The Best #NeverTrump Posts on Social Media
GOP presidential candidate and billionaire Donald Trump might not be happy heading into the Super Tuesday primary polls on March 1. The #NeverTrump was trending the entire weekend starting with one of his rivals, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, per Reuters.
According to a report by the New York Times, many members of the Republican Party have hated Trump for months. There were even plans to air advertisements against Trump, but many rich donors opposed the idea. However, Rubio and Ted Cruz got the upper hand over the GOP favorite in last Thursday's CNN debate. The criticism from his rivals effectively began the #NeverTrump campaign on social media.

Reuters noted that Trump's failure to renounce former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke's endorsement provoked more tweets against him. However, the 69-year-old is blaming an earpiece as an explanation and insisted that he already rejected Duke's support.
"I'm sitting in a house in Florida with a very bad earpiece that they gave me, and you could hardly hear what he was saying," Trump said as quoted by Politico. Nevertheless, it did not stop the #NeverTrump trend and here are the best posts on social media.
A disqualifying & disgusting response by @realDonaldTrump to the KKK. His coddling of repugnant bigotry is not in the character of America. — Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) February 29, 2016
Wow. Trump blaming his failure to repudiate the hatred & extremism of the KKK on a #BadEarpiece. #NeverTrump — Whitney Westerfield (@KyWhitney) February 29, 2016
#NeverTrump Because we need a leader with character, not one who is a character.

Because the man thinks he can (a) bring no specifics & (b) insult everyone in the room, and then leave a negotiation having won. #NeverTrump — Will Antonin (@Will_Antonin) February 27, 2016
#NeverTrump because my family and Latino hertiage means way too much to me. And I won't let a petty, racist xenophobe represent me.

Trump's supporters were able to make their #AlwaysTrump campaign trending with over 201,000 tweets, as reported by FDA News Alert. The GOP frontrunner has been taking over Twitter whether it's positive or negative news and can be seen as part of his campaign.
