Donald Trump and the Professional Conservative ClassBy Steve McCannRecently, I came across a tweet from Bill Kristol commenting on some recent polling data favorable to Donald Trump. Bill is one of the founders of not only the Weekly Standard magazine, but also the NeverTrump movement. He wrote:
I've been looking at some polling crosstabs and I've got to say to my fellow white men over 55: you are a great disappointment to me. On the other hand, it seems fitting and consistent with the American story that women, minorities and young people now step up to save the republic.
There are two major political parties in the United States. The titular head of one is Donald Trump, who, per Bill Kristol, is an unstable reprobate. Therefore, in the NeverTrump mentality, only the current iteration of the Democratic Party can "save the republic." The nation must be rescued from the clutches of Trump and his allies in the present-day Republican Party. These outrageous blights on the American character must be soundly defeated in the upcoming midterm election if there is any hope for the future.
Bill and his fellow travelers such as Jennifer Rubin, David Frum, Max Boot, and George Will, among other NeverTrumps and their allies, are telling each other, and anyone who will listen, that Trump is not only far worse than the Democrats in Congress, but solely responsible for the combative state of American politics.
