What courage! Whatever comes after Trumpism, it won't be the same conservatism as the 1980s or even the 2000s. Someone needs to figure out where conservatism goes from here and hold those responsible for the rise of Trump to account: Welcome to the Bulwark Podcast.

Special Guests: Bill Kristol and Jonathan V. Last.
