Mindy Finn, Evan McMullin’s VP: Now Is The Time For Conservatives

I’ve noticed something curious about GOP politicians and talking heads lately: they won’t talk about us.

There seems to be a never ending parade of people who refuse to endorse, have unendorsed, or are “condemndorsing” Donald Trump. Many a tweet, blog post, and think-piece has been devoted to Mr. Trump’s atrocious thoughts, words, and deeds. But as Election Day draws near, more attention is starting to be paid to what will happen to the GOP should Trump lose.

Every election prompts the losing party to conduct an “autopsy” on the campaign, struggling to learn what went wrong. Usually, it consists of a lot of navel gazing, followed by patting each other on the back, before finally filing the document away and declaring that lessons have been learned. Consider the primary message of Mitt Romney’s loss in 2012: Republicans need to do a better job respecting and responding to the issues of minority voters. That lesson was not just ignored; it has been devastatingly abandoned. Mr. Trump is historically unpopular with women and minorities, and deservedly so. He hasn’t just ignored minority outreach and issues, he’s overtly antagonized and insulted them.

Now, a lot of conservatives and former GOP figures seem to be trying to ride out the storm, waiting to fight over who will be king of the rubble pile left in the wake of Hurricane Donald. Joe Scarborough and Michael Steele are just two of the latest to publish pieces on reforming the GOP. They all seem to follow a familiar pattern: Trump is bad, the party needs to be inclusive, and if it doesn’t change the GOP may die.

But there’s a glaring omission in their narrative: Someone has already stood up for inclusive conservatism in America: Evan McMullin. He is the only conservative running for President, and he’s the only independent or third party candidate with a chance of winning Electoral Votes. Those two facts aren’t unrelated. Try as they might to ignore it, Evan is proving that true conservative principles still resonate with the American people.

If the party had learned from its lessons on the last two failed elections we wouldn't have Trump.  Those pat on the back and file another election away without reflect is serious death.
