I learned that I don't need to agree 100% with an author's premises to find value in what she writes.

She is a bit partisan, but on the other side, it is about time for us on the right to completely re-evaluate MAGA, and go about creating a third way, distinct from the old mainstream republicanism of the McCains and Bushes, but also critical of what MAGA turned out to be.

I'd settle for a return to McCain.

what would consider to be the essential characteristics of a third way?
