#NeverTrump Is Having a Collective Meltdown on Twitter

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

The #NeverTrump movement is all but dead. Following a drubbing of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the Indiana primary on Tuesday night, Donald Trump rose from a GOP front-runner to a GOP damn-near-certain nominee. And then Cruz and Kasich decided to drop out of the race.

That leaves #NeverTrumpers in a bind. Some have concluded that presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would be a better choice than Trump in November. Others have thrown their hands up in disgust. And a growing camp has come around to the idea that, well, #MaybeTrump.

Here’s what some prominent #NeverTrump people had to say on Twitter in the aftermath of the Indiana bloodbath.

Half-right: #NeverClinton. Other half: #NeverTrump. #WeCanDoBetter https://t.co/H5hi4wdBsZ

The ONLY way I leave the #NeverTrump camp is if @TedCruz gets the Scalia SCOTUS seat. Trump would have to sign the promise in blood.

You thought you saw an angry electorate voting for #Trump in the primary, wait until you see the angry conservatives NOT voting GOP in Nov!

Hi #NeverTrump.

Where’s your god now?

With 15 vanquished, who will the #NeverTrump geniuses have Kasich form an alliance with now?

Losers.

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it.

More than a few #NeverTrump people have grown even more dedicated to the cause since the Indiana vote. The number of signatures on NeverTrump.com has eclipsed 30,000 as of early Wednesday afternoon. More than 1,000 of those came after last night’s election results.
