Never-Trump Grift Is Back: Republican Accountability Project Is Even More Tone Deaf, Ridiculous, and Irrelevant
PJ Media ^ | 27 Ap 2021 | Stacey Lennox

As someone who once considered myself Never Trump, I feel well qualified to comment on the activities of those who still cling to that label after the 2020 election. For rational people who are not trying to cling to accumulated power or trying to recover their influence, Never Trump was over on election night 2016. It was either going to be President Clinton II or President Trump, and in hindsight, I am glad it was the latter.

Did I love every tweet? No. However, I did find some of the reactions to them hysterical. And no matter what I thought of President Trump’s style, it was difficult to argue with the substance of his administration. As a kid, I never doubted that President Reagan put America and the West’s safety, prosperity, and security first. If you listened to President Trump and his advisors and tracked what they did, the principles were the same even if specific policies were different. Enthusiastically, I pulled the lever for a second term, which was pretty easy to do without compromising on much.

The chronic Never-Trump crew could never bring themselves to agree with Trump on anything. Not even policies they had long said they supported. Instead, Never Trump turned to straight-up grift with sites like The Bulwark financed by liberal donors and groups like The Lincoln Project, which convinced those same donors they could bring significant Republican support to opposing Trump. That did not happen, and President Trump’s Republican support increased in 2020. Now the Lincoln Project is reduced to celebrating getting a childish nickname for Senator Ted Cruz to trend on Twitter:

“As someone who once considered myself Never Trump” tells me your opinion doesn’t matter to me in the least. REason? Well, never-trump people are the type who disliked his personality and lack of manners and decided based on just this, he was the worst of the worst. Never-trump means you would vote for anyone instead of him. Thus, your brain doesn’t work correctly and thus, your opinion matters not, to me.

It’s all about completing the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico.

Trump was a threat to stop the largest bipartisan project of the last 30 years.

One can assume the goal is to affect the reelection of those they disagree with in the coming cycle. To demonstrate how out of touch Never Trump is with the Republican Party, only 14 congressional GOP members received an ‘A’ grade, and 136 received an ‘F’ from the group. To give you a flavor of who their pet Republicans are, one is Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) in the House. In the Senate, they are fans of Lisa Murkowski (Alaska). Of course, Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) also gets top marks.”

Where in this country was it possible to “pull a lever” in this country on November 3, 2020? If lever machines were still in polling places and mail in ballots limited to absentee status, Donald Trump would be President.

The Lincoln Project’s only hope is to keep Trump relevant so they can attack him. Otherwise, they are just Democrats pretending to be Republicans.

Don’t you get it? He doesn’t like the working class he said it himself that he only wants the Republican Party as the party of wealthy people...he absolutely positively despises the people Trump has brought into to the party if your a small business owner or some nurse working 50 hours a week he hates you and so does the Liz Cheney wing of the party

They hated the Reagan Democrats, the Tea Party, and now the working class Trump supporters.
