Remember that Mr Brooks strongly endorsed Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, and she has proven a vigorous identity politician. Establishment conservatives destroyed traditional conservatism long before Mr. Trump came along.
I’ve just watched populism destroy traditional conservatism in the G.O.P. I’m here to tell you that Bernie Sanders is not a liberal Democrat. He’s what replaces liberal Democrats.

Establishment conservatives are not traditional conservatives. Among other things, Establishment conservatives made peace with social liberalism (even if they opposed it in principle, they preferred to fight economic battles, not cultural battles).

Well said. The establishment destroyed conservatism so thoroughly that it took a New York liberal to revive it.
