Donald Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee. Ted Cruz is out. Reince Priebus is telling Republicans to unify around Trump.
And yet, the #NeverTrump movement from anti-Trump conservatives is still going strong.
A major #NeverTrump PAC put out a statement tonight saying this is not over:

How serious are #NeverTrump conservatives about opposing The Donald? A RedState editor tweeted Hillary Clinton‘s campaign slogan, the managing editor of The Washington Examiner de-registered as a member of the Republican party, and a staff writer for the Washington Free Beacon posted a photo of him burning his voter registration card:

And that was only the tip of the iceberg:
Reporters writing about the "Stop Trump" effort get it wrong. It's "Never Trump" as in come hell or high water we will never vote for Trump

So do I leave the GOP now, or wait until it's official at the convention?

Congratulate the Trump supporters. Tonight will be their high point. In six months, they'll be blaming the rest of us for their choices.

I'd rather give up SCOTUS for a decade than the Republic forever. And Trump's picks wouldn't be any better. https://t.co/YM3Zns7hCl

Congratulations, Trump fans. The disaster that awaits us will be on your shoulders. I'm done. Tonight was my last as a Republican.

When I said Never Trump, I meant Never Trump. That has not changed, and never will.

Fun Fact: Contrary to the claims of some, it is possible to be both #NeverTrump and #NeverHillary.
