I’ve been thinking a lot about this issue, stemming from this, @ezraklein’s NYT op-ed on the subject, and Bobby Jindal’s piece today in The Federalist.
I’m workshopping the thought, but there seems to be a sense of expected responsiveness placed upon Democrats (but not the GOP.)https://twitter.com/DavidMDrucker/status/1222489936974229509 …
Oh, Republican politicians have been concern-trolled about that for years, but the entire reason why we're having debates about "Never Trump" is the underlying premise that the Trump presidency constitutes a moral emergency requiring the suspension of normal partisanship.

As we’ve been discussing, the NT debate was partly about two things at the time: 1.) he wouldn’t win or 2.) if he won, bad things — unconservative things — would happen.

Those were 2 of the arguments. There were also arguments that he'd (1) do long-term political damage to the movement & party, (2) do long-term moral & structural damage to America, & (3) create national security risks due to his lack of seriousness/qualifications.

Maybe because the Trump presidency does constitute a unique moral emergency. A corrupt tyranny of the minority.
