list.<\/p>\n<p>A list of those so-called conservatives and Republicans endorsing Donald Trump, the megalomaniac who regularly threatens his opponents and the press, raves about making members of our military adopt ISIS-like tactics, has funded Obamacare and Gang of Eight Democrats, promises to forcibly relocate American companies to his liking, and has demonstrated again and again he intends to govern as a tyrannical King rather than a President.<\/p>\n<p>Call it a boycott, call it a blackball, call it a blacklist, call it whatever you want. I&rsquo;m done with these folks and other conservatives should be, too.&nbsp; Anyone who will defend a man condoning random acts of violence at his rallies has lost his morals; he will defend anything at all.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&rsquo;d like to remember who supported Trump so I never give any kind of credence to their judgment. &ldquo;Never Trump&rdquo; means never those who support him as well. <\/p>\n<p>Here is the list of current federal and state GOP officials, former Republican officials, and private citizens who have formally endorsed Trump if anyone else is interested in joining me.&nbsp; Each and every one of his endorsers should be held accountable in their future elections or political ventures.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a
