Emily Hull's US presidential election blog for US Studies Online

'“The man is categorically unfit to be president,” declares Bardon from Kentucky. Todd from Oregon agrees, arguing that “Trump’s daily tweet storms and fragile ego show he is dangerously incompetent.” Meanwhile, Dianne in Utah is concerned that “Trump cares about his image more than he cares about saving lives.” You would be forgiven for thinking that these comments came from disgruntled Democrats fed up with the Presidency of Donald J. Trump, but they are actually quotes featured on the website Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT) a major group in the growing Never Trump movement'.

So writes Emily Hull in the opening paragraph of her latest contribution to the US Studies Online blog in the run to the next US presidential election. Read her piece in full here.

Emily’s PhD thesis uses the life of Irving Kristol, the ex-Trotskyist turned “godfather of neoconservatism” to explore transformations in American intellectual and political life during the twentieth century. She is working under the supervision of Dr Nick Witham and Dr Nadia Hilliard.
