The Democratic National Convention Was a Disaster for Republicans

We now have Democrats waving the Constitution at Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, and pointing out the principles of freedom in it and equality before the law.

We now have Democrats defending the American Dream and blasting the GOP nominee for not understanding it.

We now have Democrats respecting and defending the military, while the GOP’s leader routinely insults them.

We now have Democrats explaining to the Republican nominee what true patriotism is all about.

This is a disaster for conservatism. Oh my. American conservatism will be set back decades, literally, because of Trump… and there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do about it.
