Kimberly Ross: 'I HAVE NO INTEREST IN PARTY UNITY'


'Unity' is a dirty word, especially this election cycle. The word reminds me of groupthink, that which liberals love. It doesn’t ask those in the electorate to consider their vote carefully beyond party loyalty.

As has been clear for a while, the GOP front-runner is not a conservative. The damage from a Trump presidency would be long-lasting in ways much different than a Hillary presidency. While I believe both would introduce policies which would be disastrous, the Trump effect would chip away at conservatism as a whole. 

Hillary vocally stands in opposition to conservatism because she is a liberal. Trump knowingly stands in opposition to conservatism while pretending to wave a banner of allegiance to it. 

We can counteract a Hillary effect with its strong opposite. We cannot counteract Trump with a crumbling foundation...
