Donald trump is the least unpopular thing about today's republican party. i mean, the idea that a mitch mcconnell or a paul ryan could say, "let's toss trump overboard and return to our program of plutocratic politics, health care removal, massive income tax cuts for the affluent, deregulation of finance" - if they cut loose from donald trump, it's like, you know, storm in channel, continent cut off. if they cut loose from him, they are much likelier to sink.

More From David Frum

I'll bet you there are a lot of donald trump people out there who say, "if he has to work with democrats to get what he wants done, then so be it. even when trump did the first deal with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi on expanding the debt limit - and he talked about extending the debt limit forever 'cause it was such a good thing, trump did." i had people saying, "you know what? i love it!" i'm talking about rock-ribbed, lifetime republicans who said to me, "i love trump sticking it to mitch mcconnell and paul ryan, but i not sure i like it being done this way."
People Forever Done
The republicans didn't get rolled by anybody. chuck schumer didn't outsmart mitch mcconnell, and nancy pelosi sure as hell did not outsmart paul ryan. i don't care what you think of ryan, he's not an idiot, folks. these people are not dumb. they're not sitting up there thinking, "all we gotta do is be nice to the democrats and the media."
Nice Thinking People
You don't have to go that far back - march 2017 - and donald trump was already getting frustrated with the fact that mitch mcconnell and paul ryan were stonewalling him.
Frustrated March
Here you have the republican party, and they had, what, 16, 15 candidates seek the republican nomination? and donald trump won it. and they have been enraged actually since day one when trump announced, and his statement did not result in a trump implosion, and then future trump statements and appearances did not result in a trump implosion. but the candidates that the republican party...they thought they had the best presidential field ever, and they hated and resented trump for that.
Party Presidential Nominations
Donald trump has pulled something off that i have never seen pulled off. and it is, i think, at the root of the frustration that republican consultants and the republican establishment and anybody else in the republican party has that is anti-trump, and that is: donald trump owns the media.
Party Thinking Frustration
Paul ryan, he is the real evil genius of the republican party. he with his little hateful widow's peak and his smirky, snarly, simpering non-entity self, that's who i detest. trump's just a moron, but ryan is ugly and evil.

If you're at the oscars, there's not a man on that red carpet who is not wearing make-up. most straight actors i know get quite used to it. even when they go out in real life they grab some sort of bronzer and they throw it on. they dye their eyebrows, they dye their lashes - they know the tricks.
Real Men Eyebrows
Today it is considered as exaggeration to proclaim constant respect for every form of life as being the serious demand of a rational ethic. but the time is coming when people will be amazed that the human race existed so long before it recognized that thoughtless injury to life is incompatible with real ethics. ethics is in its unqualified form extended responsibility to everything that has life.
Respect Real Responsibility
Global warming is real. it is happening today. it is being charted by our satellites. it is being charted by our scientists. it is being charted by those of us in this body, and i think the real key is if we are ready to admit that fact and take the action to make the necessary conversion.
Real Thinking Keys
I'm only 13, so i can't say "life experiences." so, basically, i had to... act! i had to make up character that is very old. i guess that's why they call it acting - you do draw from some stuff in your life, i guess, but it's not real life. you have to fake it.
