There was a post on FR from Gateway/Breitbart of the reaction by the #NeverTrump movement to the DNC. They were fawning over it. In fact, Rush Limbaugh talked about how the media played this convention off and the #NeverTrumpers went along with the narrative:
Drive-Bys Celebrate: Democrats Sounded Like God-Loving, Patriotic Republicans!

I will point out another one separate from the Breitbart/Gateway Pundit article = Ana Navarro. This is a long time token Republican on CNN. She was on CNN before they started adding other Republicans.
For the record, she was a Jeb! supporter, is friends with the Bush family, and got invited on the Romney retreat. She is walking, talking proof that the establishment RINOs care more about the status quo and getting along than they do about fighting for conservative values. She is not the only NeverTrumper to praise this convention, but I find her particularly interesting because she personally knows Bushes/Romneys.
Here are some of her tweets from the Dem convention:
~Listening to Kaine now...Make no mistake about it, @timkaine will be a hell of a good surrogate for @HillaryClinton w/Hispanics. He gets it.
~Kaine just promised to work on immig reform in 1st 100 days. Promised it in Eng & Español. Before we get too excited, Obama promised same...
~I can't find one single snarky or negative thing to say about @timkaine speech right now. That's a first for me. 😱
Really? He "gets it?" He "gets" what? He's a Democrat speaking Spanish and promising amnesty which, if you are a Republican, you wouldn't want because you would know it would be the end of the Republican Party.
~There are more black people singing in this choir on the stage at DNC Convention right now, than were black delegates to Trump Convention.
Liberal identity politics.
Why am I a Democrat? Because I aspire to a bigger tent, more people, more diversity and a little salsa music at RNC?
Because your Twitter feed is one big bash of the RNC and one big praise of the DNC.
~Contrast in the diversity/inclusion at DNC vs RNC is striking in delegates, donors, speakers, entertainment. My GOP has a lot of work to do.
The Democrats pander to various groups. The Republicans are about ideas, not a race. The bottom line is this, why is there so much work to do? You had George Bush, you had McCain, you had Romney, and how did the Republicans do with minorities then? A very small percentage of black people voted for McCain or Romney. Hispanics went for Obama in overwhelming margins too.
~Damn, y'all. @CoryBooker that is what you call speechifying.
~2016 is so weird, we even got to hear speeches by Michelle Obama on the opening night at both political conventions.
I see the joke, but it wasn't nice as all but a few lines of Melania's speech were original.
~Way to go, @CNN! Maybe DNC better rated cuz they didn't scare beejeezus out of us...& celebrities from this decade.
Yes, let's lie and pretend all is okay because it makes us feel better. If you are a Republican, you feel the country is going in the wrong direction after Obama. Of course Dems will pretend everything is wonderful - they want a third term!
~My sister @donnabrazile just preached at #DNCinPHL right now. So damn proud of her. I love me some Donna. If u don't, talk to my palm. ✋🏼✋🏼
~Folks, we know his history. We all know the man has his human flaws -giant ones- but hard not to think @billclinton loves Hillary.
Gag!
~So many Democratic Party recognizable figures stumping for Hillary in media & all over Philly. Sharp contrast from Trump Convention.
~You can't walk 200 ft at #DNCinPHL w/o running into some Dem Senator or Gov. In Cleveland's Trump Convo, not even ones from Ohio showed up!
Yes, that is true. Democrats circle their wagons. Our RINOs and purists stamp their feet if they don't win.
~My name is Ana Navarro, and I am a Republican with celebrity envy.
The hell? I'm younger than her, and I don't bemoan the fact that we don't have Hollywood liberals performing at our convention.
~Hell of a contrast from tone in Cleveland. There we got fear, gloom, doom. @VP just preached hopeful optimism, American exceptionalism. USA!
And you, a Republican, believed it (juxtaposing their policies with their rhetoric)?
~Bloomberg giving master cooking class at DNC. He's cutting, dicing, slicing, cubing, mashing and frying Trump. And making soup w/the bones.
Were there any anti-Hillary speeches you described in such a way?
~If u don't like to hear Spanish spoken in the US, u might want to mute ur tv now. Tim Kaine is at the podium. El hombre sabe hablar Español.
She whined about the fact that Trump didn't say anything pandering to legal immigrants in his "dark" convention speech. She literally was hyperventilating along with Van Jones after. Jeffrey Lord was looking at them like they were nuts.
~"Somos americanos todos." We are all Americans. Yes, we are.
~Kaine: "Hillary Clinton and I somos compañeros de alma." Thayer means soul mates, y'all.
How cute! Gag.
~4 years ago, Explainer in Chief, Bill Clinton, gave a hell of a speech boosting Barack Obama. Tonight, Barack Obama returned the favor.
~Waking up in Philly. While I slept, did Trump invite any other US foe to cyberattack us? Want to make sure I'm keeping up w/his absurdities.
~Context for u: GOP nominee invited our greatest geo-political foe to hack his opponent's/former Sec State's emails.
She isn't thinking because they can't hack a server that no longer exists.
She then responds to someone who says they consider themselves a Republican in exile who only supports conservative candidates by saying, "Me too!" Keep that in mind.
~Watching Sarah McBride, first transgender woman to address a convention. All I want to know is, who does her eyebrows.
~Oof! The father of the Muslim Captain who lost his life defending our country is taking down Trump in an epic way. Powerful. Respect to him.
I don't know, but I wonder if she gave respect to Benghazi mother and how she affected Hillary.
~The one gaping hole in this convention had been national security. The fight against ISIS. They are filling it tonight. Very, very powerful.
