      1. On the Bret Stephens issue, the problem is he's supposed to bring ideological diversity to NY Times & he really doesn't. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/858098429163163653 …

      2. What 2016 election demonstrates is American political spectrum far broader than what is reflected in op-ed pages of newspapers.

      3. On GOP side, Trump won plurality of vote by appealing not to Wall Street Journal conservatives but Breitbart right-wingers.

      4. On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders, a professed socialist, got 43% of the votes.

      5. The Times already has 2 Never Trump conservatives (Brooks & Douthat) and now they've hired a third. What does that add?

      6. Brooks & Stephens in particular are in pretty much agreement on all issues. Brooks is a better writer & less willing to lie about climate

      7. The ideological spectrum in Times runs from Marco Rubio supporters on the right to Hillary Clinton supporters on left. That's narrow.

      8. Times shouldn't hire based on which candidates columnist support but an interesting op ed page give diversity of voices.

      9. Times doesn't have to hire pro-Trump writers but should hire writers who don't support GOP establishment consensus (that lost).

      10. Why not have anti-war anti-free trade conservatives of the @amconmag stripe? Who would criticize Trump from that stand point?

          11. And on the left, why not have people from the new social movements bubbling up -- BLM, the feminism, Democratic Socialists?

          I agree but find good writers. I assume for example Coates has been offered but turned it down. But maybe not!

          Because the reasonable options have racist baggage. Razib Khan is a good science writer. He also peddled some serious anti-black racism.

          By the way, since you're listing far-left options: Corey Robin and both Bruenigs are options.

          Because they wouldn't be losing subscribers. They'd be losing advertisers.

          has good antiwar pos. Bret Stephens is a Bomb Iran lunatic. It's like NYT hired him to beat the drum for war.
