This week on The Ticket 2016: The different faces of the Never Trump movement. While much of the party leadership has gotten behind Donald Trump, there are still plenty of conservative voters who aren’t sure what they’ll do in November.

We also talk to one of the most well-known Texas conservatives who is still on the fence: Empower Texans President and CEO Michael Quinn Sullivan.
