#1 For some reason, the plight of the feckless NeverTrumpers reminds me of this old Dilbert cartoon, about self-selection for oblivion:

#4 The indicator in my schadenfreude meter keeps wrapping itself around the stop peg.

#5 I'll bet he's not phoning any SJW's either.

#7 Trump gave them a chance after the nomination. They spit in his face. Now that he has won they want back in.

Fuck off guys. You made your bed, now lay in it.

#8 DJT definitely has them chasing the4ir tails. Granted WaPo was under different ownership in the GW Bush era, but didn't that rag at one time or another trash every single person on this list? Now they are useful examples of "wise men?" Mr. Trump, save us all from any more of these "wise men..."

#9 As I've posted before, lists won't have to be made, because they've already been made by the miscreants themselves.

#10 These guys are starting to realize that they are part of the swamp. Sod off, Swampy!

#11 Some time in the wilderness will allow them the perspective to see what they previously missed while they were responding viscerally to that Queens accent and the salesmanship, not to mention the dire portrait painted by his competitors, and the time to decide whether they want to revise their opinions, find a different line of work or even choose to enjoy a long-overdue retirement. If it's good enough for Thomas Sowell...

#12 ...and if they weren't blacklisted, WaPo would do a story on Dubya's Republican retreads in the Trump administration. Leftists will always have something to bitch and moan about.

#13 National-security Republicans who were willing to elect Hillary Clinton POTUS? That's kind of a misnomer, isn't it?

#14 I'd respect them more if they've kept opposing him.

#15 Does this mean they're 'taking responsibility' for their elected officials, grommie?

#16 Perhaps they should have clarified what they meant by "Never". Very Democrat in their word flexibility.

#17 Well, at least your schadenfreude meter still works.

Mine broke on all of the stories about coloring books and puppies.

Or maybe it was John Kerry going to Paris?

#19 You are a horrible no good person with a soul made of Limburger and I want you to drown in a pit of weevils. Hiring?

#20 ou really are a heel,
You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel,

You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

I bought the titanium and carbon fiber nuclear powered schadenfreude-ometer from Amazon and it still works great.
