A reminder for Republicans calling themselves "NeverTrumpers"...

[JHB]

Trump did not come out of nowhere. He did not spring ex nihilo like Athena from the forehead of Zeus. The road that he's drag-racing on took years to pave.

The following are a list of requirements that you must have been before you can claim to be a NeverTrumper:

For at least a quarter century:
NeverNewt
NeverRush
NeverFOX
NeverNatRev
NeverNRA
NeverChristianCoalition
NeverFederalistSociety
NeverKoch
NeverMiscRichLooneyFundingPetIdeologicalProject
Bonus add-on: NeverJoeScar

For the past 18 years:
NeverRove
NeverBushBS
NeverCheney
NeverSean
NeverBillO
Never911ScareTactics
NeverIraqBS
NeverIraqOccupationFailure
NeverBushTaxCut (double that one after Iraq war launched. war+tax cuts /= fiscal responsibility)

(I am admittedly missing a whole passel of things that belong here -- JHB)

For the past 10 years:
NeverTea
NeverGlenn
NeverSarah
NeverPriority1TermPrez
NeverDebtCeilingGames
NeverStolenSCseat

(More missing stuff)

Failure to check ANY of these boxes means you are NOT "NeverTrump". You were fine with all the stuff that lead to him. Your only real problem is that you don't like his style.

2. Please permit me to add 2 names.

NeverNixon, and

NeverReagan.

Both were racists, both committed treason to win the Presidency, and neither had any real respect for the law.

Excellent list.

Recommended.

3. R#3 for, most excellent

4. The twin pillars of the modern American Conservative Movement

Nixon (Bigotry) and Reagan (Greed) are very much to blame for the rise of Trump.

6. For someone like me, born in 1962, it really,

really sucks! My whole life I have experienced shitty Repubs raining on my parade. It's amazing I have any fight left in me but I do. I am angry and that drives me to RESIST AND PERSIST!