No conservative would compliment the fact they brought some rhetoric up on night 4 especially in light of their terrible record fighting ISIS and the fact ISIS became powerful because they pulled out of Iraq too soon.
~Optics of Gen. Allen making impassioned endorsement of Hillary Clinton while surrounded by Vets from Afghanistan & Iraq is damn strong.
~Don't lose sight of fact that a Marine General calling for more engagement to defeat ISIS had this entire arena cheering & chanting "USA!"
So what? Are we supposed to give them a medal for doing what they should do? You realize it's only shocking because they are Democrats. The Republican Convention was rife with calls to take down ISIS.
~This Katy Perry concert disguised as a political convention was pretty good, y'all.
~I'm a cynic. Never been a believer in the "woman narrative". But seeing 1st woman nominee is stirring something in me. Not quite sure what.
~I'm happy I will be able to tell the generations that come behind us, I was there July 28th, 10:47pm when 1st woman made history.
Oh, come on. No conservative would be excited about this. She got there by staying in a power marriage and through corruption. We'd be happy to see a woman, but not THIS woman.
~Hillary's not an orator at level of Bill Clinton, Obama, Biden or Michelle Obama. But she is holding her own and delivering tonight.
Good Lord. Even some Democrats weren't that impressed with her speech. It's interesting that the #NeverTrumpers liked it.
~America, we have starkly different choices in front of us. This speech was very different from Trump. Policy laden. Unifying. Humanizing.
First of all, yes we do. Second of all, Trump's speech contained policy just like Hillary. They both said what they plan to do. Trump listed the problems and said how he would fix them. Hillary elaborated on how she would stay the course. No Republican would look at the policies in Hillary's speech and be complimentary. The unifying platitudes would be seen for what they are, empty rhetoric that makes you feel good but doesn't fix a thing.
She has been getting hundreds to thousands of retweets on this stuff, and I'll tell you, the majority of these people are Democrats who LOVE that a "Republican" is praising up their candidate. Some of them in the comments keep asking her if she is going to vote for Hillary. They are asking her in the tone of how a child might ask her mother if she's going to buy her a puppy. Are you going to vote for her? Are you? Are you? Pleeassse vote for her!
To be honest, I hope she does. For the record, she claimed she was a Republican before Trump and will be one after, but that was before her fawning over Hillary's speech. I hope she switches to the Democrat party too. It muddies the waters when we have Republicans like this supporting the establishment and praising up Democrats. It would be easier if they joined the Democrats.
Last one:
~At #DNCinPHL @SenJohnMcCain got unified applause for his service to country. I don't think that would have happened at Trump convention.
She can't be serious! John McCain was used as an attack point against Trump. She has to know they only brought him up because of Trump's comment. They really loved McCain in 2008, didn't they? Besides, there were people in the convention hall protesting the Panetta and other military members on stage. No comments on that from her at all.
Besides that, John McCain was INVITED to the convention and didn't go. Had he come, you can darn well bet he would have gotten an applause. Idiotic comment by her.
Why the pretense that she’s not a lefty? Why the pretense that she cares about anything fundamentally important?
She has been one of the token Republicans on CNN for years. She knows the Bushes and Romneys - supported both actually. She uses her position as a Republican on CNN to trash Trump. The only speech she really liked at the RNC was Paul Ryans.
——~There are more black people singing in this choir on the stage at DNC Convention right now, than were black delegates to Trump Convention.——
Given the presence of BLM, One could comment there is a heavy black stain on the DNC convention.
The tweets would make you gag if they were written by a Democrat, but when they are written by a supposed Republican....
Thank you for your rebuttal.
Her tweets are vomit-inducing.
Bet she’s a “principled Conservative”. What principles they’re talking about no one ever bothers to say.
Crooked Hillary
Ana Navarro is more of an airhead than Megan McCain. What a useless moron.
btw Navarro is the girlfriend of this ancient dude who owns the Biltmore Hotel in Miami which a haunt of Jeb and Jeb style Miami Republicans
I suspect all of the #NeverTrump crowd personally know the Bushes, and the Romney clan too.
Now we know why the Republican Party is loathed by the base.
They talk like conservatives but govern like Democrats.
Anna Navarro dispenses with the fig leaf altogether.
The uniparty are all happy liberals.
Now we understand too, why #NeverTrumpers loathe Trump - its not about ideology.
Its about sharing the corrupt spoils in Washington.
He knows our political and media class better than they know themselves.
All exposed for who they are. I used to think Michael Savage was a crank and hated how he bashed Republicans. It is amazing to see how completely right he was all along. Savage was dead on.
"So, Obama was elected, twice, with 80% of the "minority" vote, and specifically 98% of the black vote. And you agree that that result confers legitimacy on his office, correct? Even though he won only 41% of the white vote, whites being a majority of voters in the country, correct?"
(they answer, "yes, of course")
"Now, just suppose, as a theoretical exercise, a Presidential contender was elected with 80% of the white vote and specifically 98% of the strongly evangelical vote. Don't worry, it's just a thought experiment. Now, such a candidate would obviously win all 50 states and 535 of the 538 electoral votes. Would you agree that such a result would confer legitimacy on that President's office? Why or why not?"
The Uni-party is alive and well. Roger Stone destroyed this open borders fraud.
Navarro is a Cheap Labor Express propagandist.
The only thing that matters to them is preventing the citizens from electing anyone who would stop the illegal alien inundation.
She got her panties in a wad over something Roger Stone said, and got him exiled from CNN. Its a safe bet that whatever he said, it was accurate. I can think of quite a few ban-worthy comments myself.
