Pinko did an entire radio show the other night dedicated to the original National Review “Ream Team” that was compiled to try and sink Trump (which would have ushered in Hillary.)
His view is that no one on that list should ever be listened to ever again, forever banished, not worthy of a voice amongst reasonable people who knew what the binary choice was.
He has a good argument,
NEVER Trump means NEVER Trump. So no matter how well Trump does, no matter how conservative he governs, they have 2 options – continue to be NEVER Trump out of pigheadedness, or say, “I’m sowwy,” and come back with head lowered.
Pinko says to kick the suddenly converted in the nuts and say, “see ya, dopey. NEVER means NEVER. Or are you saying you are unprincipled? (using their own rhetoric against them) If so, you can’t be trusted. Buh Bye.”
It’s a sound argument.
There are those in the Never Trump camp that have quadrupled down, now saying they hope the republicans lose the midterms. (Can a savvy reader drop a link to this in the comments. I cannot find this story as of this posting. But trust me, I read it.) These people were never on the right, they were people comfortable with how DC operated and made plenty of money off of the old guard RINO system.
So, what do we do with the “Mea Culpa” Never Trump?
I see one pundit who used the term “el Trumpo” as a term of derision who is starting to pivot a bit and playing it off as if it is a term of endearment. (Although his audience is lost and needs to be institutionalized, still saying that Trump is a New York liberal and they warned us. At some point they really look like morons, no?)
*Dave Blount? What do you do with a guy like this? A year in, Trump shows no sign of being a “secret progressive,” yet his site cannot say a positive thing about the president. They ignore the good stuff, and pounce whenever there is a sliver that can be spun to make it look like their dire warnings have come to fruition.
One gets the feeling that they get madder and madder the more Trump does very good things for this country. That’s a toxicity that is unhealthy, and they should really consider a new line of work, like stomping tulips, or something.
How sick is it to be sitting around hoping Trump does progressive things just so you’re vindicated?
How do you feel about NeverTrump and are they welcome back?
(I say yes. We need every able body, even if you don’t like them. Let’s call them our useful former idiots.)
*I didn’t mean to single Blount out. I use him as an example because Moonbattery was a site I visited before I even knew what blogging was. He was/is an early blogger hero of mine.
If I say I’m “disappointed” it sounds patronizing. Blount was a force before I was out of short pants.
I agree with Pinko. OUT!!
That idiot that uses the term “el Trumpo” seems to be trying to turn his minions back to (at least at times) supporting Trump. You’d need to be a total idiot not to see what Trumps doing. But he might qualify. His minions certainly do.
Imagine what President Trump could accomplish if Republicans fully supported him?
Listen to the show here:

Damn right he is winning! It drives the neverTrumpers nuts that he is winning bigly!
Everyone is allowed their own opinions based on what they know at the time. Opinions can change as new information becomes available. That is life. It still amazes me when I look back at what Trump said during his campaign and what I learned about his history by simply searching the internet, that some people would not open their minds to the possibility that what he was doing was sincere.
There are probably some who may be contrite and honestly reject their previous flawed attitude toward Trump. If they clearly say “ya know, I was wrong” I can accept their change of heart.
But, those who doubled down and are still “never Trump” (especially political pundits whose careers rely on investigation and reason) and can’t see the facts due to their willful blind hate toward Trump – F’em.
I told Daddy Manderin the other day that before PRESIDENT Trump’s second term is over he will have won even more people over. I am so glad I picked a TOTAL winner this election and my old time Christian friends whom I used to have a total gas with and who confusingly latched onto liberalism somewhere while we were apart for many years have gone over the deep end since PRESIDENT Trump was elected really picked a total loser bound-for-Hell candidate this election cycle. Maybe PRESIDENT Trump will wind up winning a few of them over the next 8 years. But at this rate, it doesn’t look good for them. Godspeed ya all…
If Hillary had won and was doing everything Trump is doing for the country, I would say I was wrong and cheer her on. It isn’t that hard to change your opinion when you have more to go on. These people are prisoners of their own egos to the point of betraying everything they were supposed to stand for.
“and they really voted for a total loser…”
WHOOPSIE!!!
OT,
It’s fascinating reading the hints Q Anon is dropping and then watching the news. Andrew Andy McCabe is stepping down. Retiring.
Retiring, is that like getting laid off while they are still hiring?
joe
I think it’s more like, leave or we prosecute. Or worse.
Brad, did you see Trump’s tweet? Something to the effect of “racing the clock to get full benefits”.
Joe6pak
I just read it. He’s on fire today. Did you see this one?
“How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?
Were you talking about Super-Spic in your description above about the person who used the term El trumpo? That guy was one of the most annoying cunts during the entire election period.
This is a good example of why I really like his tweeting. Do you think for a second that CNNMSNBSCBSABC even Fox for that matter would be racing over to the White House to get Trump’s opinion on this worm trying to escape justice? No way in hell! Keep it coming President Trump!
Joe6pak
He needs to tweet otherwise the truth would never get out. Here he is playing the media.

As the swamp drains, the toilet flushes, and MAGA gains momentum, it’s going to be increasingly more difficult for even members of the flock to continue the never Trump bullshit – and be considered credible.
Bad_Brad and joe6pack – I especially liked the question mark in POTUS tweet – “90 days to go?!!.
Indicates to me that McCabe might not make it. 😉
BFH – could it be this guy? Former Republican.

callie, I hadn’t noticed the question mark. Probably isn’t an accident.
Paging Pinko.
Super Spic. Pretty fitting. The thing is, that place still kneels at the alter of Ted Cruz. For instance, they currently have front a center a story about how Rand Paul attacked Tednato (I can’t believe these idiots are still calling him that). If you read the exchange between Cruz and Paul it’s freaken hillariuos. The Right Poop will be shocked when Ted Cruz finally discovers them and tells them to grow up and piss off. Every commenter their would suck his— well you get the point.
I did not like Cruz during the primaries. But he’s served our President well, for the most part, after the election.
PS
That place banned me. Boo Hoo. But the thing is I can’t remember the last time I commented there. Full disclosure I was band about 18 months ago, and then I wasn’t. Has something to do with Discus I think. Back on Track. I’m convinced they’ve read shit here I’ve posted. That place is a PUSS filled nightmare.
I have put prayed an extra decade of the Rosary every day since inauguration for our President and Melania.
