Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me? My conservative friends are fighting amongst themselves. Granted, it’s been four years of arguing, mostly on a low boil but with occasional pops and flashes of intense heat. The best you can do as an anti-Trump Republican is make your case and hope you have a few friends left post-election.

As both parties have yet again refrained from nominating a presidential candidate I can support in good conscience, I plan to write one in. Since neither major candidate passes my threshold tests of political morality, the question of which is preferable is practically irrelevant. But it appears that refusal to vote for Trump is simply not enough for many of my fellow Never Trumpers: I’m now expected to demonstrate my seriousness by voting a straight Democratic ticket this fall.
