Peter Wehner was one of the first conservatives to bravely and intelligently oppose Trump. In the article linked to below he calls Trump the "repudiation" of Lincoln. In a sense Trump is the anti-Lincoln. Lincoln has come to represent everything good in American history, Trump represents everything bad.
Wehner talks about the terrible things
liberals say about Republicans and how he always defended the GOP and
"Then along came Donald J. Trump, who seemed to embody every
awful charge made against the Republican Party."
[Take a look at my book "Top 25 Reasons to Dump Trump." If you find it useful in persuading other people to reject Trump please leave a review.

Wehner realizes that that there are
"repulsive elements" in the Republican Party and those
elements grew too strong and are now running free to wreak their
damage on America and make millions of good Republicans look bad.
He says, "But it is fair to say
that there existed in the Republican Party repulsive elements, people
who were attracted to racial and ethnic politics and moved by
resentment and intolerance rather than a vision of the good. This
group was larger than I ever imagined, and at important moments the
Republican Party either overlooked them or played to them. Some may
have been hoping to appeal to these elements while also containing
and moderating them, to sand off the rough edges, to keep them within
the coalition but not allow them to become dominant. But the opposite
happened. The party guests took over the party."
My dream is to have a good Republican
party and a good Democratic party, both led by moderate and rational
human beings who put the good of the country and the good of its
citizens in the forefront and argue only about the details of policy,
not about whether or not we should remain the COUNTRY of Lincoln.
The first step to making this happen is
to DUMP TRUMP!
