What's this?

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. When you're life...

...can get destroyed for voicing support for something, you're going to be reticent about expressing such support. That doesn't mean you don't support it -- it just means you keep it quiet. Then you vote like your life depends on it.

Also, few, if any, of these NeverTrumpers voted for Trump in 2016, so this doesn't change anything. From what I've been hearing, there are far more 2016 NeverTrumpers who will now crawl over broken glass to vote for Orange Man Bad in 2020. Time will tell.
