List of Republicans Who Vow to Never Support Donald Trump
Stumpin for Trump ^ | 5/3/2016 | Missannie

Posted on 05/03/2016 9:54:10 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

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.

Poor babies. Their party is just about over. “Turn out the lights, the party’s over.” Americans are just sick of politicians. All of them. From both parties. They are all the same. It’s We the People against them now.

What they’re saying, in effect, is that they have no intention of honoring the national will.

They should get out of politics.

They all must have been paid off by Hillary’s wealthy supporters.

Mark Levin has not ruled out supporting Trump as far as I know.

Good. Most of them are the political types that have been driving our nation into the ground for a long time.

In my opinion this is the bunch of nitwits, who have been selling out America for the entire last generation.

They have sold thousands and thousands of formerly American factories to the communists in China, without even keeping ownership, they bring the stuff back to America to sell, and pocket big amounts of money in the process.

The thing is, they are SELLING OUT AMERICA.

Both parties, millions of American jobs have been just plain sold.

Scr*w em.

They are against Trump, because he is for American jobs.

That is what the deal is. And Trump is about the only person who can actually do something.

That is why all of his big events, are completely sold out.

He is saying it is high time, to be for America once again.

Yet for nearly all these, no vows of non-suppprt for Romney, McCain, Dole, and Bushes.

The pundit class population just got much smaller tonight.

The usual suspects, except perhaps J. C. Watts. But I bet the majority of them will vote for Trump in the end. There is a lot of time between now and November to change their minds, and Trump will do so.. Another name missing though is Glenn Beck.

Some of these people will inevitably come around. Some of them are irrelevant anyhow.

Ultimately it’s their choice if they wish to forsake having a desirable influence on the platform, etc.

They seem to be people who consider that their status gives them superiority to the rest of us. Fortunately, they are vastly outnumbered by ordinary Americans.
