CONSERVATIVES MELT DOWN.

++David Frum pens a must-read article in The Atlantic "The Seven Broken Guardrails of Democracy" where he eviscerates Trump and his supporters and ponders how the conservative movement can ever be rebuilt. Frum expresses astonishment over how everyone from fiscal conservatives to the religious right just folded like kleenex.  Frum pointed out that Trump's biggest foreign policy speech was given with the Russian ambassador in the audience but no representative from a single American ally.

++Fred Malek, perpetual Republican operative, writes in the Washington Post on why TRUMP must stop attacking fellow Republicans.

++Michael Gerson won't give up in his fourth straight anti-Trump article "The Most Depressing Moment of the 2016 Race."  He was talking about "the Future of the GOP" Marco Rubio bowing down to endorse Trump.

++ Charles Pierce had some good fun with Mark Halperin pretending to have an exclusive of Bill Kristol's surprise conservative choice. It turns out Kristol may have persuaded David French, a staff writer for the National Review and an Iraqi war veteran, to run against Trump.

++Eugene Robinson could not resist mocking Trump's Rolling Thunder Review performance and the series of lies he told,including the one about thousands couldn't get in. As I reported there were no one else there. It was a sad sack affair with 5,000.

++You may have missed  David Brooks' column on why #Never,Ever Trump".
