For me, the main thing I am taking from the column is Charlie's conclusion:
So, should anti-Trump forces sit down, shut up, and vote Trump? Only if they want to contribute to the continued dilution of conservatism into a meaningless word that can act as a mask for leftist policy.
How funny!
The so-called conservatives in the GOP have done nothing to stop the advance of leftist policies in DC for the last 25 years.
That is the mask that has dropped.
I smell ozone in your future

Dear Charlie Sykes. You did your best in Wisconsin along with the GOPe, Democrats, national media, Paul Ryan, and fellow GOPe conservative talk and media sell outs. The group did manage to put Cruz over the top but not by enough to keep Teump from winning some delegates. You and the others threw everything at him, he survived and is now stronger than ever. Between the events in Wisconsin, the delegate theft in Colorado, the other delegate antics, and exposure of Levin and Limbaugh as total sell outs the people are now on the downhill to taking back the leadership of the party through Donald Teump.
Cruz was once one of my favorite candidates but the actions of his campaign and him personally has pushed me far away from him as a candidate, I still do not know why he went off the deep end personally but it has finished off his career as a national candidate.
The actions of the #NeverTrump movement has damaged the GOP at the local and state level worse than they imagine, Many have worked to get majorities in local and Stare races and to provide majorities in the House and Senate only to see the GOP leadership turn their backs on those who have worked so hard. They will never have that support this fall unless Trump is the nominee.
I will vote against Hillary no matter what and I would vote to keep the house and Senate as Republican as possible. However, I am an active worker. Many of those who are coming out for Trump have not been active ever in politics or in the case of older voters have not been active since Reagan.
Each is entitled to his or her vote and opinion. I respect that. But, there comes a time when fighting the good fight is no longer worth it unless to protect the direct life of family. In my opinion we are at the point where all of us who oppose Hillary should work to ensure Trump is our nominee and that he defeats Hillary.
