      As my piece notes, the Never Trump arguments from 2016 still matter, but we can't let a slogan from 4 years ago do our thinking for us. It's important to work through where we are today. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/11/i-was-never-trump-in-2016-im-still-a-conservative-heres-how-im-voting/ …pic.twitter.com/LYMNi3uT8i

      I confess I was unsatisfied with the conclusion of my piece, but I was even more unsatisfied with every effort to get comfortable with the other conclusion. Which is why working through both sides of the argument at length was so importanthttps://www.nationalreview.com/2020/11/i-was-never-trump-in-2016-im-still-a-conservative-heres-how-im-voting/ …

          yup, had to go Kanye and don't know how I'll feel about it a few years from now - I guess I'm hoping I regret it because whoever ends up as the next president surprises me to the upside.

          this was indeed a thorough examination of the arguments and I understood by the end how truly difficult this was for you to write. I appreciate your genuine effort here.

          Had the same back and forth in my head for 8 months and finally reached a conclusion after the last debate, though a different one.

          I come down in exactly the same place, for essentially the same reasons.

          This is where I ended up this year. Since I'm not in a swing state, it wasn't a tough choice to not vote for either. If I were in a swing state, the choice to not vote for either would have been much tougher.

          "Trump is unfit for the job by every measure, and I know it. All the political teamwork in the world cannot change that. I cannot convince myself that this is something we should accept. I cannot make it my choice to keep him there. I will continue to respectfully dissent."
