      1. I'm sympathetic to respectable conservatives who want to purge Trump from GOP but they're foolish to think factual critique is way to go

      2. Fact-checking Trump is necessary but it has limited utility in dealing with the core base that responds to his message.

      3. For one thing, Trump isn't talking the language of facts and policies but of grievances, aggression, amour propre, & retribution.

      4. The other day the relatively sensible @charlescwcooke was on Fox arguing against Ann Coulter about Trump.

      5. Cooke made perfectly reasonable arguments that Trump wasn't a real conservative or Republican, but his points felt ineffective.

      5. Cooke's assumption is that conservatism & Republican party conservatism are coherent philosophies. But what if they are just attitudes.

      6. What if there's a significant # of people on right whose political philosophy is just thumbing noses at liberals? Then Trump fits in

      7. In any case "respectable" conservatives have done well selling all sorts of anti-rational nostrums (climate denial,supply side economics)

      8. The people who have pushed climate denial are in a little position to challenge Trump for his glib relation to facts & policies.

          @HeerJeet people who believe everything Trump believes are conservative in name because it delivers the same promise of self-interest

          @HeerJeet If facts, arguments, policies, and governing are right out, name-calling is what's left--the Trumpulence, as it were.

          @HeerJeet "Conservative Principles" are only trotted out when needed. True believers like Cooke don't seem to get that.

          @HeerJeet It has long been evident that there is no consistency in conservative views. It's ALL just thumbing noses at liberals.

          @HeerJeet I think the magic words, "Do you really want to give Donald Trump access to the nuclear football", would do him in.

          @HeerJeet heart of the matter. When you keep telling people facts don't matter, you can't convince them with a fact-based argument
