I’m sure he is a nice man, but this is very long and not so relevant. He’s right in his last paragraph when he recommends “common sense conservatism,” but he spends too much time objecting to what he sees as the stridency of Trump-era conservatism and preferring something more mellow. I think he’s deluding himself in thinking that politics can be anything but strident now, as well as in thinking that Buckley-Goldwater conservatism wasn’t seen as strident and militant in its era.
Nash is one of the brightest conservative minds writing today.
