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..........

Unfortunately, it’s not. Trump has said he’d de-fund PP because of abortion. He says the other part to not alienate people not as adamant as us.
__________________________________________________________
He has used weasel words he has bought into the myth that abortion is a small part of their business, he is trying to create a false seperation between their abortion business and their other unnamed valuable servicem which BTW non of his supporters here can articulate.
BTW what happened to the bold non PC guy who tells it like it is.
This is the guy who knowingly fleeced middle class rubes with his Trump U scam THAT is who this guy is and has always been. Now a big part of the country is going to get the Trump U education on being suckers and getting screwed out of your dreams.
He is a salesman who like some of the sleazier salesmen will lie with a smile to close the deal.
8 years of an affirmative action imposter. Now the people rise up and choose thier guy, the numbers the GOP have not seen since reagen and everyone including the criminal GOP want him out. Mind numbing but understood, the GOP lose the keys to the small candystore next to the big candystore the rats own now
>> the true battle for our country isn’t political, it’s cultural and spiritual. In an era where fidelity and integrity are in increasingly short supply — with the breakdown of faith and family the chief factors in the struggles among America’s most vulnerable citizens — how can I responsibly cast a vote to give one of the nation’s foremost cultural platforms to a man who has openly, loudly, and unrepentantly bragged of his adulterous sexual conquests? . . . Our nation can survive lost elections, but over the long term it cannot survive a decayed culture. And by God I won’t vote for a man who takes a wrecking ball to the core values I hold dear <<
Very well put. Thanks, Mr. French.
If you go find and watch their super tuesday speeches you will see that I am absolutely correct.
Let me guess -to keep your job?
I’m on the never Trump team. I do not support Planned Butcherhood democrats.
I support conservatives. Trump's not a conservative. Trump's not pro-life. Trump supports single payer. If you want to fight the establishment, then send someone better - not worse. You Trumpeters are just as bad as GOP-e - if not worse.
Is that you Mitt?
Voted Santorum in 2012. Try again.
