For many conservatives, they support Mr. Trump because he’s their de facto leader in a cultural war. One friend who twice voted for Barack Obama now sees World War III on the horizon and deeply regrets his vote for Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump, after all, was runner-up to Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucuses. I see only one thing that might give my conservative friends pause about turning against Mr. Trump — Fox News. After all, whom would they rather work with, Mr. Trump or Mr. Pence?
