Republicans opposed to President Trump are quietly preparing to support Democratic front-runner Joe Biden, backing that could materialize in the primary as he attempts to fend off a surging Elizabeth Warren.
Some Republican operatives active in Never Trump circles are discussing what form support for Biden might take and the timing. Groups such as Stand Up Republic, co-founded by prominent Never Trump Republicans Evan McMullin and Mindy Finn, could target disaffected GOP voters in key micro-battlegrounds with finely tailored advertising in a bid to boost Biden in the Democratic primary.
Biden, 76, is the most likely Democrat to receive measurable support from the Never Trump crowd, most of whom quickly concluded that the president does not face a realistic threat from the three Republicans challenging him in the GOP primary in 2020.
“Biden is probably the only plausible candidate the Never Trumpers could support,” said Jim Dornan, a Republican operative in Washington who maintains relationships with anti-Trump Republicans.
How a Warren nomination might impact the Never Trump movement, and its participation in the 2020 campaign, is unclear.
Some Republicans in this community, who believe Warren’s policies are a different sort of extreme than Trump but equally dangerous to the country, might channel their opposition into helping one of the president’s long shot primary challengers or get behind an independent candidacy, should one develop. Other Never Trump Republicans insist that the label means exactly that.

I remember “Egg McMuffin.”
He was going to be Bill Kristol’s great white hope to keep Trump out of the White House. This was right after Bill’s first potential savior & Blogger David French decided not to jump into the fray.
Can these guys be anything other than wrong? Bite me isn’t gonna be the nominee.
Whenever Bill Kristol is involved, Vincent Price's laughter is an appropriate response.
McMullin and Finn were Bill Kristol's candidates to challenge Trump, after Trump won the nomination. Its a bit of a stretch to call them prominent when their prominence was showing how irrelevant Bill Kristol had become. Finn was so important voters found out she was McMullin's running mate until after the election.
Looks like Kristol wants to get invited back to all the parties he's missed, and pretending he's important again.
It’s just a typo, then said “never Trumpers” but they meant to write “never conservatives.”
I can’t believe anyone of any political pursuasion could watch Biden pawing little girls and still vote for that creepy creature.
what complete sickos!
Today is the first time I’ve ever heard of Mindy Finn.
At first I thought someone was talking about a
“Micky Finn”, aka the old phrase ‘Slipping somebody a Micky” or (Date Rape drug).
Yawn...
Never Trumpers backing Gropin Joe is a good thing. Their actions prove they’re as dumb as he is.
Mindy Finn ran as Egg McMuffin’s VP in the 2016 Presidential election.
They actually received 21% of the vote in Utah, which ought to serve as a warning about the Utah GOP voter. It’s identity politics when a McMuffin-Finn magic underwear ticket garners that number of votes.
“Never Trump means what it says: Never Trump. Under no circumstances can you embrace that man coming back to the White House,” countered Jerry Taylor, who runs the Niskanen Center, a centrist Washington think tank that has become a gathering spot for anti-Trump Republicans. “Most Never Trump Republicans that I traffic with are of the mind that any electoral outcome that doesn’t return Donald Trump to the White House is a good outcome, save for the wild card of Bernie Sanders.”

That these people find Warren or Beto or Kamala acceptable tells you how mentally ill they are. They’d accept gun grabbers or candidates talking about outright confiscation of wealth says these people are willing to destroy their own lives because they hate Trump. And they claim to be conservatives. Sure.
Jerry Taylor and the what’s it’s nuts of Never Trump are lunatics that’d see the nation go to it’s death under the communist Biden?
Good, more losers to scream at the sky come 2025!

You're a reprobate given over to evil.
The Never Trump wing of the democrat party
Way to go Mittens and McMuffin
#NeverTRUMP is DEAD, It is probably just 5% of Republicans now
That is why I am so confident TRUMP will win reelection
WOKE #NeverTRUMPers will deliver States MI, WI & PA pretty easily to TRUMP
Nobody gives a damn about these slimy crapweasels. Just another excuse to write about betrayers and scoundrels who work for deep state interests. Tomorrow we get another article on something Jennifer Rubin says.
Supporting Biden is like betting on an old nag one race away from the glue factory. And Hollywood doesn’t get to write the script.
I thought it was a snapshot from Reservoir Dogs.
