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.

## Transcript

I am a unifier. Once we get all of this finished I'm gonna go after one person, that's Hillary Clinton on the assumption she's allowed to run. I watched Hillary's speech and she's talking about wages have been poor, and everything's poor, and everything's badly but we're gonna make it. She's been there for so long. [ LAUGH ] I mean, if she hasn't straightened it out by now She's not gonna straighten it out in the next four years. It's just gonna become worse and worse. She wants to make America whole again and I'm trying to figure out what is that all about. Make America great again is gonna be much better than making America whole again.

They're declaring Marco Rubio the big loser of the night, which is true. He didn't win anything. He hasn't won anything period. And by the way, and I have to tell, and he was very, very nasty. I've never heard a person get up and speak on an evening like this and be so nasty, but he's got a right to be nasty. He hasn't won anything and he's not gonna win very much. And I think, honestly, we've done something that almost nobody thought could be done. And I'm very proud of it. And I just want to leave you with this. I am a unifier. I would love to see the Republican party and everybody get together and unify.

And when we unify, is nobody, nobody that's gonna beat us.
