Texas Lt. Gov. hopeful and 'bold, conscientious NeverTrump voice' Matthew Dowd earns the coveted Jennifer Rubin endorsement

When Matthew Dowd announced his candidacy for Texas Lieutenant Governor — as a Democrat, of course — we laughed. A lot.

And then, we laughed at Jennifer Rubin, because this was her take on Dowd:

A bold, conscientious NeverTrump voice! Running for office. More should do the same! https://t.co/Tme86FGLGX

And if anyone knows bold and conscientious, it’s Jennifer Rubin.

It’s still hilarious in the afternoon.

Oh @ComfortablySmug…this campaign is going to be such a blessing 😂😂 https://t.co/BhjPgBtWxf

LOLLLLLLLL the boldest thing Dowd ever did was go after Arnold's ex-wife. @RuthlessPodcast and @ComfortablySmug will have a field day with this! https://t.co/ZBzbia1Oav

As he should.

You know who has opinions on stuff, @Schwarzenegger. Can we get a comment from him on this? https://t.co/m4G17yJJOC

We have no doubt that Maria Shriver found Matthew Dowd to be a bold and conscientious partner in adultery.

Hes so conscientious that he'll bang your wife while married. The leadership Texas needs! https://t.co/OfAMTWkjxp

Vote for Dowd! Vote for Dowd!

I feel like none of these people understood the 2020 election results in Texas… https://t.co/GxcMmgsoBs

Hairless, presumably.

NeverTrump is not a party. https://t.co/0u0kWQbZha

Well, not with that attitude!

There will come a time, which is either fast-approaching or already here, when you will need a coherent plan for a rebrand from “NeverTrump”, and that will prove to be an existential problem. Because really, what are you? https://t.co/ivVKhdRMd1

A hack. An unapologetic hack.
