      Jeff Flake running for president probably won't help--and might hurt--the #NeverTrump cause. Here's how we take back the movement for Reagan conservatives. It's a long game... http://thebea.st/2Gqoz48?source=twitter&via=desktop … via @thedailybeast

      Look, I wrote a whole book criticizing Trump-ism from the right. We need more opinion leaders to do that--& more GOP politicians willing to stop him when he overreaches. But you don't win the presidency by virtue signaling or (perceived) bed-wetting.

          This movement needs a name. #NeverTrump is a negative term. Same with the "Resistance"--which also has it's own baggage. "Reagan conservative" hearkens to the past. "Classical liberal" has a specific meaning that doesn't necessarily apply to everyone in this rubric....

          Too bad you don't have a clue what conservatism is. Even worse that some people might actually believe you do.

          Strong dissent. An organized conservative opposition is necessary, and only an elected R challenging Trump & Trumpism is likely to get such an opposition in place ASAP. Plus it's the right thing to do. And calling out what is wrong isn't virtue signaling, it's defending virtue.

          Sasse would be better. But if Flake is the only one with the courage to do it, he hits the threshold requirements for the role.

          Praising his policies when they align with orthodoxy tempers the ability to focus on a root problem , his unabashed mendacity. It permeates and sullies everything that flows from it.
