NeverTrumpers Out of the Closet as Liberal Democrats in Drag:
NeverTrumpers are like gnats in the summer, annoying but largely irrelevant as they don’t sting or bite.Regarding the President
He has walked the conservative walk better than any elected Republican since Ronald Reagan, certainly better than most current elected Republicans. Yet NeverTrumpers oppose him in favor of a Democratic Party further left than at any time in its history.
It has been evident that the Republican leadership has been disconnected with the middle class since the day of Reagan. During both Bush administrations, the tenor placed more emphasis on getting along than following conservative principle. To them being conservative meant being cooperative, being the first to reach across the aisle. This blog has said before that W was a better Democrat than Clinton. It seemed that they were unwilling to accept that no matter how good they acted, they were going to be pilloried for being racist meanies by the Democrats and their sycophantic press corp. They never got it.
When President Obama took office, they were unapologetic and forceful. They saw an opening of ACA and they rammed it through. Since then the Republicans have had the power to end the ACA and never did so, not matter how many promises were made to do so. They were afraid to be seen as hurting poorer voters.
When the public reacted and gelled as the Tea Party movement, the Congressional Republicans followed the Democrats, reusing to embrace the populist movement. They did their best to co-opt the votes and do nothing.
The rage of the middle class voter grew. This led to the election of a man called Trump, loud a profane man. This President has tried to keep his word, and been rebuffed by the part that should be supporting him.
