Ex-NeverTrumper Exposes GOP Elites, Lays Out Their Tough 2020 Dilemma

Erick Erickson used to be NeverTrumper, until he watched Trump work.

Once he saw Trump’s conservative leadership—causing Democrats to lurch to the left—he jumped on the Trump train.

And now he’s exposing GOP elites who still consider themselves NeverTrumpers… and the difficult decision they’ll have to make.

From Just The News:

Conservative commentator and former Never Trumper Erick Erickson says the Never Trumpers are in a dilemma…

Erickson, who used to be a prominent critic of Donald Trump, said Never Trumpers, who tend to be the Republican elite establishment… will have to be able to swallow a more progressive running mate and more progressive policies — things that typically turn off independent voters.

Erickson says that those Republican elitists who still oppose Trump will be forced to either back him or a radical leftist.

He points out that Joe Biden has actually moved further from center during the election, in order to nab extreme leftists in his party.

That’s normally the opposite of what happens. Usually, independent voters are moderate or conservative. So, Democrats have to appeal to them.

Erickson says those elitists in the GOP who hate Trump are left with backing a man who will push a progressive agenda.

Our Take:

It’s hard to understand how anyone in the Republican Party still opposes Trump. Erickson points out that these people are elite establishment—most likely RINOs who back globalist policies.

But these people still consider themselves conservatives, right? How can they honestly back Biden in defiance of Trump?

Remember, back in the early days of the Democratic primary, Biden was considered the “moderate” choice.

But lately, he’s become more and more leftist, in order to win over Bernie Sanders’ supporters.

His platform reads more like a socialist manifesto than a moderate platform that can win over most Americans.

And then there is the fact that he’d pick a far-left running mate, just to appease progressive.

NeverTrumpers originally accused Trump of being secretly liberal. They said he would betray the Republican Party by pushing leftist goals.

That never happened, of course. But NeverTrumpers still claim to be real conservatives. So, how could they support Joe Biden?

They certainly are in a pickle, aren’t they? They either have to get on board the Trump train or admit this was never about conservative politics.

SHARE to tell NeverTrumpers to support Trump, not Sleepy Joe Biden.
