'Only plausible candidate': Never Trump Republicans plotting to back Biden
Republicans opposed to President Trump are quietly preparing to support Democratic front-runner Joe Biden, backing that could materialize in the primary as he attempts to fend off a surging Elizabeth Warren.


Some Republican operatives active in Never Trump circles are discussing the timing and what form support for Biden might take. Groups such as Stand Up Republic, co-founded by prominent Never Trump Republicans Evan McMullin and Mindy Finn, could target disaffected GOP voters in key micro-battlegrounds with finely tailored advertising in a bid to boost Biden in the Democratic primary.
“Never Trump means what it says: Never Trump. Under no circumstances can you embrace that man coming back to the White House,” countered Jerry Taylor, who runs the Niskanen Center, a centrist Washington think tank that has become a gathering spot for anti-Trump Republicans. “Most Never Trump Republicans that I traffic with are of the mind that any electoral outcome that doesn’t return Donald Trump to the White House is a good outcome, save for the wild card of Bernie Sanders.”

Maybe but some of those probably know better but can't help just surrendering to their chronic cranky contrarian nature.

And they say that SCOTUS will protect our gun rights ... Not if Biden has his way.....We are very close to the edge of the cliff as far as gun rights and gun ownership is concerned ... Question .... If liberals took control of all branches of government in the future where will our gun rights even our democracy end up .... You will not recognize this country folks ... Biden will allow you to own that double barrel shotgun ... Wait that was a weapon of war also...

Most of the time our choice is between two poor candidates so we have to pick the lesser of two evils. I understand the criticism of trump since I have a few friends that are in the never Trump group. But to openly support anyone from the Democratic party is letting spite get the best of you. I tell people don't focus on what Trump says and instead look at what the Trump administration does. I find it hard to believe that anyone on the right side of the political spectrum could seriously consider Biden or any of the other nutjobs over Trump.

I thought "never trump"ers had gone extinct?
I can't imagine they have much sway anymore.
Trump has the overwhelming majority of the Republican part supporting him now, Trump has transformed that party and moved it to the center.
Now a strong democrat that moves that party back tonthe center is needed. Imagine a time when constitutional rights are no longer used as a wedge issue.

In any case, anyone that backs Biden is a complete fool. The man might not even make it to a general election his health and his mind are deteriorating so badly. Trump would make mincemeat of Biden in the general.

The propaganda machine will never stop, all open never Trumpers will have a primary challenge and many will not do well.

Biden, if not suffering from dementia, will forget where he is one day and never recover from it. The sooner the better too!

 

[Deplorable Me]

RINOs, there everywhere. Last NY governor's election, the NY GOP never got behind Molinaro. The NYC republicans even backed Andy.

BOHICA.

That falls victim to the fundamental fallacy of modern American politics.

That fallacy is that the 2 major forces are the Democrat and Republican parties.

The real major forces are statists and individualists.

Warren is going beyond some of the more commonly discussed ideas, such as stricter background checks or a ban on assault weapons. Her plan calls for creating a federal licensing system, limiting the number of firearms someone could buy, raising the minimum age to 21 for purchasing a gun, holding gun manufacturers liable (and, in some cases, even holding gun industry CEOs personally liable).

She also wants to raise taxes for gun manufacturers (from 10% to 30% on guns and from 11% to 50% on ammunition).

No way faux-ca-hontis moves on, she stole from the entire Native American population and should be forced to pay reparations to every man woman and child that has the Indian DNA she was proven not to have. Caught in her lies she now blames her parents for lying to her, she should burn in a Cherokee fire.

Define RINO.

You mean Republicans that rack up trillion dollar deficits?

Biden ain't long for this race once his son's shady shit in the Ukraine comes out.

Absolutely spot on. This is why Republican politicians (like Flake) could openly state they were going to vote for Hillary. It's not that they don't have principles - it's that those principles are not what many think they are based on party affiliation. Look at NY Repubs. Very few of them are actually what we might consider conservative. Hell, Paleo conservatives are practically extinct, and we've lost vast amounts of knowledge & experience with the their passing.

Unfortunately, way too many statist in both parties.
