How awful that NR has gone GOPe.
Bill Buckley must be spinning in his grave.
Bill Buckley wrote we must elect the “most conservative,” and one who “can win.” In terms of the national electorate, Trump is neither. His ideas are typical shoot-from-the-hip type and they turn out to be of no practical consequence.
The Editorial methodically dissects his ideas that border on the loony. The National Review is still the leading intellectual journal of the conservative movement. Simply dismissing its arguments is neither helpful to Trump, his supporters or to the American electorate.
Ted Cruz on the other hand is a real heavyweight and a first-class intellectual who adds gravitas to his ideas and political will.
How awful some have gone pro amnesty.
