How dare Lowry. If anyone other than our great POTUS would have tried to put Kavanaugh on the court, they would have withdrawn him from the nomination after RAT attacks because they have no balls.

Never Trumpers are belatedly realizing Trump is all that stands between order and chaos.

Voting for the Democrats isn’t an option. The Kavanaugh donnybrook was a wake up call.

Let’s hope some people on the Right begin taking it seriously.

“When he won the nomination in 2016, it wasn’t unreasonable to think that Trump wouldn’t win the general election, he wouldn’t be true to his promise on judges even if he won, and even if he nominated the right people, he wouldn’t care enough about the Court to see through a difficult, high-stakes confirmation fight.”

Speak for yourself, you dumbass Low-life.

Reagan had no balls. He was forced to nominate liberals because that was all he could get through the Senate.

Trump from the very start faced down the Democrats and won. And that matters a great deal.

Reagan was far more flawed than Trump.

Too little too late.

Political Morons aka Never Trumpers who did everything they could to help Hillary Clinton win in 2016 cannot come crawling back now.

The Never Trumpers demonstrated they are political traitors without a hint of a clue of a notion of integrity. We can forgive their treason as God commands us to forgive but can NEVER trust them again.

In 2016 they decided to lay down in their political bed of irreverent narcissism, they now will lie in it forever.

No s***, Sherlock. Lowry actually believed that being cordial to Dems was appreciated as nice.

Bill Kristol must be on vacation for this to have been printed.

A little late to the party, Rich? Of course, me and the rest of the schlubs in middle America aren’t all educated and smart like you. We just had all this figured out 2 years ago.

The genial Republican crowd believed if you kissed Rat behinds, they would reciprocate.

That was never in the cards. Liberals don’t want conservatives in their club.

If that lesson hasn’t already been learned, it will never be. Democrats aren’t our friends.

Reagan had to deal with the 60 vote filibusterer rule. Trump does not.

Why was it unreasonable to assume that Trump would keep his promise on judges? Lowry doesn't elaborate. But I'm glad he and some other Never Trumpers have finally come around to embrace sanity and winning. I have NO hope for Bill Kristol doing so, however. Then again BK now admits to being a liberal.

Brett Kavanugh is on the Supreme Court and the biggest reason is Donald Trump. When he won the nomination in 2016, it wasn’t unreasonable to think that Trump wouldn’t win the general election, he wouldn’t be true to his promise on judges even if he won, and even if he nominated the right people, he wouldn’t care enough about the Court to see through a difficult, high-stakes confirmation fight. We can now say of these presumptions, wrong, wrong, and wrong.

This is written in a way that makes my brain hurt trying to figure out exactly what he meant.

Actually, Lowry has been rather Trump friendly since the election. He’s not like French or Goldberg and some others.

“Never Trumpers are belatedly realizing Trump is all that stands between order and chaos.”

Isn’t that what we were trying to tell them over two years ago? If they had managed to clean out some of that ego blocking their ears, they might have gotten the message.

Maybe the country club Republicans — who want so much to attend all the fashionable wine and cheese parties — are realizing that if they stick together and grab real political power in DC by overthrowing the Deep state, they might actually control the guest lists of all of those fashionable parties.

Good to read. A few awakening for now at least.
