National Review: It’s Not Too Late To Dump Trump

From the editorial board of the National Review:

Trump feels inevitable, but nothing is settled until Republicans actually caucus and vote. They would be well advised to opt for one of the alternatives who are far and away better on the merits, more likely to win in November, and, if elected, more likely to deliver — free from the wild drama of a second Trump term — conservative results.

These were infamous presidential acts and represented serious offenses against our constitutional order. Nothing can justify them, and it’s wrong to simply pretend that they didn’t happen.

It’s impossible to imagine Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley, whatever their other flaws, engaging in such grotesquely selfish behavior injurious to our republic. On this basis alone, both are vastly preferable to Trump. It’s not too late to choose one of them, and forge a better path for the party and for the country.

The National Review was founded in 1955 by right winger William F. Buckley and its past contributors are a clown car cavalcade of crackpots such as Brent Bozell, Dinesh D’Souza, Pat Buchanan, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Ted Cruz, Ann Coulter, and Peter Brimelow.
