Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney — was rooted in the values of freedom, sacrifice, individual responsibility and the common good. The party’s conception of those values was reflected in its longstanding conservative policy agenda, and today many Republicans set aside their concerns about Mr. Trump because of his positions on immigration, trade and taxes. But the stakes of this election are not fundamentally about policy disagreements. The stakes are more foundational: what qualities matter most in America’s president and commander in chief.

I believe this is what they refer to as ‘circling the wagons’... Joe isn’t going anywhere.
A full throated ‘Trump is the devil’ campaign is their only hope.

The NYT will never ever be able to replace the Babylon Bee as a parody site.
When the Times endorses a Republican over a Democrat for president then they will have some credibility to express themselves. As it stands they are fully a Democrat apparatus and should be ignored.
Not the B????
