Sexual harassment and/or assault? OK

Clandestine communications with Russian espionage? OK

Trying to do something about either? Bad

2. I don't always agree with David Frum, but I do respect him, he says it like it is, no BS.

[PsychoBabble]

3. These feel like the kind of Repubs ...

I grew up around ... disagreed with them sometimes, but they were not idiots, and tried to do good things at least part of the time.

Now?

Frum is a rare bird; stands out like a sore thumb.

[Demoiselle]

11. Me,too. Very bright man.

4. Can you imagine what William F. Buckley, Jr. would have to say about Trump?

And it turns out he had him pegged fairly accurately in 2000.

6. VERY interesting. nt

[BSdetect]

5. Frum was on Bill Maher but really struggled to say he would vote for Clinton

That it takes so much to move an "educated intellectual" from their beliefs, imagine trying to convince a real deplorable.

8. I recognize him as being an American.

Can't believe how traitorous that party has become.

[Hekate]

9. I really admire Frum these days, and appreciate his speaking out. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[JI7]

14. not really, the monster of a party is controlled by racists which existed before Frum

[Dopers_Greed]

13. If only more Repugs were like Frum

We might not be in the mess we are

Here:

"he got himself fired from AEI, in all likelihood for writing a blog post arguing that, in their stubborn refusal to negotiate, Republicans missed a chance to pull the Obama administration's healthcare legislation in a more market-friendly direction.

"The ‘Waterloo' threatened by GOP Sen. Jim DeMint last year regarding Obama and health care has finally arrived all right,"Frum wrote at the end of the post, which ran on March 22, 2010. "Only it turns out to be our own."Over the next week, the right turned against him for good: he was attacked in an editorial run by his old employer, the Wall Street Journal, and AEI fired him."
