Breitbart: NeverTrumpers Crash and Burn (from last December)
There is a spectrum to political beliefs and animus to Donald Trump. Jonah Goldberg, who tries to walk a line of being a conservative yet continually critical of President Trump, takes down Max Boot, the latest MeaCulpaCon. What can you say, other than pass the popcorn and good riddance. Maybe Max is hoping to land a gig like Jen Rubin or get a lefty sugar daddy like Bill Kristol.
Ace calling bullshit on them all. I've noticed this too and he is not holding back. You wonder how Jen Rubin, Bill Kristol, and now Max Boot can survive on the far left end of the spectrum, but when you accept they are just shameless opportunists looking for funding to malign the right it all makes sense. They are mostly preaching to the left now anyway. They are an inconsequential back eddy.
Ben Shapiro, Erick Erickson, Jonah Goldberg, even John Podorhetz and David French on a good day, are not quite the same as the die hard NeverTrumpers. They haven't totally abandoned their principles, but they just want to be able to say 'I told you so.' That is such an annoying character flaw.
Trump is not going to be around for ever. It is not that Trump brings a political ideology to the fight, just a different way of fighting back with the media and Democrats. It is a mixed bag. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I certainly don't agree with everything Donald Trump says or does, but there is a lot to be said for fighting back. It is what Andrew Breitbart used to do. I am not suggesting everyone on the right needs to be a Trump Cheerleader, but Conservatives and Republicans would be wise to push back against the left rather than trying to appease it.
I also thank God every day that Hillary Clinton did not win in 2016.
