Has the conservative Catholic project exhausted itself?
Conservatism needs something to react to. First Things was the Catholic part of the right-wing obsession with all things Clinton (in defense of all things Nixon).. There really was a vast right-wing conspiracy after all. Hillary has retired to be a grandmother and opposition to her has given us Donald Trump. Sanders is about to fade into the sunset (and Warren will follow her. Support for Trump is its own derangement system and that ship is sinking.Going after Joe Biden would be weak tea indeed. Supporting Trump against a fellow Catholic is too bizarre, even for them, and defending Dick Nixon is the modern lost cause. Until someone from the Left born after 1960 emerges, their work is done.
Who still weeps for Tricky Dick?
