| Gorsuch Nomination Sinks Never Trumpers Into Muddy Grave |
| 2017-02-03 |
| [BREITBART] We gave them the White House. We gave them the House. We gave them the Senate. And yet they kept losing. Under Republican control we got the largest expansion of an entitlement program in history and doubled the national debt. Under Democrats we got Obamacare ... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read... , and they doubled the debt again. The Never Trumpers accused Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... of not being conservative, not being a constitutionalist and not being a Republican. They were too stupid to realize that all three of those "attacks" were actually selling points for the man who would become president. When Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died 13 days shy of a year ago, the stakes suddenly got very real. The Never Trumpers insisted Mr. Trump would appoint his sister or his butler or his pro-abortion, liberal dog to the high court, desecrating the seat once occupied by one of the greatest legal forces in American history. Instead, President Trump nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch, a man qualified beyond any doubt to fill that seat. And a man every bit as devoted to preserving and faithfully adhering to the Constitution. It would be nice for the holier-than-thou Never Trumpers to finally acknowledge how wrong they were and concede that maybe, just maybe, you don’t have to be one of them to care about the country and stick up for the Constitution. But that is unlikely. Donald Trump Derangement Syndrome is terminal, so we must settle for the sounds of their death rattles. |

| #7 The latest Gorsuch 'news' I have seen is that his HS yearbook lists him as the founder of the 'Fascists Forever' club. (No record of such a club exists, and the best explanation is it was a comment on the then-current description of Pres. Reagan as a fascist.) |

| #6 Not that I agree with the sentiment, but it helps with accuracy if the entire line was quoted: It would be nice for the holier-than-thou Never Trumpers to finally acknowledge how wrong they were and concede that maybe, just maybe, you don’t have to be one of them to care about the country and stick up for the Constitution. |

| #5 ...you don't have to be one of them to care about the country and stick up for the Constitution. That's an interesting turn of phrase there Charlie. It's probably fair to say every president has stuck up for the Constitution. Not all have followed the Constitution. Your assessment may be a tad premature. Here's hoping your right. |

| #4 Bill Kristol is gone. National Review may have permanently wounded their brand. |

| #3 you don’t have to be one of them to care about the country and stick up for the Constitution. That seems to assume that the "NeverTrumpers" think that those are positives. I don't think they do. |

| #2 Judge Neil Gorsuch, a man qualified beyond any doubt to fill that seat. Quite similar to all the other nominations, as best as I can tell. |

| #1 Meh. Given the information available, Never Trump was the right call. Happily, we were wrong. Get over it. |
