Concern Trolls: NeverTrump "Republicans" Have Been Meeting Secretly to Plot Their #Resistance, Calling Their Clique... "The Meeting of the Concerned"

"Meeting of the Concerned” sounds like what @KurtSchlichter or @AceofSpadesHQ would write to make fun of them. https://t.co/vR7OGiFjCW

Alternate headline: Liberal Democrats don't like Republican base.

According to the Washington Post, a group of prominent libertarians and conservatives have been getting together every few weeks as part of what they call the "Meeting of the Concerned." And the group -- which includes such prominent Never Trumpers as Weekly Standard co-founder Bill Kristol, and Mediaite columnist John Ziegler -- is now taking its first formal steps to oppose Trump.

Among their agenda items: Rallying for total unquestioning loyalty to Robert Mueller. (Overstated, but seriously, that's what they're on about.)

I'd like to think of them as the #CruiseControllers, though of course they've lost control and are unhappy about that.
