The conservative movement that Bill Buckley championed with grace, wit and stoicism has been warped into something more extreme, divisive and potentially less successful under President Trump, according to Richard Brookhiser of National Review. Buckley would routinely engage those who opposed him in constructive dialogue. In his rise to power, Trump ravaged the G.O.P, diminishing Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio among others. He has created a personality cult around himself, not the party, surrounding himself with weak personalities to make himself seem stronger. When his chapter ends, the G.O.P will suffer because of this.
