ANALYSIS/OPINION:
One by one, the #NeverTrumpers will fall, as they realize the only two people who have a shot at winning the White House are GOP nominee Donald Trump or his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Brad Thor, who has been in the #NeverTrump camp since the beginning and is a respected conservative author, came to this realization on Tuesday, throwing his support behind Mr. Trump. It wasn’t a pretty endorsement, but it was an endorsement all the same.
“Yesterday, Dr. [Hugh] Hewitt tried (yet again) to help guide America to the best (and only) option available to us. I lost a lot of sleep last night reading and then re-reading his words. I awoke this morning with a more nuanced view. Drug #1 (Hillary Clinton) will kill us — no question. Drug #2 (Donald Trump) might kill us, but it also might: A) Slow the cancer, or even B) Cure the cancer,” Mr. Thor wrote in HotAir.com, a conservative site that is part of Townhall Media.
“It’s a lot to hope for, I know, but hope is all we have left. We have exhausted every other avenue. Make no mistake — I believe one hundred percent in standing on principle. Principle, in this case though, will not cure cancer. Sadly, that crappy clinic south of the border is starting to look like our only option,” he wrote.

The guests on Howie Kurz's show tried to excuse this earlier, but their explanations were ridiculous.
The damage is already done. Look for his books on the dollar shelf.
Yeah, but his stupidity and pettiness lost me forever as a reader. I wasn’t a rock solid reader, but I bought 2-3 of his books. No more.
I don't know if there really is any way for such people to make up for their folly. They have damaged their own credibility as well as Trump's.
Are they motivated by arrogance? I really don't get it.
For this election, "It's the Supreme Court, stupid!". This has been obvious since Obama's re-election four years ago. If Scalia had passed sooner and if Ginsburg had any concern for her fellow commies, our nation would already be gone.
What he really lost is book sales.
Yes, You don’t sit down and start talking about assassinating a presidential candidate then turn around and semi endorse them. Thor is a POS who showed who he was colluding with the chithouse mouse. Trump does not need his BS endorsement. The Secret Service should have shown up at his front door and given him a wedgie.
They were not all that and a bag of chips in any case.
Bullshit! Those convinced against their will remain unconvinced still. He is probably looking for an opportunity to stab him in the back. Both Him and Beck should have been arrested.
Good to hear I have always liked Brad Thor, and buy his books. We may disagree on some topics; but at his core he is a patriot and loves his country. He has made his fortune by writing (excellent) books along the lines of Tom Clancy, although more historical backgrounds are used.
And while people may say that Mr Trump is not perfect; in this group of candidates; he was the best. He was the one the people chose (over the ones the RNC appointed for us).
It takes a big man to public ally admit he was wrong. Thus, this humble author has shown he is not only better than Cruz, Bush and others - he has demonstrated that he can keep an open mind; and face reality as it is, rather than demand it shift to how he wishes it would be.
Well done, Mr Thor.
There may even be hope for Cruz cultists!
Book sales must be dropping.
I, for one, will never forget these scum.
This humble man was talking about assassinating Donald Trump.
Ok, bad language but that made me laugh.
Trump is more conservative than...
Bush 1
Bush 2
Bush 3 (YEB!)
McInsane
Romneycare
Lyin’ Canuck Ted
Did not the NeverTrumpers support those RINOs?
