Right Now
Statements of Principle
Ben Sasse: "An Open Letter to Majority America"
"I'll continue fighting to revive the GOP with ideas -- but when people's needs aren't being met, they ultimately find other solutions [...] With Clinton and Trump, the fix is in. Heads, they win; tails, you lose. Why are we confined to these two terrible options? This is America. If both choices stink, we reject them and go bigger. That's what we do."
David French: "What Now, Conservatives?"
"First, it is absolutely vital that conservatives stay firm in their opposition to Trump [...] Next, donors, activists, and volunteers must go all-in to preserve the Republican majority in the House [...]"
"Donald Trump has not demonstrated that temperament or strength of character. He has not displayed a respect for the Constitution [...] In November, I will not vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, but I will support principled conservatives at the state and federal levels, just as I have done my entire life."

I also cannot in good conscience support Donald Trump because I do not believe he is a reliable Republican conservative....(4)

#NeverTrump means...never. The mission of distinguishing him from Republican positions and conservative values remains critical.
