Trump supporters, for the most part, have always been amused at the antics of those who have been deemed the “Never Trumpers.” They tend to populate all of the mainstream media talking head news shows, primarily because they are allegedly Republicans willing to trash other Republicans, but they decry any Donald Trump presidency or those who support him. They long for the days of John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Liz Cheney, and soon, Mitt Romney. The days when Republicans didn’t rock the boat and were willing to “lose with dignity.” Well, move over, Never-Trumpers; there are new kids on the block. Meet the “Never-Bidens.”
Joe Biden is making friends fast. Ok, not really. In fact, it’s just the opposite. In addition to a recent New York Times/Siena College/Philadelphia Enquirer poll that shows he is losing key Democrat voter demographics like black and Hispanic voters and young people, he is also losing some heavy hitters in the arena of big money donors. One of the main reasons is Biden’s recent statement that he would halt any arms shipments to Israel. Biden has since backtracked on that statement, but the damage may have already been done.
Cliff Asness is the co-founder of AQR Capital Management and a Republican donor. He contributed roughly seven figures to Nikki Haley’s campaign and could have well been considered a “Never-Trumper.” Based on Biden’s initial arms to Israel statement, that is changing. He stated:
“Biden is a huge disappointment, really a moral outrage with this arms embargo being only the latest and greatest outrage. Despite my long opposition to him, this makes me more likely, though I haven’t quite gotten there yet, to see Trump as the better of two bad alternatives.”
