      2. Trump is on track to win nomination with majority of delegates. So what happens to all those conservatives who tweeted #NeverTrump

      3. Already some #neverTrump people are indicating that their position was a temporary one & they'll support him if he's nominee.

      4. Based on my sense people's character & inclination, I'd say about 80% of #neverTrump people will end up voting for Trump.

      5. The deep divide will be between people committed to the Republican party & those committed to conservative ideas.

      6. It's the divide between @BillKristol & @DouthatNYT. Superficially they are both Republican-supporting intellectuals.

      7. Distinction between Kristol & Douthat is this: Kristol is an apparatchik, a party hack. If the party picks Trump, he'll fall in line.

      8. I could be wrong, but I think @DouthatNYT is different. For him GOP is vehicle for his conservative ideas but not an end in itself.

      9. Despite Andrew Sullivan's hyperventilation, Trump is not an extinction event for American Republic or even the Republican.

      10. Trump is, however, an extinction event for the American conservative movement as it has existed since 1950s.

      11. Trump will call himself a conservative but remake conservatism in his own image:https://twitter.com/MajorCBS/status/727291460337410049 …

      12. Trump's conservatism will be nationalist, unilateralist, protectionist, for tighter borders & relatively indifferent to social issues.

          @HeerJeet Conservative policies which actually try to conserve something.

          @ScottMcConnell9 Right, I think that's Trump's strength -- that he speaks to real issues that are part of everyday life.

          13. Trump's style of conservatism will be very different than the coalition of neo-cons, religious right & corporate America we are used to.

          @HeerJeet Which is much of the "alt-right" movement. Do you think that is here to stay because of how big Trump is, or is it a fad?
