WaPo Columnist Says Conservatism Needs Moderate Anti-Trump Alternatives. WaPo Would Reject Just Those People.

On Monday, The Washington Post ran an op-ed from actual Never Trumper Max Boot – a former conservative who has graduated to stumping for Democrats thanks to his antipathy for President Trump. That op-ed, written in the wake of the death of the conservative and anti-Trump Weekly Standard, posited that “Conservatism needs a new Weekly Standard untainted by Trump.”

Boot argued, “I devoutly hope a new Standard will arise to lead the Republican Party out of the moral and political oblivion to which the president is consigning it.”
