Indeed, in the debate Monday night, Clinton framed her discussion of \u201cimplicit bias\u201d as a malady we all suffer from, telling Lester Holt:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police. I think, unfortunately, too many of us in our great country jump to conclusions about each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, yes, too many people do jump to conclusions. So, what\u2019s the solution, Hillary? When it comes to policing, since it can have literally fatal consequences, I have said, in my first budget, we would put money into that budget to help us deal with implicit bias by retraining a lot of our police officers. Wait. What? If we\u2019re all biased, who\u2019s training whom? Let\u2019s be very clear: When it moves from abstract to concrete, all this talk about \u201cimplicit bias\u201d gets very sinister, very quickly. It allows radicals to indict entire communities as bigoted, it relieves them of the obligation of actually proving their case, and it allows them to use virtually any negative event as a pretext for enforcing their ideological agenda.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What bothers me about David French is that, while he writes outstanding columns in support of the conservative cause, he is, last time I checked, a NeverTrumper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Would it be fair to label him a yap-and-scribble milquetoast 'conservative'?  He talks and talks, writes and writes, but refuses to support the one man who has any chance of impeding Hillary and the Left's destructive 'long march' (Mao) through the institutions of our society.  That is so strange and so absurd that one may be justified in a bit of psychologizing.  Perhaps the explanation of his behavior and that of others in his elite club is revealed in this column<\/a> by F. H. Buckley:<\/span><\/p>\n

I gave a talk to a conservative group not so long ago, when the NeverTrumper still lived in his fantasy wor[l]d. They believed that the voters and delegates would finally come to their senses and nominate the amiable Ted Cruz, or that somehow they\u2019d jigger the Convention rules, or that the absurd Great White Hope, David French, would do the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was four months ago, and I gave my usual anti-Pollyanna talk of gloom and doom. When I finished people lined up to ask questions, and one of them was a senior executive at a prominent DC think tank. \u201cIt\u2019s true we\u2019re going to Hell in a hand-basket,\u201d he said, \u201cbut this time we\u2019ve got a lot of great think tanks on our side.\u201d Right you are, I thought. Bad as it might be, you can say \u201cI\u2019ve got mine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought of that when I talked to a friend yesterday. He spoke of dinner parties ruined when NeverTrumpers start abusing Trump supporters. Then he told me of one dinner party at which two of the most prominent NeverTrumpers confessed why they want Hillary to win. They know they\u2019ll have no access to the Trump White House if he wins. Nor would they have any access to a Hillary White House. The difference, however, is that their donor base would desert them in the event of a Trump victory, whereas they can raise money from donors in the event of a Hillary win.<\/span><\/p>\n

We had figured this out. We\u2019re just surprised to hear them admit it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
