      I thought the standard we were discussing was fealty to the constitution and to American democracy. As for “facing the wrath of [a] party’s voters”, I don’t think many modern politicians from either party pass that test. Do you?

      Dave's point is that we should be like the Democrats and side blindly with our own all the time, no matter what they do. I'm disagreeing with that.

      Right—but that’s just empirically false. The Dems recently forced the resignation of a very popular senator, Al Franken. They also, around the same time, forced the resignation of a prominent long term member of Congress, John Conyers.

      They forced out Franken only when they knew they could safely replace him with a D. Ditto Conyers. Something like the Never Trump movement would be impossible - inconceivable - on the D side.

      They did what they had to do. Well, a crackpot, authoritarian, revanchist, financially corrupt moral monster of Trump’s world historic scale is impossible within the Democratic Party. And there is no “Never Trump” *movement*—just never Trump writers. The Party supports Trump.

      Well, you can support progressive talking points if that's what floats your boat.

      It’s true. I don’t know who you guys think you’re writing for anymore.

      Here’s where I agree with Dave (who called me a fascist, but I have a soft spot for Dave, go figure): “Never Trump” punches above its weight because it has cultural/intellectual capital. Like you, Dan—you’ve written some lucid polemics lately.

      It also serves the interests of the country club not the bowling league.

      Dave, I like you and we still agree on many more things than not, but I guarantee I am a much bigger hate figure on the left than you'll ever be. Because I won't give them what they want.

          True, Dan, you’re utterly polemical in a completely tendentious way, absurdly so, even as you fantasize the modern GOP is still the party of Lincoln and Douglass. But you’ve shown baseline integrity here re Trump, so I commend you for that. But Dave’s right about the mass base.
