Big League Politics) – With President Donald Trump delivering conservative victories, former members of the NeverTrump movement are siding with the president as he battles with the globalist left to protect American sovereignty.

Trump has enacted tax cuts, sweeping de-regulations, two successful Supreme Court appointments, and has staunchly defended the Second Amendment, proving himself to be far more conservative than the NeverTrumpers initially gave him credit for when he ran. The NeverTrumpers said that Trump was an anti-conservative radical populist. But now they see his commitment to the most populist notion of all: the idea that American patriots must win real victories before it is too late.

Nathanael Blake writes for The Federalist:

Is it too late to get one of those red hats?

I didn’t support Donald Trump during the 2016 election — not that it mattered. I wasn’t in a swing state and I wasn’t publicly opining about the general election. Had my vote mattered, I might have brought myself to vote for him, but it didn’t, so I didn’t…

I have also criticized the die-hard Never-Trumpers who are willing to jettison conservatism to pursue their vendetta against Trump. Like many Trump-skeptical conservatives I tried to call things as I saw them. Sometimes I was pleased with Trump’s policy, and sometimes I was appalled by him. I do not disavow any of what I wrote. Nonetheless, I now support Trump’s reelection.

To use the word du jour: I have been radicalized. The enormity of the efforts by the Democrats and their media allies to destroy Brett Kavanaugh forced me to reconsider my views. The concerns I have about Trump’s character, temperament, and propensity to damage America’s cultural and political institutions are still there, but I am supporting him anyway.

Blake’s passage ends

The NeverTrump phenomenon, borne of the conservative intelligentsia on Twitter, is fading fast, as all conservative realists begin to understand the stakes of our current political situation, and what will happen to this country if Democrats re-take power.

Mollie Hemingway of the Fox News airwaves eloquently eulogized the NeverTrump movement on the cable news giant:

“I’m interested in this from a media angle. It’s the preponderance of Never-Trumpers that we see in the media and in the media outlets. In the real world, they represent an incredibly small fraction of the people. In the media world, they dominate everything,” Hemingway said.

“These people get a lot of prominence for a pretty minority opinion and they seem to be praised by people in the media,” Hemingway said…

The so-called “Trump Supporter Blacklist” began in earnest during the 2016 Republican primaries, with pro-Ted Cruz CNN panelist Amanda Carpenter assembling the blacklist of Trump-supporting conservatives. When Trump won the New York and Indiana primaries over Cruz and locked up the delegate count heading to the convention in Cleveland, people like Carpenter vanished — no longer even on the CNN panel at the Dem convention in Philadelphia. At the convention, Trump locked up the delegate fight with the help of Paul Manafort, who told reporters on Day One that “This is a Trump convention.”

Only the powerful elite from the Republican Party went with Hillary Clinton. Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney cooked up a scheme to knock him off the ticket with the help of an opposition-research tape starring Bush family member Billy Bush. Bill Kristol went it alone on a bid to elect Evan McMullin in Utah to help Hillary Clinton win the electoral vote.

The people of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, and elsewhere went with President Donald Trump.

There are and still will be some hardcore opponents to Trump who got their feelings hurt and refused to realize they weren't all they thought they were and that the world didn't revolve around them.  Folks like George Will and Bill Kristol folks who want you to think they are great republicans only to turncoat and be the same as Democrats when it comes to Trump.  I also consider folks like George Bush and Jeb Bush the same.  They got their feelings hurt, just like the late  John McClain who never got over Trump's statement about him on the campaign trail.  Jeff Flake and Bob Corker are in the same mold.  Almost Democrats I call them because in most cases they can't be counted on the do the right thing but would rather be a thorn in Trump's side for whatever reason.  At least I believe Mitt Romney came around and some others but it took time and possibly they had their own selfish motives.
