"Trump is waging an open attack on the party’s core views: a commitment to limited government & economic liberty to enable prosperity; moral traditionalism that conserves our capacity for liberty by producing responsible citizens; a belief that America, confidently & carefully engaged in international affairs, can be a force for good in the world. He wants America toretreat from world affairs because we are too weak. Rather than reach out to allies, he wants to bludgeon them; he also wants Americans to think about global affairs in terms of financial transactions that net America money rather than relationships that promote security, freedom and order." "The stain of Trump will last long after his campaign. His insults, cruelty and bigotry will sear themselves into the memory of Americans for a long time to come, especially those who are the targets of his invective."
