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.

Mindy Finn was Evan McMuffin’s running mate in 2016. I never heard of her before today, either ... which shows how pathetic that stupid campaign was. LOL.
All six of them?
Another reason Biden won’t be it. Never Trumpers can’t pick a winner to save their lives.
2020 The year of Biden-Romney (for the children)
Sure. And you could add the panty-waists from National Review: Kevin Williamson, Goldberg, Nordlinger, Lowry….
Why?
If you vote for a Communist you are a Communist. Quit trying to act like you are something you are not.
And Ben Shapiro.
And Charles Koch.
That foot in Biden’s mouth is there to keep his teeth from falling out, like they did in the last debate.
Suicide is usually a private matter.
They are all hoping that Gropin’ Joe Plugs will reward them with a friendly little grope of their “junk”.
Many Republicans and Democrats espouse principles that are no more than expedient ploys. What they really believe in is a corrupt system that provides them with the opportunity to prosper. It’s the unfortunate reality of politics that dates back to tribal accommodations for governance. The genius of our founding fathers was an effective mechanism that dissipated and counter balanced power to mitigate corruption. That’s the system the people are now being convinced must be destroyed for “the common good”. History tells us that it’s practically inevitable.
And..?
Fake News strikes again!

“Trump is done,” said Republican operative Jim Dornan, who advised the New York businessman in the preparatory stages of his campaign last year. “Barring something completely out of the blue, like Hillary being involved in a murder, I don’t see how he wins.”
This is hilarious and predicable from the always wrong RINO's. Biden is tanking and they are getting on his sinking ship - too funny.
What about prez trumps gun control package? He has been great on foreign policy and great on the border. His bumpstock ban didn’t stop mass shootings, so he will have to do more. Surely criminals are going to suddenly obey the laws.
I am still thinking a ban on murders.

“If it’s just Trump versus an establishment candidate, this would allow the moneyed folks to coalesce around one guy, or woman,” said Jim Dornan, a Republican consultant in Washington.

“I bet if someone offered him $150 million to drop out, he would,” one former Trump adviser told POLITICO, unprompted, during an interview Friday.
Asked about whether Trump would drop, another former Trump adviser, Jim Dornan said he believes the presumptive GOP nominee would cut a deal. “Yeah, probably,” Dornan, a veteran Republican operative who worked for Trump last spring on an abortive effort to set up a super PAC, replied via text message — adding there would be plenty of interest in buying him out. “The Kochs would be the first in line.”
Trump himself says it’s a ridiculous proposition and that he’s not a fan of the question.
“This story is a total fabrication from you and POLITICO, as usual,” the New York billionaire said in an email sent by his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. “I will never leave the race, nobody has enough money to pay me to leave the race, and if they did, it would be totally illegal anyway. Did Obama and the Clintons get you to write this garbage?”
