I am not endorsing either Will or Krauthammer as perfect conservatives, I am criticizing the tendency on these boards to exalt those with whom they agree today as oracles and to attack those with whom they disagree today as villains.

I am also criticizing the tendency on these boards to denigrate anything that smacks of criticism of Donald Trump. Consider as an example what is right before our eyes now, I am accused of living in the GOPe World when it is Donald Trump who has endorsed Democrats, financed Democrats, voted for Democrats, who has supported abortion, supported single-payer medical care, who has advocated higher income taxes at least twice.

So the inevitable happens, the tactic is turned on fellow conservatives on these boards. No one who dares criticize the Donald is safe from this mindless cannibalism.

Neither Will nor Krauthammer is a god whose utterances may not be questioned by lesser mortals.

Your judging him guilty of what was good business for a businessman rules out the successful and makes righteous only the purely politic, GOPe your savior by default.

So the inevitable happens, the tactic is turned on fellow conservatives on these boards. No one who dares criticize the Donald is safe from this mindless cannibalism.

People voting their own conscience without your amending oversight is not chopping off your leg and eating it.

What once promised to be a productive electoral process has somehow been consumed by a cult of personality. It's an infatuation!

The conservative wing of the party is careening out of control. I'm beginning to fear how this might end.
