NeverTrumps Renamed: AlwaysDemocrats
President Donald Trump  is approaching the end of  his  first year in the White House with an impressive list of accomplishments: a big tax cut  repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate  huge regulatory rollback  judicial appointments including Neil Gorsuch  the Keystone pipeline  Paris Accords withdrawal  ANWR drilling  recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital  and a first bite at immigration reform.
It seems inexplicable. Former Cabinet secretary in the Reagan administration Bill Bennett believes that  Donald Trump  is more conservative than Ronald Reagan and that  his  Cabinet selections are  too. That's quite the endorsement from someone who was part of the Reagan revolution â not some conservative pundit saying this  but a true Reaganite.
Stephens wrote a recent column  "Why I'm still a NeverTrumper [sic]." After rattling off a list of  Trump 's first-year accomplishments  he asks  "What  for a conservative  is there to dislike about this policy record as the  Trump  administration rounds out its first year in office?"
Good question. The easy answer for most conservatives is "nothing." Sure  the wall isn't built yet  and Obamacare is still in place.  Trump 's fault or Congress's? But overall  it's been a great first year  as Mr. Stephens observes â despite the fact that  Trump  is opposed by all three branches of government  even the one he presides over.
 Trump  is fighting Deep State imbeds in the Executive Branch. Just observe the DOJ and FBI and how they concocted the Russia collusion story to prevent  then destroy  his presidency. In the Legislative Branch   Trump  is opposed not only by Democrats  but also by many Republicans. The judiciary is no better  substituting personal animosity for the rule of law  especially regarding immigration policy.
Suppose Stephens got his wish â a Madame President. None of  Trump 's accomplishments would have come to pass. A far-left agenda would have pushed America to a point of no return as the America Stephens and his fellow NeverTrumps profess to desire.  Trump  is actually accomplishing what these so-called conservatives only talk about but never achieve.
