Trump’s Vision Transcends the Party

The greatest leaders of free societies transcended partisanship.

Not because they were absent of principle. To the contrary, they were driven by deep conviction in what they did, and they did so in relation to and in coordination with others. Rather, they were aware of the fundamental challenge of living in a polis — how to take a principled stand (whose rightness is not dependent on popular opinion, but because of the truth of the stand itself) united with others (without corrupting or compromising that stand).
