Here Are The Top 99 #NeverTrump Republicans Everyone Needs To Know

SPREAD THIS LIST: Here Are The Top 99 #NeverTrump Republicans Everyone Needs To Know Advertisement ­ story continues below If you want to see just how delusional the #NeverTrump squad is, all you need to do is watch — or rather, listen to — Sen. Ted Cruz’s concession speech in Indiana when he withdrew from the race. Cruz was mutedly telling the audience that he said he would push forward until he was convinced there was no viable path forward. As soon as the word “Unfortunately …” escaped his lips, though, the crowd shrieked “no!” as if they’d all just watched Ivanka Trump gun down their dog. Apparently, the democratic process and the will of the people is a hard pill to swallow for the #NeverTrump crowd, which is why they’ve been riding the wahmbulance pretty hard this week. And while some Republicans have come to their senses and gotten behind The Donald, there’s still a pretty strong contingent of major conservative figures for whom President Hillary Clinton is apparently an easier concept to accept than reality. Advertisement ­ story continues below WND assembled a list of nearly 100 of them who are still hitting the #NeverTrump cause hard. Some of them are unsurprising. Sen. Lindsey Graham, for instance, leads off the list. Radio hosts Mark Levin and Glenn Beck, both of whom have been vocal opponents of Trump, are there too. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R­S.C. Rep.
