Johnny Cash’s last hit was a cover of Nine Inch Nails’ Hurt.(snip)
The key lines in the song are:
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
The people who let us down are the hardest to forgive. I observe that people hate the Never Trumpers more than they do Hillary’s supporters because we expect the wolves to attack us. But the people who are revealed as Judas goats — animals that lead the sheep to slaughter — commit a betrayal that becomes almost unforgiveable.
When National Review posted an Against Trump edition in January 2016,

FTA:
I wrote, “Trump has not always been pro-life and pro-guns, but he is now and that is what counts. He also is unapologetically politically incorrect, to the point of being rude, but being polite has not gotten conservatives a damned thing. Trump is bringing Democrats, independents and unregistered people into the party. Losing just to meet some conservative purity test is a luxury Republicans no longer can afford.”
Seven years later, a new group of Never Trumpers emerges.

The finest obliteration of TDSers I have ever read. Egos nasty tweets or arguable decisions aside the fight is for the very soul of America, our constitution and the bed rock foundation that girds it. Freedom liberty and justice for all. Nothing less and nothing else matters. MAGA.

Very probably, President Trump will be the Republican nominee. What happens after that matters more. Dear Only-Trumpers and Never-Trumpers, please let the nomination process unfold naturally and then unite behind the nominee. Our country cannot take another four years of democrat misrule.

Schlichter is a huge disappointment. I used to consider all of his articles “must reads”. No more.

Schlichter is not a "Never Trumper" in the sense that we've all come to know and loathe. He likes Trump, honestly believes that Trump cannot win the general, but has made it clear that he will vote for him if he gets the nod following the primaries. The Never Trump eunuchs either voted for Biden, that pathetic Get-Thee-Behind-Me-MAGA David French or the McMullin loser, or didn't vote at all.

Oh, my dear, #3, you are preaching to the wrong choir. Trump supporters have never, nor would ever, interfere in the nomination process. We’re the ones calling out the massive vote fraud. We’re the idiots listening to the Kumbaya calls from the moderates, GOPe & RINOs, when it comes time to vote in the general, when once again, Mitch McConnell and his Merry Band of GOP b******s tells us who our candidates will be. You need to look in the other direction if you are looking for something not natural unfolding, as much as I wish our side would get in the game.

The Kurt Schlichters and the Ann Coulters of this world always tell on themselves in the end. They they run the conservative grift and bail when it's feels politically convenient for them to do so.

Actually Trump personally is anti-abortion due to a close family friend who had some severe complications when she had one. That turned him off of abortion, so I would call him as being more pro-choice. But I do agree that the slime that stayed hidden in 2016 is now showing themselves and it is ugly.

That anti-Trump edition was followed by me cancelling NR forever. Being that the other choice was the Rodham shrew, it was completely illogical and astonishing. I still get emails offering me special “deals” if will re-subscribe. Never.

There is nothing natural about the secretive, underhanded, & overt evil that has been done & is being done to Trump.

Around here they start off “with I voted for Trump before….” and then off they go. MAGA not good enough for them? Haven’t heard about RDS’s hair-trogger temper? Want wishy-washy Mike Pence? Sink our country because “he’s not polite”?...
