Will the Neoconservatives Abandon the GOP?
Dan Drezner considers the possibility that some Republican policy elites could start moving to the Democrats, but remains skeptical:
The thing is, that polarization has been going on for four decades now. Elites within the major political parties of 2016 are more ideologically distant than they were in, say, 1971. Indeed, this election cycle has exacerbated that polarization at the presidential level. So disaffected GOP intellectuals would have to travel a much longer ideological space to feel comfortable as Democrats.
