In opposing the clear choice of the Republican primary electorate, the “Never Trump” crowd is simply displaying their contempt for the most politically active Republican voters.
This contempt was dramatically displayed during a CNN segment with Trump’s spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson, and Bill Kristol, the self-appointed guru of a Third Party movement whose only result can be to split the Republican ticket and provide Hillary with her best shot at the presidency.
Pierson urged Kristol to help unify the Party behind its presumptive nominee. Kristol grinned and answered her: “You want leaders to become followers.” Could there be a more arrogant response?
By what authority does Bill Kristol regard himself as a leader? Trump has the confidence of millions of highly committed and generally conservative Republican voters. That makes him a leader. Who does Bill Kristol lead except a coterie of inside-the-Beltway foreign policy interventionists, who supported the fiasco in Libya that opened the door to al-Qaeda and ISIS?
But what can it possibly mean? During the first Republican debate, in front of a television audience of 17 million people, Jeb Bush took a pledge saying he would support whoever eventually won the Republican primaries. But as soon as the winner was declared, Bush reneged on his promise. Is telling the truth a presidential value? Or do the anti-Trumpers make allowances for politicians they support, cutting them slack that permits them to lie or change their minds when it is convenient to do so?
The anti-Trump crowd seems most concerned about the personal insults that Trump used successfully to defeat his formidable and more experienced rivals. Perhaps they are forgetting the hundred million dollars worth of personal insults and attacks that were directed at Marco Rubio and Trump by Bush’s PAC, which the candidate himself never repudiated.

>Like a told a friend of mine who was also afraid of Trump, a month before the Texas primary, “the Republican pols have lied to me over and over again. I’ll take my chance with Trump, or we don’t have a country left.”
I feel the same.
Hey, Billy-Boy...
Lead,
Follow,
Or get out of the way!
Bill Kristol has always been a ghoulish grinned subverter, and embezzler of authority. May God reward him as he deserves, in the sight of all.
If I were Bill, I'd have someone REALLY trustworthy watching my back.
The only thing I can think of that can be done about it is Prayer, lots of Prayer.
Yup. Hillary just might want those sympathy votes LOL.
I personally am very comfortable with Trump as President. Looking at his children, I am certain that if he is elected, we’ll do much better that we’ve done during the past 28 years.
Spare us the Trump Messiah nonsense.
It’s counterproductive.
Lots of prayer.
“Bill Kristol, the self-appointed guru of a Third Party movement whose only result can be to split the Republican ticket and provide Hillary with her best shot at the presidency. “
Exactly right.
Are any of the so-called Republican leaders actually Republicans or just Dems in Republican clothing, to damage the GOP better from the inside?
These people actually admit that they’re for Hellary????
Ed Klein mentions that exact scenario at the end of one of his books ( it was either Unlikeable or Blood Feud )
I’ve not read the book, but perhaps GMTA. lol
Bill Kristol couldn't get as many votes as Lindsey Graham got ... he'd be at the kid's table for debates.
Oh yeah, absolutely they do..they also call Trump supporters “KKK members” and “racists” I guess we are racist because we want borders and not sure about the idiotic KKK member comment, Im Jewish, my family resides in Israel, my grandmother lost family members in the Holocaust, yet these people have to nerve to call Trump supporters KKK members..I would have walked over broken glass to vote for Ted Cruz had he been the nominee, I would have been honored to vote for him, I am looking at the BIG PICTURE, I can’t live under a Hillary Clinton/Warren/Sanders Presidency, I just can’t do it. I know Trump isn’t perfect but for God’s sake look what we might be getting instead
Why? If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
If his parents hadn’t been born first, little Billy Kristol would be selling men’s ties from a pushcart on 6th Avenue.
But you're 100% correct about stopping Hillary or whomever the Dems stick in her place!
That’s the bottom line. These people are so overcome with hate, that they’ll settle for Hellary, over the one person who’s actually attempting to put conservative policies in place.
Trump has brought more conservative policies, or what USED to be conservative policies, to the forefront - border security, jobs, lower taxes, states rights, immigration enforcement, repeal 0bieCare - than ANY other candidate has, in decades.
Sad and sick that they promote Socialism and Hildebeast.
Spare us your CRUZBUTTHURT and terminal TDS crap!
