As if we needed more evidence that the Never Trump crowd is off their rocker, enter Jennifer Rubin.
Rubin writes “reported opinion” at the Washington Post. In other words, she injects her opinion into her “reporting” in the same way Jim Acosta does over at CNN.
Rubin was even more hateful than usual during MSNBC's “AM Joy” program on Sunday.
“It's not only that Trump has to lose, but that all his enablers have to lose — we have to collectively, in essence, burn down the Republican party. We have to level them because if there are survivors — if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again — will take this as confirmation that, “Hey, it just pays to ride the wave — look at me, I've made it through.”
Rubin's anti-GOP screed went on.
“This has become a dysfunctional anti-government party. That is not what the country wants and what it needs. And the proof is in the pudding. The reason they engage in voter suppression is because their underlying agenda is very unpopular. No one's in favor, it turns out, of taking away people's health care. People don't like it when you come after Medicaid and Medicare.”
It's hard to believe Rubin was ever more than a RINO (Republican In Name Only). Those truly committed to conservative principles don't abandon them simply because they don't like Donald Trump.
