      Same practical plane, therefore you’d be indifferent between a party with no squishes and one with no bigots? Yikes.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1204605416619073536 …

      The same practical plane. People who cause a party to diverge from the principles & objectives it proclaims to voters are a liability & can lead to rebellions like Trump. Purity tests are bad, but the worst offenders should be regularly culled so voters know what you stand for. https://twitter.com/pennbarker/status/1204528422795513858 …

      Many people in any party are a little of one, a little of the next. Consider: should Lincoln in 1860-64 have pursued a party with no bigots, or a party that would defeat the slave power & its rebellion? Bear in mind, he could only have one of the two.

      And if we litmus-tested him out of leadership over some of the things he did & said before 1858, or some of the people he courted or endorsed, we'd never have had him as the leader who could do that.

      Who’s we? Some journalists? This is a category mistake. We get paid to comment on things as we see them, openly and honestly — not to win elections. That’s a different job entirely.

      If I'm missing a significantly divergent set of takes more favorable to Haley & other Republicans in her position, I'm listening. One can only judge a publication's editorial line by the overall body of what is published, & whether it takes a consistent posture.

      NR has, I think one can safely say, run a very broad spectrum of opinion on Trump & where conservatism goes next.

          Extremely rare to see even something so short as s tweet on this topic where one can agree with every sentence, much less every syllable. This is one of those tweets.👏
