Bennett made two remarks that are worth focusing upon. First, when asked whether he is "ok" with a Trump candidacy, Bennett replied that he's "not OK at all" with it. Given "the totality of his acts and his record and the things he has stood for," Bennett said, it's clear that Trump's "not very principled in terms of his convictions [.]" Trump has "a record" that's "longer than your arm" of being "wrong on all of these things [.]"

Trump, that is, is not a real conservative.

This is Bennett's first point. He then went on to say that "Reagan would be thrown out by this caucus [the Freedom caucus that's resisting Paul Ryan's move to become House Speaker]."

Bennett, Hannity, and many other self-avowed media and Washington "conservatives" may be unaware of this, but Bennett's invocation of Reagan as the emblem of conservatism actually reinforces Trump's candidacy.
