UPDATE: To state the obvious, it's not just Frum who appalled at the thought of having the share the Democrat's Big Tent with progressives.
Seems like all of these neocon, Bush-regime relics who somehow all have large media platforms are all pouty and mad that their takeover of the guidance systems of the Democratic party have been spoiled by [checks notes] New Deal Democrats.
For example, Charlie Sykes, who, since 2016, has never failed to use his unmerited media attention to take the opportunity to also shiv Democrats every time he bitches about Trump.

I know a bit about religion and Christianity. Never heard of a higher Purpose Bride.
But I saw the movie, "The Jerk" and he found his higher purpose in that movie. Does Natale know that the same commandment that speaks to Not coveting another woman's wife is the same that a woman shall not covet another woman;' husband. Not sure if Melania is up on all this.
Meanwhile, America's Sec. of WAR finally figures out he should have planned his war and rotated out navy battle groups.
