- Nov 07, 2020
The rule of law is crucial to a civilized society - so we should go out of our way to uphold and strengthen it to the extent possible.

- Nov 07, 2020
Republican government presupposes decent and admirable qualities among its citizens - so we should be serious about strengthening character and inculcating virtue.
- Change
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No one can change the definition of what behavior is presidential because that definition fundamentally depends on what our form of government requires, not on what one individual prefers.

Self-government is an experiment. It could still fail.
- Different
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Immigration policy is a complicated issue. Or perhaps one should say immigration policies are complicated, since we have many different immigration laws and practices which interact in complex ways.

I'm choosing not to accept the Trumpification of the GOP as an irreversible fact.
- Achievement
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Here's one measure of the man and the scope of his achievement: No serious historian will be able to write about 20th-century America without discussing Bill Buckley. Before Buckley, there was no conservative movement. After Buckley, there was Ronald Reagan.
- More

- Nov 07, 2020
Reagan was the most important American political figure of the latter half of the 20th century. No one was more central to his emergence and success than Bill Buckley.
- Matter

- Republican
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Republican ticket in 2012 was Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Whatever again you think of them, that's not a dumbed-down ticket.
- Say
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think Palin really led to Trump. Was this somehow a bit of a precursor or something? I'm willing to say, 'Maybe so.'
- Idea
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The idea that democracies could be vulnerable to demagogues is not a new notion.
- Big Difference
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
American history has always had elements of what we now think of as Trumpism - Joe McCarthy, George Wallace, Father Coughlin. It's not as if these things haven't always existed, and they were powerful. The big difference is Trump is president.
- Governance
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think the failures of Republican governance led to a distrust of Republican elites, which is fair enough.
- Hard
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm absolutist on Trump. He shouldn't be president. We should limit the damage he can do as president. And we should try as hard as we can to prevent him from being renominated or reelected.
- Myself
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm trying to uphold what was true about conservatism. I consider myself a Reagan conservative.
- Healthy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In terms of the conservative movement, I do think it would be foolish to deny that Trump has exposed certain aspects of that movement as less healthy than I thought or hoped.
