“Most dissidents from Trumpism take a familiar line: They didn’t leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party left them. But for Stevens, Trump forced a more fundamental rethinking: The problem, he believes, is not that the GOP became something it wasn’t; it’s that many of those within it — including him — failed to see what it actually was.”

1. Maybe both are true? I'll take all the allies we can get

at this point, but Stevens (as he stated on MSNBC last night) still thinks Paul Ryan would have been a great VP. Paul Krugman has done an excellent job showing what a fraud Ryan was/is. So anyone who still thinks what Stevens does undermines confidence in his or her values and/or insight.
