What are the chances NR will publish a mea culpa issue entitled “For Trump,” as an attempt at saving itself?

None, I suppose.

Maybe some of the writers who have admitted they are wrong should start a new magazine entitled National Renew and write feature articles for the inaugural issue about how they were wrong about Trump and how is renewing America and conservatism.

Each morning, these losers and haters of the Trump Voters, us,face another day of being as welcome as someone with the new virus.

Only the dishonest mediots give a Rat’s behind about any of them. Even that is pretend.

Then, when they go to bed as lonely losers in life, the Trump curse begins to go into overdrive to make any sleep fitful and worthless.

So losers, keep enjoying your Trump Curse! We don’t miss your pompous lying spewing at all.

It’s not fair to try to compare Trump to Reagan. Reagan’s overarching mission was to weaken and destroy the Soviet Union. Everything else was secondary to him, and he was willing to compromise to maintain that focus. Even so, he accomplished additional great things. As with all who followed him, Trump is the beneficiary of Reagan’s greatness, and governs in a world far different than that Reagan inherited. Both are great Presidents, for whom we should be very grateful.

Hardly. What Reagan did was 35 years before Trump. The Russian were in the Middle East helping to UN stabilize it and took over Crimea when Trump took over. Reagan compromised on illegals and gave them amnesty. Trump deported and built a wall. Reaganlet Ted Kennedy run amok on medical care setting up for Obamas disaster. Trump is getting rid of the regulations to bring the costs down. Reagan also had Dems that would vote for him as well as Repulicans that supported to him. Everything Trump has accomplished has had 100% pushback from Democraps and he has had to even fight his own party, resulting in us loosing the house, but he still goes on. If Reagan has even 1/10th of the negative press and the investigations, he would have been dead of a heart attack before his first term. Trump is all balls....and they clank. And yes I rank him far above Reagan. Perhaps in the top 5 of greatest Presidents of all time.

I can tell you from personal experience the anti-conservative bent at National Review goes all the way back to 1997 when Rich Lowry became editor, chosen by William F. Buckley himself.

Lowry was a squish from day one. His “Against Trump” issue did not spring forth from a vacuum. It came from an intellectually flawed mind and a cowardly and morally weak character.

Jonah only got the gig because of his late Mama’s creds. To me, he’s a lightweight stuffed shirt.

My first assumption was that they were bought out by leftists or the owner got scared by bad economic numbers and figured turning left would make him money again. But I don’t know. I have a hard time with turncoats. Mark Levin and Rush endorsed Cruz and tried to get Hillary elected when Cruz lost the nomination to Trump, that really pissed me off. I’m hoping they both learned something, they’ve been good after the election. Time will tell. They’re saying good things these days but they’re still on probation.

Glenn Beck, that’s rich. I quit listening to that crackhead years before he tried to get Hillary elected. The rest of that list can go suck an egg, too.

On the fourth anniversary of its suicidal Against Trump editorial, the magazine's staff ran an editorial, "Impeachment Doesn’t Require a Crime."

That was referring to the technical/tactical question of what Republicans should argue. They don't think that the Senate should remove the president from office.

The problem is that you don’t know when they’re going to turn around and screw you again. Mr. Cheeto-Dust Glenn Beck acted like he was using drugs again. I was done with that clown 10 years ago.
