In the editorial, Frum claimed that his party's failure to reach a deal "led us to abject and irreversible defeat."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.frumforum.com/waterloo | title=Waterloo | last=Frum | first=David | date=March 21, 2010 | website=FrumForum | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100325040735/http://www.frumforum.com/waterloo | archive-date=March 25, 2010 | access-date=October 18, 2018 }}</ref>

After his termination, Frum clarified that his article had been "welcomed and celebrated" by AEI President Arthur Brooks, and that he had been asked to leave because "these are hard times." Brooks had offered Frum the opportunity to write for AEI on a nonsalaried basis, but Frum declined.<ref name=cbsnewsfrum/> The following day, journalist [[Michael Allen (journalist)|Mike Allen]] published a conversation with Frum, in which Frum expressed a belief that his termination was the result of pressure from donors. According to Frum, "AEI represents the best of the conservative world{{nbsp}}... But the elite isn't leading anymore{{nbsp}}... I think Arthur [Brooks] took no pleasure in this. I think he was embarrassed."<ref name="politico">{{cite web|url=http://www.politico.com/playbook/0310/playbook998.html|title=Frum thinks critique of GOP led to boot -- 2 big bipartisan bashes -- Chris Matthews, cornered -- HHS Secretary is vastly more powerful -- Jackie Calmes to White House beat -- Kimberly Dozier to AP|website= Politico |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100329133104/http://www.politico.com/playbook/0310/playbook998.html | last = Allen    |   first = Mike |date =  March 26, 2010 | archive-date = March 29, 2010 | issn = 2381-1595  | oclc = 864712228  |access-date=April 5, 2018}}</ref>
