The Resistance Is the Best Thing That’s Happened to Trump

David Harsanyi at NRO  . . . "The average Resistance fighters might dislike Trump. But they hate conservatism. By treating even the most milquetoast, run-of-the-mill Cabinet nominee as the worst thing that has ever happened to America, the Resistance gives conservatives the space to defend such long-standing political positions as school choice, immigration enforcement, and deregulation. I imagine many Republicans would happily hand over the scalp of more Michael Flynns if it meant creating a more stable and experienced administration. But they also understand that people who treat DeVos like a bigger threat to the republic than Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon will never be placated. Those who spent weeks after the election acting as if the Electoral College were some kind of trick pulled on the country are not interested in rule of law. They’re interested in Democrats" . . .
