As it became increasingly apparent that Donald Trump might actually
become the Republican party's 2016 presidential nominee, alarmed
conservatives coalesced behind a simple, uncompromising slogan:
Never Trump. Although the movement initially included a large
number of Republican office-holders, its white-hot core was always
comprised of the policy experts, public intellectuals, and campaign
professionals who play a critical role in the modern political
party system. They saw in Trump a repudiation of longstanding
conservative doctrine and, in his unprincipled appeals to voters,
the kind of demagogue the founders famously warned about. Never
Trumpers took their shot at denying Trump the presidency-everything
from flailing attempts to coalesce around other Republican
candidates and collective letters of opposition, to a desperate
third party challenge and even supporting their longtime nemesis
Hillary Clinton. But in their attempt to kill the king, they
missed. Now on the margins of a party that has enthusiastically
united around the president, Never Trumpers have been reduced to
the status of a remnant, shut out from government and hoping for a
day when their party awakens from its Trumpist spell. Based on
extensive interviews with conservative opponents of the president,
Robert P. Saldin and Steven M. Teles reveal why such a wide range
of committed partisans chose to break with their longtime comrades
in arms. Never Trump provides a window into the motivations of
these conservative professionals and a guide to the long-term
consequences that their unprecedented revolt holds for the
Republican and Democratic parties, conservatism, and American
democracy.
