An important and welcome choice: Judge Gorsuch will help restore much needed faithfulness to the Constitution.
— Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) February 1, 2017
Many conservatives who proudly called themselves #NeverTrump are pleased with Trump’s choice of Neil Gorsuch to fill the SCOTUS vacancy left by the late Justice Scalia. JuiceVoxer Matt Yglesias seems to think that’s hilarious for some reason.
Aside from failing to understand the point of #NeverTrump …
Its almost like MY has no understanding of what NeverTrump was about or even who was part of it.

Area progressive pundit baffled that principled adults focus on advancing their principles https://t.co/KtpKHPAyM5

Yglesias also apparently has no ability to gauge relative levels of embarrassment:

Oh, Matt. You are the last person who gets to accuse anyone of being pathetic and/or embarrassing.
You cannot be this dense and obtuse.

Sure he can!

And who can forget about this gem?
There is, of course, plenty more where that came from. Because this is Matt Yglesias, after all.

Even if we ignore Matt’s long list of embarrassing and pathetic failures, there are plenty of political failures far more worthy of derision than #NeverTrump. We can even just focus on recent history to make it easier:
Kinda like Hillary's campaign?

seems like #ImWithHer is in the running

And here I was going with "I'm With Her".

I would have to argue that "I'm with her" was a bigger failure.
— Wade_Wilson (@conard3) February 1, 2017
I don't know. The "vote for Hillary" movement seems like a a pretty big fucking failure right now.
— Bullsh!t (@GOP_WH_News) February 1, 2017
More embarrassing and pathetic than the Hillary campaign? As the kids would say, LOL.
— Joe Eule (@joeeule) February 1, 2017
more or less of an embarrassing and pathetic failure, would you say, than Hillary losing the election?
— Andrew Wagner (@andrewwagner) February 1, 2017
As opposed to that train wreck of a candidate Hillary Clinton? What are you talking about?

And Hillary’s just one Democrat! The Democrats have practically written the book on embarrassing and pathetic.

Son, NeverTrump's failure to deny Trump the nom isn't even in the same league as the failure of the Democrat Party. https://t.co/IvdP4RDktT

And the best part?
I don't think the @DemocraticParty are done yet
— Jeremy Parker (@IamBugsPotter) February 1, 2017
Not by a long shot. And something tells us Matt’s not done, either.
