      It was easier for William Burroughs to give up heroin than it is for the New York Times to give up the fantasy of Never Trump Republicans.

      The New York Times op ed section has three female columnists (Dowd, Collins & Goldberg) & three Never Trump Republicans (Douthat, Brooks, Stephens). Women: 50% of population. Never Trump Republicans: maybe 4%?

      A column like this is justified because it's newsy ... but it adds to the Times habit of vastly over-emphasizing importance of Never Trump faction: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/25/opinion/im-glad-i-got-booed-at-cpac.html …

      Trump is the GOP, the GOP is Trump. CPAC is latest proof of merging of Trump with GOP. But both Times & Post give far more attention to tiny minority of GOP that rejects Trump.

          The booing is the story. Not that there are unicorns who still like Republicanism but dislike Trump.

          On the other hand, do we want pro-Trump nonsense coming from the NYT op ed page? They're wishy-washy enough as it is.

          Do you think anyone who has yet to call for his resignation (or removal) can be rightly referred to as "Never Trump?"

          Not a *tiny* minority in that it has no modern precedent since primaries began. Name a single nominee since then that EVERY ex President of the same party rejected the nominee, plus all but one former nominee?

          It is true, but it is equally true that the GOP can change again as fast as it changed in the past year. When your only principle is "win," all things are possible -- many of them hideous.

          “rejects” Trump, but, you know, voted for him.
