We have a new arm of the Republican party, the #NeverTrump camp. Membership requires only that you are unhappy with the apparent presidential nominee and wish to send a message, although at this juncture it’s unclear exactly who you’re sending it to.
Membership thus far includes George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, Gov. Bruce Rauner, and John McCain. Still on the fence: Speaker Ryan. He says he’s not ready to endorse Trump yet.
You know who I bet is ready to endorse Trump? Paul’s primary opponent, Paul Nehlen:
He’s running his own Dump campaign:
The #NeverTrump camp expresses a wide range of issues with Trump: he blew up their son’s/brother’s campaign, they find him too coarse, they think he’s going to cost them the votes of illegal immigrants they were counting on…the reasons are many and varied.
Often cited are rock solid conservative principles – principles as we’ve seen are likely to be set aside as soon as your candidate is entrenched in office anyway. Butt sitting home on your principles or voting for a candidate from the other party whose principles you also don’t support seems, at best, counterproductive. Worse, it makes you a member of the #HillaryByProxy cabal.
Now available in the MOTUS store! Get them before they’re gone, the Bush family ordered 100 gross.
It is an unfortunate fact of life in general and politics in particular that we often must choose between the lesser of two evils. I am aware that many intellectual luminaries have opined that choosing between two evils is still choosing evil. Among the enlightened is chief Dead Head Jerry Garcia (RIP):
Do you vote? No. Why? I don't feel there's anything to vote for yet. Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil. – Rolling Stone, 1989
I would take issue with the wisdom of such inaction. And if you’re to follow the advice of an old, dead, amoral celebrity on such a critical issue I would suggest you at least consider that of Mae West:
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
In fact, I think that might make a great slogan for the Trump campaign:

Oh, that’s good. ;)
I wonder what it will be like to be an “Anti-Trump GOPe” politician in Washington DC during the 8 years of a Trump administration?
Nehlen was on Fox Business with Varney a half hour or so ago and Varney could not get him to say he supported Trump, he yammered on and on but would not commit to Trump
Let’s keep those postcards flowing... to Paul Ryan (and our local reps and senators)... Every Monday until Ryan and all the others are “ready” to support Trump.
It’s not over until Trump is actually the Republican nominee, not just the “presumptive” nominee. Everyone stay focused, and keep voting Trump in the remaining primaries. Keep focused until February 2017.
