Instapundit Glenn Reynolds
collects several comments from others, and comments himself, looking at the opposition to Donald Trump by supposed conservatives. Start with Bret Stephens in the
New York Times:
I admit it gives me pause. I agree with every one of the policy decisions mentioned above. But I still wish Hillary Clinton were president. How does that make sense?
Reynolds comments:
It makes sense in a world in which educated-class tribal loyalties outweigh policy.
And, as James Taranto noted:
This tweet validates my intuition that NeverTrump is about taste far more than policy.
To which, Reynolds adds:
There’s a big status anxiety component, too.
COTTonLINE agrees Trump is somewhat gaudy and loud, bumptious even. But he wins, he gets things done, for that I can forgive much.
