am glad many former Republican operatives are now supporting Biden and working against the current iteration of the GOP. I know they will eventually revert to type, but for now they are useful, especially since they know GOP weak points and are willing to be fiercer (and sometimes even rather dirty) in their attacks than Democrats, who have more scruples about such things.

In fact, though I am on the fairly extreme side of liberal, I nevertheless usually hit several Never-Trump conservatives' Twitter feeds as my first stops of the day: Conway, Nichols, Wilson, and Frum, and sometimes I read Wehner, Wittes, Boot, Carpenter, Navarro, Kristol, and Sykes.

I also visit The Bulwark from time to time.

Corporate media are generally not allowed to ask those kind of questions, especially as a lead.
