      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.

      18. Eisenhower's Republican party was not a conservative party but a moderate one. Most conservative intellectuals of time didn't like

      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.

      21. What Trump has demonstrated is that many right-wing Republican's don't give a fig about conservative movement orthodoxy.

      22. Trump proves plurality of GOP voters want an American Peron & not a devotee of Russell Kirk, Leo Strauss, Michael Oakeshott, etc.

      23. Even if Trump loses in the general, the GOP will fall under his sway. They will nominate a slicker, streamlined Trump in 2020.

      24. Losing candidates still remake parties because they show what you have to do to energize base. Goldwater remade GOP. So will Trump.

      25. The party hacks will make peace with Trumpism, the intellectuals will fall away & become politically homeless. That's for the best.

      26. So: predictions. All of Fox (including Megyn Kelly) will go Trump. Most of Weekly Standard. But not @jpodhoretz or Rich Lowry.

          @HeerJeet @jpodhoretz FOX and the rest will go all in for Trump. They are too scared of losing the Senate and SCOTUS.

          @HeerJeet but the big Q is whether Lowry, Pod, etc. will use their media firepower against Trump or just sit this out.

          @HeerJeet can we get a rain check on the Kelly part? Would seem an obvious hit to her integrity to go for Trump.

          @HeerJeet The risk of Trump flaming out spectacularly has to scare some GOP pols. What they say now could come back to bite in 2018 and 2020
