      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.

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

      14. What's key is to realize that existing American conservatism is not the only way to be right-wing.

      15. Under existing system, America will always have a right-of-center party, but it doesn't have to accept existing American conservatism.

      16. It's important to realize that alliance between conservative movement & GOP is very recent. It started in our parent's lifetime.

      17. When American conservativism coalesced in 1940s/1950s, it didn't necessarily have to ally itself with GOP. That was a choice.

          19. Some !950s conservative intellectuals wanted to remain outside party politics, others to create 3rd party. Some (Leo Strauss) were Dems.

          20. The Goldwater takeover of GOP in 1964 cemented longlasting alliance, given social form by Southern strategy. But that's coming apart.
