Sorry #NeverTrumpers But You Don’t Get To Dismount Your High Horse Today
The Last Refuge - The Conservative Treehouse ^ | FEBRUARY 1, 2017 | SUNDANCE

Posted on 02/01/2017 4:16:28 AM PST by onyx


Sorry #NeverTrumpers, but you don”t get to dismount your high horse and celebrate the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch today. This is NOT your victory, this is ours!

There is a gobsmacking level of pontificating self-righteousness visible from the collective proletariat within your crony-conservative movement who made the decision to formulate their political argument from a position of opposition.

against-trumpNever trump crowd

Perhaps it would be different if you framed your antagonism from a position of advocacy, but that wasn’t the direction you chose. No, you chose a specific position of opposition as clearly evident within your chosen mantra “Never Trump”.

Perhaps it would be different if you ever had a come-to-Jesus moment and apologized immediately following the November election. Then again, when your opinion of your own self-importance is this high, those humble words are just as foreign as your understanding of the movement that won.

You don’t get to frame the entire construct of your argument around opposition to a team, and then claim benefit to the outcome of victory. Stay on your high-horse, move along and ride off into that proverbial land of irrelevance; you’re dead here.

Save your dismount for another defining “conservative” assembly where you can gather at CPAC again and give a standing ovation to House Speaker Paul Ryan a month after he eliminates the debt ceiling and passes a $2 trillion OmniBus spending bill, funding all of the progressive priorities you hypocritically claim to oppose; you’re good at that.

That particular circle of crazy just doesn’t sell here any longer.

nro coverfive stooges never trumpnever-trump-politicians

Save up your fiscal hypocrisy, you’ll need it. Because in less than two months our victorious bastard will deliver a budget that cuts a trillion “per year” out of the federal coffers…. and there is no doubt the beneficiary of your prior applause will be counting on your fiscally conservative sensibilities to protest for more spending on his behalf.

Oh, and keep your newest VAT tax construct. We’ll bring the sledgehammer, save your gilded and monogrammed tweezers for a swamp audience stupid enough to believe it – Thank you.

Oh, and don’t go getting all pearl-clutchy. This isn’t anger directed toward you, this is far, far worse. This is a very targeted and deliberate Cold Anger surrounding you and the swamp creatures of your affiliation. This sensibility never forgets.

You had a choice. You chose a direction, you lost; and you damn near lost the entire friggin’ country. Just because the team you ridiculed and attacked has overcome all opposition and gained victory, that doesn’t mean you get to backtrack now and expect the bruised and bloodied recipients to forget those who launched the stones and arrows.

Save your wine-spritzers and crust-less triangle sandwiches. We didn’t have well financed high-horses, we launched boots, well-worn boots, scratched, clawed and advanced despite your hoighty-toighty principles, intransigence and unwillingness to cuss or get your hands dirty.

Good grief, your insufferable sensibilities were frightened of frog memes, FROG MEMES!

It was our deplorable and calloused hands that volunteered, opened our piggy banks, and held firm to support each other and our vulgarian candidate against all opposition. You were part of that opposition.

While we were getting bloodied in Chicago, Virginia and California your ilk were worried about our tone and political sensibilities. But worse than that, much much worse than that, you #NeverTrumpers broke the cardinal rule of grassroots camaraderie, you aided the other side.

While our candidate was wearing a friggin’ bullet-proof-vest to deliver Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, you took every opportunity to broadcast your litmus-test purist antagonism in every outlet you could muster.

Your arrogant self-righteous efforts not only didn’t help, but they actually opposed our common sense objective. You were as much a benefit to Hillary Clinton and Mitch McConnell as Media Matters and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, perhaps even more. Lest you need a reminder:

VIDEO!
GROUP OF CONSERVATIVES UNITE TO STOP TRUMP / THE KELLY FILE




No, today you don’t get to rejoice in victory – it isn’t yours. You are worse than the enemy. At least a righteous enemy claims opposition from outside the wire, wears identifiable uniforms and looks you in the eye. Your choice of opposition was to lay toxic land mines inside our own territory, obstruct us at every engagement, and sit back gleefully predicting our defeat.

This victory today is ours. The victory belongs to all the Donald Trump supporters who absorbed your constant ridicule as fuel. The team who battled through the ridicule of the media and the ridicule of the elitist class, and stood in cold Virgina fields at 2am because we knew we needed to keep moving forward despite your efforts.

You #NeverTrump crony-constitutional purists were then, and are now, just as much a part of the problem as before – there is no place for you here, we’re deplorable. Put on your pussy hats and just go join the other side. We didn’t get your support in 2016 and we won’t need it in 2020.

Shut up. Be thankful, quietly.

We’ve got this, and much more yet to come…

Not written to you, but certainly bears repeating...

I don’t see you as one of these people, to be clear.

Tead cannot simply walk away from what he did last year, and be heralded as a solid guy. He isn’t.

Mr Trump made a mistake in attacking her as he did and she made a worst mistake responding as she did.

