Don Surber: Dear Never Trump https://t.co/q4ojDtHRXL

...I am sticking to the facts.
The fact is, all last summer you warned me that Trump was using the Republican Party. You made him sign a pledge to stay in the party. He signed.
The fact is, he emerged the winner in a field of 17 candidates.
The fact is, you want to renege on the pledge.
The fact is, he is drawing Democrats to the party in numbers not seen since Reagan ran in 1980.
The fact is, he has 7,811,245 votes, and his nearest rival has 5,732,220.
The fact is, he has 739 delegates, and his nearest rival has 465.
The fact is, he has a 67 percent or better chance of getting a majority of the delegates.
The fact is, he is self-funded, which is a problem for what Phyllis Schlafly calls the Donor Class.
The fact is, he is a conservative. Pro-gun? He and his sons acquired rare New York weapons permit for years. Pro-life? A little late to the game, but we need converts. Balanced budget? He is under his own budget by $50 million. Strong on the military. Strong on law enforcement.. Strong on immigration control.
And that latter is what this really is all about: Immigration control. The moneyed interests do not want it. And that includes Fox News owner Sir Rupert Murdoch, and likely those donors who keep the National Review alive. In 60 years, the magazine never made money. Never. I find it odd that a conservative publication does not participate in capitalism.
I also am coming to grips with the reality that foundation conservatives -- those who work for "non-profits" -- are just as out-of-touch as those working for the liberal foundations. Each is conducting utopia in a test tube. We suffer as the guinea pigs for their airy theories. No, free trade has not benefited most of America. DC and NYC maybe, but not Flyover America....
