David Frum - QOTD for Friday, January 19, 2018

David Frum was a speechwriter in the George W. Bush administration. He was notoriously fired from the American Enterprise Institute after criticizing Republican tactics in opposition to Obamacare. He was, unsurprisingly, a "Never Trumper." He has, surprisingly, remained so.

Today, I read the following quote from his latest book, Trumpocracy:

If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy. 

That is a scary thought, folks. I hope he's wrong.
