The '''Never Trump movement''' was a political group opposed to [[Donald Trump]]'s candidacy for President, even after Trump became the front-runner in the [[United States presidential election, 2016|2016 Republican presidential race]].  The movement included [[neocons]], [[globalist]]s, [[Cruzites]], [[Leftists]], [[feminists]], and pro-[[illegal immigration]] [[Democrat Party|Democrat]]s.  The movement largely was coordinated by [[MSM]] and intelligence agencies after Trump openly questioned the need for the continued existence of [[NATO]]. There are also some [[liberal]]-leaning [[Republicans]] who declared their opposition to Trump.  These Republican opponents included current and former elected officials, and a few mostly older commentators and academics. According to a 2019 journal article published by Cambridge University Press, Never-Trumpers are significantly less [[conservative]] than supporters of Trump.<ref>[https://twitter.com/MattGrossmann/status/1164899644528189441 Matt Grossmann].

The term "Never-Trumper" refers particularly to [[Republicans]] who remain stridently, though often secretively, opposed to the Republican president.  This includes a cluster of the Utah Establishment, for whom [[Mitt Romney]] is a puppet, and various [[neocon]]s and [[Koch brothers]] types.
