I would like to see a psychological profile of the establishment conservatives and Republicans who freaked out when Donald Trump stormed through the primaries to snatch the 2016 Presidential nomination away from the various candidates the hide-bound GOP high command had groomed to run. Prime among the vanquished was pathetic Jeb Bush, anointed as the next member of the Bush dynasty which had already given the nation three mediocre to disastrous Presidential terms. Jeb revealed himself as a weenie prepared to be crushed by Hillary Clinton when he described illegal immigration as “an act of love.” Imagine what the illegal immigration landscape would be like today if Jeb had run against Clinton…it’s too horrible to contemplate.

Nevertheless, Republicans who were used to a party that was afraid to be too adversarial to the rapidly radicalizing Democrats —after all, who wants to be called fascist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and racist?—turned their metaphorical backs on their principles, priorities, values and career-long political positions to try to defeat, ruin and, after his election, undermine Donald Trump. These people appear to have no scruples whatsoever. George Conway, who became a favorite of the Axis media purely because he hated Trump and had cachet through his wife, a loyal Trump adviser and surrogate, was willing to wound his spouse’s career and destroy his family as he hunted the Great White Trump.

NeverTrumpism quickly manifested as a mental illness, and its vector (well, one of them) was The Lincoln Project, and later The Bulwark, a news and commentary site that was launched by Bill Kristol and friends. In his revulsion at Trump, Kristol now says he’s a Democrat, abandoning pretty much every principle he ever advocated in his now-defunct conservative magazine, “The Weekly Standard.” His 180 degree turn is as stunning as if Stephen Jay Gould had announced that he was a creationist.

Rick Miller, one of the founders of of the Lincoln Project, demonstrates in his recent substack essay just how vile these crazies are. It’s free to read, but have a barf bag handy. The thing is called “Trump is dying.” The content is pure, unadulterated Trump Derangement at its vilest level, but I guarantee Miller’s unproven libel will be “news” on MSNow within a few hours if it isn’t already. A few lowlights:
