It will take conservatives a lot of work to clean up after Trump. We should start now.
Good points that need to addressed, but I fear they will not be. "It will be necessary to name those problems. Some of them are individuals, including Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh. Some of them are structural; for example, organizations that make money by whipping the GOP base into a fury, and the process by which the GOP nominee is selected. And another problem is the GOP primary base’s decision to nominate this man in the first place. Those voters have agency, and they should not be exempt from the healthy criticism that will be necessary for the conservative movement to move forward. Voters have a duty to use their power responsibly, to make sober judgments about what is in the best interest of the nation and to advance virtue. The GOP primary electorate failed in this important task. Figuring out how to address these problems is hard work, and the solutions aren’t obvious. That hard work should begin now. Another problem has been the conservative policy agenda, which needs to be rethought."
