‘Never Trumpers’ are close to giving up hope
The Hill ^ | 1/23/24 | NIALL STANAGE

Posted on 01/23/2024 12:16:50 PM PST by cotton1706

Talk of political self-immolation or a party requiring decades to get back on track may seem hyperbolic to some.

But it’s understandable when looking at the past four years through the lens of the so-called “Never Trumpers.”

The 45th president lost the 2020 election, trailing President Biden by about 7 million votes. He made repeated and false claims of election fraud, in the process fueling the violence of Jan. 6, 2021. He continues to push those falsehoods.

He was impeached for his role in Jan. 6 — becoming the only president in American history to be twice impeached. Over the course of 2023, he was indicted four times. He faces 91 criminal charges. Separately, in a civil trial last May, he was found liable for the sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll.

Despite all this, he is sweeping everything before him on his way to the GOP nomination.

Trump’s 30-point victory in the Jan. 15 Iowa caucuses drove Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) out of the race.

On Sunday, DeSantis endorsed Trump.

Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley needs a major surprise in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary if she is to just remain viable until her home-state primary in South Carolina on Feb. 24.

No he didn't. Biden had 20 million fake votes. Trump won that election with the largest vote total in US history.

"The Hill" is just another source of lies.

“The Shill” is a more appropriate name.

Yes. The Hill is repeating the Democrat’s big lie. Drip by drip evidence of the election steal is leaking through the blockade of the Soros paid propaganda machine.

The 45th president lost the 2020 election …
Stop lying, Niall.

And he ruined my joke too, based on his headline. Well, not my joke but Groucho’s, to a contestant on You Bet Your Life:
Groucho: Are you married?

Male contestant: Well, not yet, but I haven’t given up hope.

Groucho: Have ya given up Crosby?
Obviously an allusion to Bob Hope and Bing Crosby . . . but I always think of this joke when I read headlines of people giving up hope, particularly phonies like the never-Trumpers; a bit of levity always helps.

We should be inviting them to join us, rather than denigrating them. Most will not, but a few might. We will need every vote possible in November.

Biden needed only 40,000 votes in purple state to secure a electoral win.

They just love to quote the popular vote, but that 7 million Biden vote margin was in just two states. We don’t let California and New York run the country, thankfully. The electoral vote was much, much closer.

“We should be inviting them to join us, rather than denigrating them”

“Those who wish to join us in all sincerity, we welcome. Those who do not favor our cause we don’t expect to enter our ranks in any case.” - Barry Goldwater 1964

If the last three years of Biden hasn’t convinced these types to vote for the Republican nominee, whoever it is, then nothing will. They are lost.
