From the latest episode of the Ron Paul Institute’s Five Minutes Five Issues:

In last week’s Five Minutes Five Issues, I talked of Washington Post Columnist Jennifer Rubin’s call for conservatives to abandon the Republican Party and support “a new center-right party” should Donald Trump win the GOP nomination. On Monday, the Washington Post editorial board endorsed another unusual tactic to prevent a Trump presidency. The editorial board urged that Republican National Convention rules be used “to maximum effect” to “nominate a conservative candidate who respects the Constitution, or to defeat Mr. Trump in some other way.”

That’s funny, I don’t recall the Post editorial board endorsing Ron Paul in any of his presidential runs, or arguing in 2008 or 2012 that the Republican National Convention rules should be used “to maximum effect” to give Paul the GOP nomination. They want a nominee who respects the Constitution, right?

Like Rubin, it seems the Washington Post editorial board is not fully fessing up about why it opposes Trump.
