Never Trump Republicans are an extraordinary breed of politician, appearing to love self-humiliation in public. There is no other explanation for how often these men and women will double and triple down on their catastrophic political miscalculations.
While the popularity of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) America First political movement has been seen in numerous different polls, Never Trumpers insist that the American people want the RINO branding.
As reported in 2021, More voters would back former President Trump than President Biden in a hypothetical match-up if the 2024 election were held today 92021), according to a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey released exclusively to The Hill.
Forty-eight percent of voters in the survey said they would back Trump, compared with 45 percent for Biden. Another 8 percent were unsure.
Simply put, these RINO, Never Trumpers, like Adam Kinzinger, refuse to address the American people’s needs, wants, and expressed desires- preferring to “buy their own press,” or more specifically, the left-leaning media’s utopian polls and fake news on political issues.
In the US, we have had the Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) for a long time. Recently those anti-Conservative members of the GOP have taken an intense focus on Donald J. Trump- earning the name of “Never Trumper,” and they have not been successful at all save their participation in a highly corrupt 2020 election that has ignited the American people against them.
Yet these strange people persist in pushing their unwanted personal agendas- to weaken the Republican Party- by insisting that their point of view is accurate, that the fake news is true- and that they are right.
Never Trumpers believe that the American people will want what they are pitching out.
It is like they never learned to readjust their thinking or do any self-evaluation at all. So they certainly are not thinking of themselves as representatives of the people- because they apparently are not paying attention to what the people are saying and doing.
In this example of a strange Never Trumper, ‘crying’ Adam Kinzinger- who has retired from his position as a US Rep. is now oddly thinking of running for the position of President of the United States of America- if Donald J. Trump runs again.
Kinzinger, whose feelings were so hurt- and who is fragile that he openly sobbed at a hearing about the events at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Those actions earned him a seat on the Democrat Dominated US House Committee to persecute supporters of Trump, and shortly after accepting the fellowship of Trump haters- Kinzinger declared that he was leaving office and not seeking elections in Illanois.
Media reports this week indicate that Kinzinger is now ready to face Trump down on the national stage.
“Anti-Trump Republican Adam Kinzinger says he would love to run against the ex-President in a GOP primary so he can call out his ‘garbage’, The Daily Mail reported.
“Air Force Veteran told HuffPost that it would be ‘fun’ to call Trump’s ‘garbage’ out in a campaign — but gave no inclination that he’s putting his hat in the ring for 2024.”
The Illinois Republican lawmaker is retiring from the House of Representatives and said in Monday’s interview suggests he may not run for Senate or governor of his state either, as was previously speculated when he announced he’s stepping down ‘Even if he crushed me, like in a primary, to be able to stand up and call out the garbage is just a necessary thing,’ Kinzinger said of possibly facing Trump.
Neither Kinzinger nor Trump have definitely said they’re running in 2024. Kinzinger was censured by the RNC earlier this year for his work on the Democrat-led Capitol riot committee and for criticizing Trump Illinois’ newly-redrawn Congressional map would also pit him against another incumbent Republican lawmaker, Rep. Darin LaHood.
During the interview- Kinzinger showed his backward thinking about what politics is really about. Apparently, the part about being in the spotlight is what he likes- not the idea about serving the people:
‘I would love it. I really would,’ Kinzinger said of running against the ex-leader.
‘Even if he crushed me, like in a primary, to be able to stand up and call out the garbage is just a necessary thing, regardless of who it is.’
He added, ‘I think it’d be fun.’
The interview notes that Kinzinger is aware that even running for state office would be difficult, with candidacies for governor or Senate being long shots after the Illinois Republican Party censured him for helping Democrats investigate Trump’s ties to the January 6 Capitol riot.
As for running for the White House, the military veteran said: ‘I’ll make a decision when we get there if there’s a need and desire.’
‘It’s truly not anything I’m planning right now, but I’m not going to rule it out,’ Kinzinger explained.
Perhaps we should call them the “Never Learners.”
