The senator from Georgia seems to think that further dividing conservatives away from Trumpism is a bad thing. In fact, the opposite is true.

If this “further division” causes some to look distastefully at Trumpism, then I applaud it. If this “further division” spurs (actual) conservatives to stand against poisonous rhetoric that is too easily dismissed, then it should be praised.

There is nothing admirable about uniting behind a leader, placing a blindfold on, and marching in lockstep because of a romanticized duty to party. It removes all thought and common sense from the process and asks that we disregard substance in favor of the superficial. Then again, that’s what many Republican voters did on November 8, 2016.

As I’ve done in the past two years, I’ll praise the good and condemn the bad that emanates from both the man and his administration.