Now. she has made a bad business decision to leave FOX. She will suffer the Mclean Stevenson / Katherine Heiygl fate of making decisions based on your own PR.

She was opposed to him initially, but I give her credit for trying to analyze the issues fairly and give support to the overall cause once he got nominated. She may never love the idea, but she's trying to support the big picture.

You are right DoughtyOne.

Donald said that of his sister out of love and affection for her because he has a huge heart and treasures family.

But he also said immediately following his words about his sister, I will never forget because it is so important, he said: “BUT NOT NOW”. Of course, the press did not bother to play up that detail and most viewers and watchers missed it. Details are so important.

Donald was conveying to the press and media that he had a liberal sister who was a federal judge, that he thought the world of her, that she was qualified to be appointed to the US Supreme Court BUT NOT NOW because of the death of a conservative lion of the court.

Donald is tolerant of liberals as long as they are not in control. Appointing his sister as a Supreme Court Justice would cause the court to shift to the left so he said “BUT NOT NOW”.

A context where he might appoint his sister to the Supreme Court would be if seats for Ginsburg (age 83) and Breyer (age 78), and possibly Kennedy (age 80) were in that order to become vacant. Then the President might appoint Pryor to take Ginsburg seat, Hardiman to take Breyer’s seat, and finally-maybe-possibly his sister, Judge Elizabeth Trump, to take Kennedy’s seat.

BUT NOT NOW!

You take it farther than I would. I’m not faulting you because a person could reasonably read what he said and come up with that conclusion.

I don’t think he ever wants another Leftist on the court. He has seen what people of that kind of thinking can do to our nation. He wants no part of it.

I have family members that are Leftists. Funny thing is, they don’t see themselves as Leftists. I love them. I’d love to do any good thing I could for them. Would I love to see them on the Supreme Court, because I love them? Absolutely. Would I ever put them there? There isn’t a snowball’s chance in Hell I would.

Did he mention this vile NeverTrumper, if he did I missed it.

I think Kraut has ‘come in from the cold’, I am sure I heard him recently say some positive things about Trump.

Yeah, that’s why I wrote “finally-maybe=possibly” with tongue-in-cheek, meaning effectively when pigs fly.

But as one comes to learn more of the mind of Donald Trump, one can see he is always closing the sale.

Bringing up his sister Elizabeth accomplished several things at once toward closing the sale.

The President is a master salesman.

Doesn’t look like it.

Funny thing is, five to ten years ago, I thought Krauthammer was a solid guy.

Either he drifted way out to sea, or I was totally wrong about him.

At on point, he was solid. I’m sad to see what has become of him.

Glenn Beck apologized today for having questioned during the campaign whether Trump would make a good pick.

Beck and his posse love Gorsuch.

Can’t hold that against Gorsuch though ;^)

I agree with you.

Too many cocktail parties with Krystol and Wills will do that, along with an exaggerated self estimation of his “intellect”.

“...Dropped his idea ...”; perhaps not. But he certainly did change his tune. Perhaps you are not aware that candidate Trump, in his Aug 26 interview with Mark Halperin, praised his sister who is a very pro abortion judge. I believe the term he used was “phenomenal”.

Sen Cruz on Feb 15, 2016 then pointed out Trump’s sister was a pro abortion judge. Saying “Now, it’s good to stand with your sister, But Donald’s sister was a Bill Clinton-appointed (clarification: Reagan appointed, Clinton promoted) federal appellate judge who is a radical pro-abortion extremist.”

Later, when candidate Trump released the list of names (long list) of people he was considering, his sister was not on that list. So he shifted his position.

So now we have established the historical FACT that Trump was ok with appointing liberal judges, was called on it by Sen Cruz (among others) and now as President, has nominated a very conservative constructionist.

Can we definitively say that Sen Cruz changed candidate Trump’s mind? No. Can we show that after being called on his initial “mistake”, he has changed his position and now is more conservative. Without a doubt. And I see this as a good sign.

And in the same light as the title of this article, the Trumpettes don’t get to walk away from Trump’s past statements, even if he has changed his position for the better.

I may have to rethink Gorsuch.

LOL

Yep, Beck and Curz backed themselves in a corner.

Now they are forced to praise the great Satan.

They spent months trashing Trump as if there was no tomorrow.

Even after Trump got the nomination, Beck was going full tilt against him. Teddy remained silent for months as this went on.

Well boys, there was a tomorrow. It’s today, and you two huff-and-puffers are seen for exactly who you are.

If you want to believe that version. Go ahead.

When the rest of us see it as complete nonsense and tell you so, don’t be surprised.

I have never seen a more delusional group of folks who claim to be on the ride side of the isle.

Are you sure you’re in the right party? Your hero wasn’t sure last year, when he refused to endorse Trump at the convention.

Hillary? Oh, well..., maybe that would be better...

LOL

Deal with it.

Trump said something nice about his sister. Imagine that.

Is Trump appointing pro abortion justices?

Is he fully funding Planned Parenthood?

You know, you really need to pull your head out and take a breath of fresh air.
