Exclusive: BFH Interviews some NeverTrumpers

A rare Big Fur Hat interview with some NeverTrumpers, at IOTW.  Here is a taste:

Do you think Trump can win?

NT#1: No, that’s what we’ve been warning people about since way, way back, like almost 3 months ago,

NT#2: No, it was before that. It’s been since it looked pretty clear that Trump was going to beat Ted that we started to say Trump can’t win.

NT#1: That’s right. And now that he’s won the primary we are going to make sure he can’t win the presidency, just like we said all along, that he can’t win.

NT#5: Yes, it is paramount that Trump not win because we warned you that he couldn’t.

BFH is a bigger man than me.  I have no patience for these people.  And I doubt they'd talk to me after all the images I've posted.  Such as these:

So who did he interview?  I'm guessing they were all from this list:

UPDATED 8.12.16 11:15am:

GP links to this Politico story of 70 more "Republicans" who have come out as NeverTrumpers.  I don't have the full list yet, but here are some of the names.  I'll be adding these to future posts that require the list above:

Former Sen. Gordon Humphrey, NH
Former Rep. Chris Shays, CT
Former Rep. Tom Coleman, MO
Former Rep. Vin Weber, MN
Mindy Finn (former RNC chief digital strategist)
Christine Iverson Gunderson (former RNC press secretary)
Virginia Hume Onufer (former RNC deputy press secretary)
Beth Miller (former RNC field communications division director)
Heather Layman (former deputy press secretary)
B. Jay Cooper (former RNC communications director under four chairmen) Patrick Ruffini (former RNC ecampaign director).
Andrew Weinstein

Don't be fooled.  That isn't a list of principled Republicans who are loyal to the party at all costs.  It is a list of people who were not invited to the Trump team and will be sitting-out the Trump Presidency, if we are lucky enough to win.

As Trump has said of Republicans who are actively trying to derail his candidacy, and I'm paraphrasing here:

These are the people who allowed this mess to happen.

Why would I want them to be in my administration?

Wednesday Afternoon Cigar

I smoked a Romeo y Julieta to celebrate Freedom, America, and the zeroing of my new optic.

I am very pleased with my new Vortez SPARC AR red dot optic.  Only $200, but as good, if not better, than the red dot optics that run $600 - $800.

Is it me, or do the cigars burn the brightest when innovation and capitalism come to the shooting sports?

Hillary, the Metaphor

I want to commend the Democrats for nominating a person who truly represents the Democrat Party. By winning the Party's nomination, Hillary Clinton is, by definition, the most qualified Democrat for President of the United States.  She is a metaphor, however.

The metaphor:

The Party is near death, and requires the MSM to prop them up to protect falsify their image.

And Hillary is near death, and requires the Secret Service to prop her up.

FB Comrade Dan Riehl comments on this photo, found via GP (story):

So, I'm reading Drudge and thinking if she wins, Hillary may be the 1st POTUS to roll around the WH in a Walmart Power scooter.

For those unfamiliar with the Walmart scooter:

Interweb Dump

So little time, so many cool things to link to...

Comrade Joe Dan has posted his latest Intellectual Froglegs video (25mins).  Some good attacks on the MSM, and an interview with Kevin Jackson of BlackSphere.  Joe Dan suffered a heart attack while assembling this latest video.  This was the best news Hillary has had in months, but alas, it was not meant to be.  Joe Dan is back on his feet and will be producing more videos into November.

And, Economic Plan of the Day, by Donald J. Trump:

Quote of the Day

Donald J. Trump:

In short, the city of Detroit is the living, breathing example of my opponent’s failed economic agenda. Every policy that has failed this city, and so many others, is a policy supported by Hillary Clinton.

Transcript and video of today's speech in Detroit is at Conservative Treehouse.

Europe's Last Chance

Pat Condell:




Pat says Europeans have two options:

1) Speak out, and
2) Vote.

He's right.  Those are the only two options they have. 

A couple more options come to mind.  But that is because I am in the United States.

Hurry! Three Syllables!

Today's word of the day, and the topic on all the blogs: Diazepam.

Using in a sentence:

The Democrat Party nominee cannot function 

without her Diazepam injections.

Diazepam is the medical name for Valium.  It is a prescription-only shot that is used for people suffering from seizures.

Hey Democrats, no do-overs.  We know you are used to changing the rules mid-game, but you have a nominee who you chose.  Get behind her and keep telling us discussion of her health is off limits.

Hillary's age and health problems were known to all.

They (liberals, MSM, Super Delegates) ignored the signs, with many knowing the details and keeping quiet.

And they still voted for her.

U/T: Mike Cernovich for getting this story started.

UPDATED 2pm:

The MSM is on the record.  CNN has responded to this story.   CNN Newsroom host, Carol Costello:

I thought she did fall and hit her head on something, and as I recall, this was a reason that she had to wear a particular set of glasses, you know. There was something there, a number of months ago, yes.

She has totally recovered from that, though.

There it is.  She is fine.  Although no mention of HPV, Syphilis, oral cancer or any other ailment.  She just needed some help up some stairs.  Don't we all?

If Trump can still influence the debates, I'd suggest he insist on standing.

UPDATED 3:30pm:

I comrade suggested replacing the Diazepam in the auto-injector with truth serum.  Bravo, Comrade.  Bravo.

The Washington Post came out to criticize those who think Hillary has health issues.  They didn't set the record straight.  They didn't offer anything to counter the suspicion.  But they came out for Hillary nonetheless.  First CNN and now the Washington Post.  It appears the MSM has circled the wagons.  How much sleep will they lose in the next 90 days praying hoping Hillary doesn't trip?

Earl's image from two days ago takes on new meaning:

A comrade of a comrade posted this today on FB.  Just what was he trying to say??
