One of the less expected of Trumps accomplishment is exposing beyond debate that a sizeable number of Replubican pundits and politicians actively wanted to lose.
Ping! Everything Kurt says is spot on but just know, if we burn down the leftist monster in this country, it will be a war like no other. The leftists have plenty of useful idiot fodder to throw at us.

I LOVE when Kurt fills in for that sissy Hugh Hewitt!
Today they are called never-Trumpers, yesterday they were called RINO’s. Before that just plain Republicans. I recall the early Bush years just waiting and waiting and waiting for push back and it never came. Republicans would promise one thing to get a vote, then do the opposite and we’d all scratch our heads and wonder why.
What Trump did was get the MSM and never-Trumpers/RINOs out in the open and make it very clear they are all un-Amerian traitors.
God I miss William Buckley.

If they call you “racist” you must submit, so says David French.
Heh. “Priss Platoon”, love it.
My personal favorite #NeverTrump line is, “He isn’t presidential.”
Followed by, “He needs to stop tweeting!”
Many Establishment Republicans are Intellectual Wannabes first, and Conservatives second. Approval from their Deep State friends, neighbors, and relatives is more important to them than winning on Conservative principles. They are more happy to be the Quisling minority than standing up to the new Socialists in the Democrat Party. These people are not our friends and they are not looking out for the country.
Never Trumpers should be called what they are, Collaborators.
“David French is the poster-scold for the Surrender Caucus”
No one had ever heard of this miserable little quisling until the Jonah Goldberg National Review selected him to replace the equally unknown Egg McMuffin. Evan McMullin. Whatever.
This reminds me how exposure of Jeff Session as Judas took me totally off-guard.
While I think a lot of what Kurt Schlichter says about Never Trumpers is correct, I don’t think his analysis of people like French fully captures what’s going on with them.
I haven’t bothered to read most of French’s idiocy, but I gather he was dismissive of the theories that the Deep State had illegally meddled in the election 2016 (and continued to do things even after) and was saying Devin Nunes should stop digging to find out what had happened. He thought there was something wrong with Nunes, and all those who thought he was on to something.
What I’m saying is, French and other Never Trumpers don’t have all their marbles. It’s not just being wimps or identifying with the establishment, although that may be a part of it.
The fact is most of them don’t have both oars in the water, and many of their statements, including those of French, clearly reflect that. People who keep taking the arguments they come up with seriously, such as out of the blue formulating all these new rules for what conservatism is, and trying to respond in some logical fashion, don’t get that. They should just be dismissed as the loons that they are.
