Fleece Vest and MAGA Hat Discuss Donald Trump – WSJ

Sometimes, if I listen really carefully, I can hear in my head the fragments of a dialogue between two voices capturing the ambivalence thoughtful conservatives feel about their current political choices. Yes, I m hearing voices so you might not want to take anything I say seriously. But before you demand my immediate institutionalization, at least listen to the conversation, and, as Donald Trump builds an unassailable lead in the barely-started-but-already-apparently-over Republican primary, ask yourself if maybe you might not be hearing the same things. It goes like this:

Fleece vest-wearing conservative: How can you possibly vote for Trump?

MAGA hat-wearing conservative: How can you possibly not vote for Trump?

Fleece vest: I m sorry, you re going to have to explain yourself.

MAGA hat: You go first.
