Meghan Cox Gurdon: Must conservatives change or die?

In this election cycle, we’ve long since gone past the point of preposterousness in the use of the word “change.” The people have gone mad for it. The political classes are obsessed with it. The presidential candidates bleat constantly about being the agent of it.
