RSS‘Never Trump’ Republicans Fear They have Been Blacklisted
HMM, THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER SAY NEVER …
The WAPO reports that some Never Trumper’ national security Republicans find them self blacklisted and personae non gratae following Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory. Image that? So let’s understand this, they signed a “Never Trump” letter, they said that a Trump presidency would be a danger to the United States and now they want a job in a Trump administration. Really? This is exactly the BS that Trump ran against. So were these individuals actually against Trump or did they just think that Hillary was going to win and they were hedging their bets? As Instupundit opines, “I mean, when you sign a ‘Never Trump’ letter, aren’t you blacklisting yourself?” Or even better than that, gotta love the headline at Powerline … “Never Trump” Republicans whine that Trump may say “never them”.
They are some of the biggest names in the Republican national security firmament, veterans of past GOP administrations who say, if called upon by President-elect Donald Trump, they stand ready to serve their country again.
But their phones aren’t ringing. Their entreaties to Trump Tower in New York have mostly gone unanswered. In Trump world, these establishment all-stars say they are “PNG” — personae non gratae.
Their transgression was signing one or both of two public “Never Trump” letters during the campaign, declaring they would not vote for Trump and calling his candidacy a danger to the nation.
One letter, with 122 names, was published by War on the Rocks, a website devoted to national security commentary, during the primary season in March. The other, with 50 names, including some repeat signatories, was published by the New York Times during the general-election campaign in August.

For some, their Republican days of do nothing, or next to little are gone. We’ve managed to achieve a Republican President, a Republican Senate and a Republican Congress, so now get to work.
And the nonsense coming from John Lewis, another black trouble-maker needs to shut his mouth. Claiming Trump is not a legitimate President, inciting boy-cotting and protesting at the inauguration is going to insight violence and he well knows it. He needs to be arrested for terrorizing the incoming leadership of America. So much for your black voice of ignorance and your destruction attitude.
Electing Hillary was like putting obama back in office. Damn stupidity!
The conservatives in our country set out in 2010 to change the course of our federal and state governments as operated by the established political parties.
The Democrat party was on the road to pure socialism, the exact opposite of the Constitution of the United States. The conservatives realized that the Democrats were hopelessly stuck and could not be changed, they had to be removed from as many places in government as possible.
The Republican party, although not perfect, offered the best basis for returning to our conservative roots. The people began to help good Republican candidates to achieve office across the entire range of offices from towns, cities,county, state and national. The people knew that there were some socialist leaning people in office as Republicans who would have to be replaced.
The “Never Trump” Republicans have just identified themselves to the people as those who must be replaced. Trump is right to ignore them.
