#NeverTrump Circles the Drain

[jimnyc]

Some of these numbers are moving up, and are very encouraging! He was once in the 30's for republican support and 30%+ refusing to vote or going Hillary or 3rd party. That's been a huge turnaround in a very short period of time. He's also picking up in a lot of different polls, and leading in some. Next they should start concentrating on states, and the electorates.

WASHINGTON, DC – The #NeverTrump movement is collapsing as Donald Trump asserts himself as the Republican nominee.

Only 15 percent of Republicans are still vowing not to back Trump in the general election, according to a new Fox News poll. Trump is getting 82 percent Republican support. Seven percent of Republicans are in Hillary Clinton’s camp, while four percent would vote for a third-party candidate and four percent will not vote. Another four percent are still undecided.

The #NeverTrump movement, led by onetime television star Glenn Beck and professional political consultants like Ben Howe and commentators like Jamie Weinstein, has been fading. While these pundits and political-class types choose to remain in Never-Never Land, the rest of the party is clearly growing up.

Trump cemented his alpha male status in the GOP with his Tuesday night interview with Megyn Kelly, the fierce anti-Trump cable news entertainer whose battles with Trump so obsessed her that she even changed her hairstyle to reflect strength. Trump’s interview with Kelly aired the same night he won the primaries in Oregon and Kentucky. Even though Ted Cruz dropped out of the race, he kept the door open to re-entering, and he appeared recently on “Millionaire’s Row” at the Kentucky Derby. But Trump beat him on the ballot by about 10,000 votes Tuesday, putting to rest any hope for a Cruz comeback.

Neoconservative pundit Bill Kristol, who tried to get a third-party candidate to challenge Trump on the Right and all but assure Hillary Clinton a victory, is still clinging to that idea but admits that it’s “Not easy.” Retired Marine Corps general James Mattis already turned Kristol down. The Republican National Committee condemned Kristol’s plot.

Jonah Goldberg of National Review conceded that the third-party scheme is not going to become a reality.

Ben Howe, one of the most inflammatory #NeverTrumpers, is currently under fire on Twitter for refusing to apologize for calling potential First Lady Melania Trump a “whore” in a Tweet that he later deleted.

Trump critic Mark Levin, the nationally-syndicated radio star, Tweeted Wednesday, “What do you think? Would Trump fight for his nominee” to the Supreme Court, appearing to acknowledge Trump’s inevitability.

Guy P. Benson, a Fox News pundit who steadfastly recites the Establishment’s party line on issues, admitted Wednesday that Trump’s Supreme Court shortlist of potential justices was “generally encouraging.”

Daily Caller editor Jamie Weinstein, who recently got engaged to Trump critic and former Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields, is also waking up:

With the pundits forced to leave Never-Never Land and accept reality, the legacy of #NeverTrump might not actually be very substantial at all. Assuming that the 15 percent number goes down in the next five months, the only real damage to Trump on the Right will probably come from the Koch Brothers pulling their money out of the race. As Breitbart News reported, the Kochs’ “secret bank” in the D.C. Beltway is not going to engage with the presidential election.

But it’s unclear how much damage that would actually do to Trump. Trump will not have to answer to the Koch Brothers while in office, and he will be able to appeal to Bernie Sanders supporters by proclaiming himself the man who got Koch money out of the election. Trump will still be able to raise enough money to compete, as evidenced by Sheldon Adelson’s $100 million commitment to Make America Great Again.

The Fox News poll has very positive implications for Trump going forward, but it also shows some setbacks for him.

Trump leads Clinton 45 percent to 42 percent in the poll after trailing her last month by seven points. Trump also leads 61 percent to 24 percent among white people who didn’t graduate from college. That’s a demographic that has plagued Clinton in her ongoing primary battle with Bernie Sanders. Trump also leads 46 percent to 30 percent among independents. But Clinton is dominating with blacks and Hispanics.

I have said it before and I will say it again!

I do not care for some of his bombastic rants, but he has awakened
long suppressed feelings of distrust and disappointment of the Liberal
style of government. People WANT real change!

The idea of the free handouts to those that sit back and do nothing to
better themselves is a bitter pill to swallow by the majority. There are
some that depend on and need assistance, but they too are being squeezed
by the blanket hand-out programs and these folks DO deserve the assistance,
not welfare leeches.

Put the leeches and homeless panhandlers out into the fields to tend and
harvest crops and send the illegals who suck up the freebie benefits
back where they came from, lock, stock, and barrel!

Parents should make their kids cut the grass and trim the bushes, not hire
under the table some Hispanic with a beat up Datsun pick-up to do it.
Get the kids to accept responsibility, rather than spending time at the beach,
cruising the mall, or with their face stuck in some video game or cell phone

You're not running why? Crap. You'd get my vote.

Yeah and I'm a half hillbilly Alabaman and half redneck Texan. I think we'd make a better Prez/VP than current choices.. We could set up a still at the White House. Run some cattle in.

First thing I'm doing is tearing down that fucking fence that keeps people away. I ain't special. You can't listen to the people if you don't talk to them.

A still? I can rustle up a good moonshine recipe! Cattle to keep the grass cropped and fertilized?
Not a bad idea!

The fence I would question unless you would post a squad of Jarheads in it's place.

You're kidding, right? Parents (most of them) in this day and age wouldn't 'think' of forcing their kids to actually (gasp!) do work. <Insert an obligatory Maynard Krebbs from Dobie Gillis graphic here> It's like they were brainwashed in the 60's to embrace the hippie/hipster/beatnik meme of being a lazy, petulant slob.

Case in point. When I first moved to Dallas, my neighbor had her daughter and two grandsons living there for several years. At no time did I EVER see either one of them, both healthy, strapping males, do one iota of 'work'. It was simply unheard of. I would have loved to pay them to mow my lawn and other small chores, but hey....they didn't need the money (allowance for doing nothing) and they didn't want to (gasp!) 'work'.

Oh well....
