Mr .Gerson has said a lot of words bemoaning the fact that Trump isn't a conservative and telling us what a conservative isn't.  

What he has failed to define is what those 'conservative ideals' are that are apparently being ignored by those who hold them and why voters should support them.  

"Conservative" is like "Socialist"; meanings vary from person to person.  

Social conservatism is different than fiscal conservatism, for example.  Which brand of 'conservatism' did Gerson espouse when he worked for George W?   Why did the voters throw Brother Jeb Bush under the bus?  

Is this just nostalgia for a Federal job for Gerson?
