WOW! I was waiting to find out who Derek Hunter was going to vote for,now I can cast my ballot!
Not Trump. He still gives rambling speeches with little focus and spends far too much time defending himself against insignificant slights when he should be focusing on policy (though his ethics reform proposal is excellent and will irritate all the people in Washington who need to be irritated)...
To me this smacks of an attempt to rehabilitate some relevance before the full measure of a dishonest "principled conservatism" stand is totally erased by a Trump landslide. To me, this smacks of trying to retain future relevancy and reputation that makes a nicely feathered bed.
The fact is that his one "I just gotta do it because blah, blah, blah" vote is pitifully insignificant in the coming tsunami of REJECTION of elitist establishment ideals and actions.
“No, what’s changed is me. Not through introspection and reflection, but through watching the sickening display of activism perpetrated by a covert army with press credentials.”
Folks, a NeverTrumper has a responsible change of heart!

Trump, the guy the self-righteous love to hate. At least Hunter is smart enough in the final hour to not throw his vote away. Hallelujah!
While these articles from NeverTrump people seem self-righteous, I’ll take the support to stop Hillary any way I can.
I expect more of these in the next two weeks and however strained the argument, if it causes Republican fence sitters to vote for Trump, even if they have to convince themselves they are voting against Hillary, that’s better in the long run.
admitted sanctimonious self righteousist perot voter admits electing clinton
Last time a Clinton was on the ballot, I voted for Ross Perot. My vote didn’t deny Bob Dole the White House...
I am voting FOR Trump just like I voted FOR Reagan. These self righteous douchebag late comers should STHU and just vote.
Good article.
I wish to hell someone of these people will specifically point out what the hell they have an issue with Trump over with respect to ISSUES.
IF ANY of the other candidates were nominated, Hillary would be way ahead of them. NONE of them would have had the testicles to attack her on issues of character or her sordid defective past. They ALL would take the traditional “high road” to defeat. Further, they would never have called out the special interests Trump demonstrated control elections.
Rubio even advised against making the Wikileaks data an issue!!
“He still gives rambling speeches with little focus and spends far too much time defending himself against insignificant slights when he should be focusing on policy “
Another flat out lie from someone who hasn’t been paying attention. These people based their hatred of Trump on lies and misrepresentation.
Pretty good article. He nails the problem...
The Project Vertias videos exposed a corrupt political machine journalists would have been proud to expose in the past. The Wikileaks emails pulled back the curtain on why that didn’t happen – journalists are in on it.
Another great Trump non-endorsement by a self-described conservative. At this late point Derek is still to blame for Hillary’s supreme court and everything else.
And what’s this BS he’s trying to shovel with “I have to do all I can do” while excusing nevertrumpers? He can surely do a lot more. Maybe he can make a list of specific things we’ll permanently associate with specific nevertrumpers.
While everything Hillary does will be the fault of every conservative/republican who hasn’t aggressively advocated for Trump the last few month (think where he’d be if he wasn’t fighting his own party) I think we can single out specific individuals and personally decide to give them direct blame for specific future results
Will - destruction of the 1st amendment
Kristol - anti-abortion supreme court
Romney - single-payer health care
Ryan - destruction of the 2nd amendment
McCain - a diminished military
...
Derek can promise that every time a conservative principle falls he’ll write another article pointing back to his Oct 2016 article assigning blame. When the court decides the 1st amendment is dead he can write 1000’s of words blaming George Will and listing everything Will did to get Hillary elected. Sure the blame will fall on all of them for each issue but we can make sure the worst know that they will be specifically called out with individual focus at some point in the future to remind everyone how they personally helped elect Hillary. No more hiding behind some almost-anonymous group of nevertrumpers or a vague mumbling of not being able to differentiate between “Hillary’s message” vs “Trumps message”. Name them and give them a specific issue where Trump & Hillary differ.
We can list dozens of things we know will happen with 8 years of Queen Hillary and not even need to include her corruption. But they’re happy to accept those because of Trump’s temperament (or maybe immigration). They’d rather have Hillary and everything she brings than get on Trumps side - where they may be able to influence him. Trump has learned and changed. Has listened to the “right people” (Sessions, Gingrich, etc). Has got the right people to make his supreme court lists. And so many “conservatives” prefer Hillary and will not be in position to influence Trump if they fail to get Hillary elected.
A silly article like Derek wrote may make him feel better and let him tell himself that it’s not his fault if Hillary wins. But it’s meaningless - he should’ve just written in personally diary so he can look back every time he needs to feel better about the destruction of the country and tell himself that it’s not his fault. At least I will still be blaming him along with the others.
IF you have to convince anyone to vote for Trump ,at this point in the race, America is already lost.
Don’t vote Trump you get Hillary. You get at to totally tip the USC to the loony left. If not gun confiscation definitely more gun restrictions, more of your tax dollars going towards every wacko left-wing enterprize including abortion. And trillions more in debt with NOTHING to show for it!
More solar scams, More regulations, more executive orders, corruption like you have never seen, more propagandist media,more terrorism, more racial tensions?, more invaders, more power to groups like BLM, and you get to pay for it.
Not to mention we get to listen to the hags bellowing voice for the next 4, 8?, years?
Yep, vote for ‘consciences’ you never Trump geniuses.
The money quote. Spot on.
“I oppose much of what Donald Trump has said”
Like what?
I’m more or less in the same camp. I’ll vote for him.
I can’t stand Donald Trump. I don’t trust him to push his very good supply-side tax reform package, his good supreme court nominees, or anything else good he is proposing.
I consider him a liberal with a very bad temperament.
But he might do some things right. Hillary is 100% guaranteed to do everything horribly, horribly wrong, in a way that will be very hard to reverse.
Better late than never but anyone who doesn’t/hasn’t felt compelled to vote Trump is singing with the scarecrow...”If I only had a brain...”
Nothing in there about the two candidates’ positions on the issues. That’s my basis for voting for Trump.
