Never Trump Republicans,, KARMA Sucks..

Remember the list of Republicans that signed letters saying they would never support The Donald??

KARMA: always has the last word...

Quote:
‘Never Trump’ national-security Republicans fear they have been blacklisted

They are some of the biggest names in the Republican national security firmament, veterans of past GOP administrations who say, if called upon by President-elect Donald Trump, they stand ready to serve their country again.

But their phones aren’t ringing. Their entreaties to Trump Tower in New York have mostly gone unanswered. In Trump world, these establishment all-stars say they are “PNG” — personae non gratae.

Their transgression was signing one or both of two public “Never Trump” letters during the campaign, declaring they would not vote for Trump and calling his candidacy a danger to the nation.

One letter, with 122 names, was published by War on the Rocks, a website devoted to national security commentary, during the primary season in March. The other, with 50 names, including some repeat signatories, was published by the New York Times during the general-election campaign in August.

So they signed an agreement to not support him, but are ready to support him.

Along the same lines, I would like to see all those hollyweed fucks who threatened to move if Trump got elected held to their word or blacklisted from making any money off of this corrupt, 'capitalistical system.

Not That Good

They must not be that good at being advisors.

They couldn't see Trump actually winning and them needing him to give them a job.

As a wise man once told me - "Trust everyone - but cut the deck."

Actually... The meeting was not about humiliating Romney, but rather about facilitating use of his daughters company and its data services for the greater RNC good.

After reading the letter and the names of those who signed it, it reads as a who's who of "has beens".

But I think someone already said it better, "GOP Whores" has a nice ring to it.
