Look, you don’t have to be a fan of Donald Trump. I get it. I’ve said before that the last thing I did on election day was decide whether I could vote for Trump or just leave the space blank. At the end of the day, Trump is mostly doing Republican/Conservative things. He’s given us two fantastic SCOTUS picks. He is fighting back against the media and Democrats in a consistent and constant manner. Perhaps, maybe a bit too much, but, as Vox Day points out in SJWs Always Lie, you have to hit them back twice as hard. We’ve been begging for Republicans to fight back, not go squish like they usually do.
But, #NeverTrump is so infused with their Trump Derangement Syndrome that they just can’t give him any credit whatsoever. And here we have the Washington Post’s “Conservative” Max Boot
Many Republicans who lost were relative moderates. The House GOP caucus, indeed the entire GOP, will be Trumpier than ever. This completes the GOP’s transformation from a Reagan-Ryan conservative party into a white-nationalist party in Trump's image. Me: https://t.co/GeUwlValhZ

So, the squishy Republicans, ie, those who so often side with Democrats, lost. But, hey, also Max Boot

That’s right, he called for voting against every single Republican, and when a bunch lose, he complains. So many #NeverTrumpers are also complaining. Here’s what we see at the used-to-be-Conservative Outside The Beltway
There were some satisfying outcomes, wherein rather unsavory characters were defeated. Scott Walker, who was leading big when I went to bed last night, lost. Republican firebrand Kris Kobach lost in deep red Kansas. Joe Manchin, perhaps the only conservative Democrat left in national politics, handily won re-election in red West Virginia.
Alas, Ted Cruz won (as expected) over Beto O’Rourke, whose popularity nationally (including in my Virginia neighborhood) didn’t translate into enough votes in deep red Texas. Brian Kemp’s voter suppression campaign in Georgia was more than enough to overcome even Oprah Winfrey’s intervention. Ron Desantis’ racist dog whistles seem to have worked; then again Andrew Gillum was likely too progressive for red-leaning Florida.
Because of Trump, Republicans are rebelling against all things Republican. Washington Post “conservative” Jennifer Rubin is thrilled that Democrats retook the House and upset that they didn’t get the Senate. S.E. Cupp has lost her mind during her association with CNN
.@secupp says the reality is .@realDonaldTrump had a very good night. The sooner Democrats accept that, the sooner they can figure out how to go about defeating him in 2020. https://t.co/bNFVXsYPQf pic.twitter.com/1gF9tjaR3e

They don’t have to help if they object, but, they are actively attempting to help Democrats win.
