A brief history of what current "NeverTrump" Republicans have believed in the 21st Century:

2001: They hate us for our freedom
2002: Massive surveillance and racial profiling keeps us safe.
2003: We have to fight them there so we don't fight them here.
2003: Mission Accomplished

2003: Torture is probably okay.
2004: John Kerry wasn't really a Vietnam war hero.
2005: Mid-tranche CDOs are a good thing.
2006: It's okay if the Vice President shoots someone's face off.
2007: The Fed shouldn't do anything to combat the looming recession.
2008: Oh. Shit.

2008: Sarah Palin would make a good Vice President.
2009: Obamacare sucks
2010: If we could harness the Tea Party, we'll be unstoppable.
2011: Occupy Wall Street just wants free stuff.
2012: 47% of Americans are takers
2013: We don't need the voting rights act.

2014: Obama shouldn't wear tan suits
2014: Let's vote to repeal Obamacare 1,500 times.
2015: BENGHAZI!
2015: Jeb!
2015: Donald Trump isn't a serious candidate.
2016: It's okay to steal Supreme Court seats.
2016: Donald Trump can't win the Republican nomination.

2017: Donald Trump will be presidential now.
2018: Oh. Shit.
2019: Democrats should primarily be concerned with making things easy for me, a Republican.
2019: Bernie Sanders can't win the nomination.
2020: Bernie Sanders can't win the general.

There are legitimate concerns about Bernie. But I'll take them from people who haven't spent the last 2 decades being wrong about almost everything.

PS: I did this off the top of my head, so I apologize if I got any of the years wrong or left off your favorite Republican failure
