Anthony Lewis, the former New York Times columnist, used to say in his moments of Bolshie pique over this or that that thwarted liberal scheme that America needs a “new people.” A similar cry can be heard from neocon tastemakers in the wake of Trump’s defeat of sixteen opponents.
David Brooks is so worried about the ignorance of the unwashed masses that he has decided to go out into their “pain” and teach them a “new national story.” The Wall Street Journal’s Bret Stephens is rooting for a resounding Trump defeat so that the people will never embrace a figure like him again.

It’s important that Donald Trump, or what he represents, this kind of quote ‘ethnic conservatism or populism,’ be so decisively rebuked that the Republican Party and the Republican voters will forever learn their lesson that they cannot nominate a man so manifestly unqualified to be president in any way, shape or form.”
