This:

I’m a conservative NeverTrumper. I would absolutely prefer a more moderate VP pick, but I also know that I belong to a microscopic constituency.

So I’ll just have to content myself with, “not being a felon and a sex abuser,” “not attempting a coup,” and “not sacrificing Ukraine to an authoritarian maniac” as the main wins for voting for Harris.

100 years from now, people will talk about the Ukraine war as pivotal. I’m not sure that any other issue is going to reach that conflict in importance.

There’s also the huge bonus of prying the conservative movement away from a deranged man who will sacrifice any person or any principle for the sake of power.

If conservatism is going to have a viable future, then Trump has to lose. He is draining the entire right of any meaningful ideology or ethos.

Trump’s hold over the once-viable Republican party must be broken because – yet again – the country can handle four years of bad policy, but it cannot survive a president who torches the Constitution.
