cruz to his position and pass his legislation without contest?
You can mock Christian belief with your guesses but that and making deals definitely will not end abortion.
Was there something else I can help you with before you sink further?
Trump says “we”.
Cruz says “I”.
You got that backwards. Trump-ME, ME, ME!!! Cruz-US, US, US!!! WE THE PEOPLE!
I am glad to hear that because it sickened me.
Still didn’t answer how Cruz was going to accomplish this? How is Cruz going to get his agenda passed through Congress?
Yes, I mocked the guy that used God as means to further his political career.
What a pack of manure from a Paid Robert Mercer smear PAC troll.
Can t we stop with the phony outsider garbage cooked up at a Madison Avenue PR by His Goldman Sachs - Wall Street handlers .
Teddy is a DC Fat cat lawyer insider .
He and his wife are just another greedy - power hungry amoral DC couple.
Ted and Heidi help created and ram thru that Tpp treason Treaty which destroys the US constitution .
They are Goldman Sachs puppets and Hedge Fund Tax cheat Robert Mercer funds there Ugly Smear Ad campaign.
Ted Cruz is nothing more than a very nasty liar who depends in paid astroturfers like you to keep peddling the Big ‘outsider’ lie.
National Review? Gimme a break... they all hate Trump and Trump’s supporters and have from day one.
Cuckadoodledoo!
“Side with Gopes and libs. Whatever it takes.”
And that’s all we need to know from you.
Just Gope puppets.

Another trumpanzee who can’t support his candidate on PP.
What valuable service do they provide, this isn’t available at non abortion slaughterhouses???????
Come on don’t be such a gutless pussy.
Sounds more like he’s been CALLED ON HIS LIE to support Trump, if he won the nomination fair and square.
EXPECTED by this bunch. NO ONE anywhere near the nominating process EVER expected Trump to get this far. They were ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that we would ‘come to our senses’, and support yet another Open Borders candidate that seems more happy ‘losing with class’, rather than winning.
The Jews in Germany also thought they would be left alone if they ‘played nice’ with the people that despised them.
