Bret Stephens in the NY Times

 


But if the Paul Ryans of the conservative world want to make a compelling case against Trump, it can’t be that he’s unelectable. It’s that he’s irredeemable. It’s that he brought shame to the party of Lincoln, that he violated his oath to the Constitution, that he traduced every value Republicans once claimed to stand for and that they will not support him if he is the Republican nominee.

That may not keep Trump from the nomination or even the presidency. But on any road to redemption, the starting point has to be the truth, most of all when it’s hard.
