What difference does it make?

Bad ideas work their way back to worse premises. The 'worse premise' of the bad idea of NeverTrump was that it didn't really matter if Hillary won. It was an echo of Hillary's infamous Benghazi testimony.

What difference does it make anyway if the woman behind the Arab Spring were running our foreign policy and if the Clinton Foundation's gallery of rogue donors were running everything else?

It sure as hell didn't make a difference to NeverTrumpers who were too busy grading Trump on table manners and finding implausible reasons to believe that President Hillary Clinton wouldn't be so bad. NeverNeverTrumpland became its own echo chamber with no one to call out its crazy delusions.

Trump won, Hillary lost and NeverTrumpers clings to its "What difference does it make" premise.

At the New York Post, John Podhoretz insists that, "Hillary's White House would be no different from Trump's."

Bad idea meet worse premise.

"The astonishing answer, if you really think it through, is: not all that different when it comes to policy," he claims.

Only in NeverNeverTrumpland could anyone come up with an "astonishing answer" like that. ...
