‘Better late than never’: Former GOP insider offers ‘DeSantis fangirls’ some ‘Never Trump’ advice
.
There are major differences between hardcore Never Trump conservatives and Republicans who were Donald Trump allies or supporters in the past but are now hoping that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis or another Republican will be the GOP’s 2024 presidential nominee — a group that includes Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, media mogul and Fox News leader Rupert Murdoch, former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and author Ann Coulter.
Never Trumpers like attorney George Conway, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, Washington Post columnists George Will and Max Boot and The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson have been consistently scathing in their condemnation of the former president and the MAGA movement. But the Republicans who are now jumping on the “DeSantis for president” bandwagon were among Trump’s defenders or apologists in the past; now, they are supporting DeSantis because they see him as more electable than Trump.
Tim Miller, a former GOP operative who has long been in the Never Trump camp and supported Joe Biden in 2020’s presidential election, addresses the “DeSantis fangirls” in a humorous open letter published by The Bulwark on November 29. Miller’s letter is full of biting sarcasm; he is obviously in no hurry to forgive them for the years they spent as Trump apologists, and Miller believes they have come to the anti-Trump party much too late.
