This article:
When you let a closet Democrat like Trump lead the GOP, this is what you get
by Rick Wilson, a Republican consultant and a Daily Beast columnist,
has this lovely paragraph:
"As a longtime GOP consultant, I’ve always had a half-joking, half-serious rule about political candidates and elected officials: They can be tough, smart, decent or talented, but of those traits, they realistically only get to choose two. Trump, entirely sui generis* in our politics, is a successful politician embodying none of those. He’s poorly briefed, malleable, crass and dishonest, and all he cares about is how he comes across in the press. Which makes it damn-near impossible for any self-respecting conservative to understand him, anticipate his positions or trust him on policy."It's really hard to improve on artistry like that.
