Many establishment-friendly Republicans and conservative pundits kept up their campaign to stop Donald Trump’s ascendance to the party’s presidential nomination on Tuesday night, continuing to promote the hashtag #NeverTrump on social media even as Trump [racked up a string of Super Tuesday victories](http://time.com/4243778/super-tuesday-primary-results-donald-trump-hillary-clinton/?14&xid=homepage).

Tim Miller, who was the spokesman for former presidential candidate Jeb Bush, has been a vocal critic of Trump. “Donald’s campaign will go the way of Trump Mortgage & Trump Steaks. Will fight til last delegate counted #Nevertrump,” Miller [posted on Twitter](https://twitter.com/Timodc/status/704825684707942400) on Tuesday, as the Super Tuesday results rolled in.

_Politico_ reported Tuesday that [Miller had signed on](http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-gop-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/03/super-tuesday-anti-trump-super-pac-donors-220065) to be the spokesman for an anti-Trump super PAC, Our Principles PAC, which on the same day released a [new ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JGJVJTwLYo&feature=youtu.be) denouncing Trump as unelectable.

Conservative pundit Erick Erickson touted #NeverTrump bumper stickers. But others emphasized that a vote for Trump would still be better than a vote for Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

“I think the movement to stop Donald Trump is probably not a good idea, and the reason I say that is because even though he may not be the ideal candidate, if we splinter, we will guarantee a win for Hillary Clinton, and a win for Hillary Clinton will be a major loss for America,” Republican candidate Ben Carson said in an [interview with the _Independent Journal Review_](https://www.facebook.com/injoamerica/videos/10154460529887971/), when asked about the #NeverTrump movement.

See how some people were using the #NeverTrump hashtag on Super Tuesday.
