Does nobody want Paul Ryan’s vote? The former House speaker has declared that he can’t vote for Vice President Kamala Harris because of her policies, and he can’t vote for former President Donald Trump because of his character. “I’m gonna write in a Republican this time,” he said.

The handsome Wisconsinite has only one vote, obviously. But other people share his dilemma. I am not talking here of those Republicans who are so revolted by their former party’s abasement before a convicted felon that they have gone full Dem. No, I mean those mainstream conservatives who will enthusiastically back downballot Republicans but who regard Trump’s refusal to concede when he loses elections as a threat to the republic.
