      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....

          That’s because you are not a conservative, which is obviously fine. Matt is a conservative that wants conservatism to survive, so he has no interest in the liberal/partisan “Resistance” that treats conservatism as a cancer that need to go along with Trump.

          I welcome someone to be a sacrificial lamb. Would be the only way I'd give a darn about the GOP. Until then, a pox on all the parties' houses.

          1/ I do wonder if "Reagan conservatives" is a bit out-dated of a term. The next structural change on the right will be generational. The last major generational change on the right occurred when baby boomers replaced the silent generation "country club Republications."

          2/ The fact is that the incoming generation largely will not have lived or remember much about Reagan's presidency. Is calling back to Reagan largely an empty term for a rising generation?

          Nah. It is just #NeverTrump. You could try #NeverEverTrump?? Maybe that will work out better for you True Conservatives?

          We live in a world now where our political discourse takes place at a comic book level. Unfortunately, "The Avengers" is taken.
