Summary

When will conservatives stop dying on the sword of a party that sullies our brand by laying claim to it but ultimately does the exact opposite? In this episode of the Conservative Conscience, we digest the true long-term meaning of the GOP defeat in Virginia. This is a long-term problem whereby conservatives are going to incur all of the liabilities of both the GOP and Trump’s persona but none of the benefits of Trump’s intuition. We go through a number of quiet examples of how this administration is lurching far to the left and so many Trump appointees are antithetical to his stated agenda. Until we start a new problem, this dynamic will never end.
