Russia and the Never Trumpers HotAir

Most of all, the Never Trump pundits had a duty to put away childish preoccupation with themselves and realize that every circumstance contains the possibility of better and worse outcomes. Mr. Trump is not a principled politician in whatever limited sense the word applies in Washington. He is hardly a Republican. He is not ideological. The potential for new coalitions to get interesting things done was obvious with his arrival, but it s hard not to suspect the Russia hoax was exactly and deeply what many of Mr. Trump s fans said a defense by a reckless elite of its own status unrelated to any policy or philosophical goal. And playing a supporting role were lousy judgment and a colossal failure by many pundits to do the job of pundits and appreciate what s interesting about the times they are living in.
