#1 Meh. Given the information available, Never Trump was the right call. Happily, we were wrong. Get over it.

#2 Judge Neil Gorsuch, a man qualified beyond any doubt to fill that seat.

Quite similar to all the other nominations, as best as I can tell.

#3 you don’t have to be one of them to care about the country and stick up for the Constitution.

That seems to assume that the "NeverTrumpers" think that those are positives. I don't think they do.

#4 Bill Kristol is gone. National Review may have permanently wounded their brand.

#5 ...you don't have to be one of them to care about the country and stick up for the Constitution.

That's an interesting turn of phrase there Charlie. It's probably fair to say every president has stuck up for the Constitution. Not all have followed the Constitution. Your assessment may be a tad premature. Here's hoping your right.

#6 Not that I agree with the sentiment, but it helps with accuracy if the entire line was quoted:

It would be nice for the holier-than-thou Never Trumpers to finally acknowledge how wrong they were and concede that maybe, just maybe, you don’t have to be one of them to care about the country and stick up for the Constitution.

#7 The latest Gorsuch 'news' I have seen is that his HS yearbook lists him as the founder of the 'Fascists Forever' club. (No record of such a club exists, and the best explanation is it was a comment on the then-current description of Pres. Reagan as a fascist.)
