is not my favourite Republican writer.
But, setting aside the mischaracterisation of Burke (who had nothing like the beliefs of modern American ideological conservatives), here's an interesting quote:
"If time runs out, and Trump prevails in the Republican contest, many of us will rally behind an independent Republican candidate to save the honor of the party, and to offer a decent alternative to the American people. Edmund Burke, the founder both of party government and of modern conservatism, wrote, "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.""
