Are Never Trumpers Still Republicans?

Matt Bai: “A year into Trump’s presidency, Republican activists in the rest of the country seem to have rallied around his politics of grievance, while in Washington, conservative thinkers who once ran the country huddle together in exile. Now it’s Kristol and his contemporaries who find themselves on the frontier side of the border.”

“I asked Kristol if he could still call himself a Republican, and whether he would if Trump was reelected in 2020.”

“The answer to the first question, he said, was yes. The answer to the second was no.”
