A number of prominent Republicans are vowing to never back Donald Trump even as he closes in on the GOP presidential nomination.
The “Never Trump” ranks include lawmakers, party operatives, pundits and GOP donors — and the movement even sparked a popular hashtag on social media.
They are convinced Trump as standard-bearer would lead the GOP to a devastating defeat in November, costing the party the Senate and potentially the House.
The real estate mogul, though, is marching ahead, and now has 994 of the 1,237 delegates needed to capture the nomination, according to the Associated Press.
And there are growing signs many in the GOP establishment are warming to Trump. He’s been endorsed by 11 lawmakers, with others regularly attending Capitol Hill meetings with his staff. Trump has also declared himself the “presumptive nominee.”
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus has criticized the Never Trump movement as well. “It is essential to victory in November that we all support our candidate,” Priebus said at the RNC’s spring meeting.
Trump’s opponents are focused on trying to deny him the delegates needed to secure the nomination in hopes of forcing a contested convention in July.
Here’s a list of Republicans who won’t back Trump as nominee.

“Just because they were outmaneuvered in the delegate hunt.”
I am a bit familiar with how state parties arrange their affairs.
The party bosses determine who the delegates are in those states like Colorado. That cake was baked before Trump ever got into the race. The maneuvering had already been done.
Limbaugh tried to justify it by going all the way back to Lincoln. Very dishonest. There were no primaries back then. The state parties rig there election procedures in order to maintain control, as Limbaugh admitted.
Who needs ANY of these people?
DROP DEAD! They are dead to me, those few that I have ever heard of.
Okay, I guess I missed it, thanks.
What you said :-)
Rush will be a “must listen to” today, unless he unhooks his hearing devices and plays with his iPad Pro and calls in sick.
I feel the same way, I’ll never buy any of his books again.

All you gotta know about Sanford is his grandfather invented sansabelt pants. Falls into the Romney/AMC Gremlin category of Republicanism.
If Hillary is as much a warmonger as Bolton, then she is one heckuva warmonger.

How does George Will have the colossal nerve to trash Trump after he invited Obama to dinner at his house?
Just another petulant shyster willing to kiss the ring and wear his brown nose as a badge of honor...
Obviously, that won't even get him into the green room with Trump!
It has become QUITE AMAZING what Trump has EXPOSED!!! My world has become VERY small through this primary season, ALL of my listening and watching choices HAVE CHANGED but you know what they have changed for the better!!! I hope my NEW choices ratings soar because they deserve to soar!!! I held my nose also and voted McCain, and Romney both candidates I LOATHED!!! The ONLY DAMNED reason I voted McCain was due to Sarah otherwise I would NEVER have voted for him, Obama is a Marxist and Romney as much as I loathed him he was NOT a Marxist!!! NOW THESE BASTARDS have the audacity to tell US the people WE don’t know what is good for us SCREW THEM ALL!!! What
THESE BASTARDS have done to us IS SHAMEFUL and NOW KARMA
