I can hardly wait to see what Vox Day has to say about this column of Jonah’s...
Keeping his promises in not ‘pandering to his base’.
If Trump stops on the wall, it will be the equal of gramps Bush breaking his Read my lips line.
It is not TRUMP who will stop the wall. It will be disloyal GOP Senators and Representatives. He will come out on top. They will go down in flames.
Jonah Goldberg is a never Trump idiot in the mold of Bill Krystol and George Will. He is too stupid to realize that what elitist twits like him call “pandering to his base” is what normal people call keeping his promises. He is also too insulated to realize how many people he thinks are on his side despise him and his buddies.
He hasn’t been pandering to me for a while now. Where’s the wall?
And here I thought that Trump was caving to the left and the RINOs at every turn; our cadre of screaming Never-Trumpers keep telling me so.
WHICH IS IT?!
I remember Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt spewing Out how if that terrible Ted a Cruz caused a government shutdown, surely the Reoublicans were doomed in the ‘14 mid term.
What happened? Republicans won both houses big time.
He hasn’t been pandering to me for a while now. Where’s the wall?

Hard to do when his so-called supporters evaporate whenever push comes to shove.
Those of you who don’t outright stab him in the back that is.
As soon as I saw it was Jonah Goldberg, I didn’t bother reading it.

“If we had known then what we know now, we would never have gone to war with Iraq in 2003.” — Jonah Goldberg
Goldberg is an anti-Trumper and not only mischaracterizes meeting but also repeats fake news.
Let me let you in on a little secret Jonah. The GOP no longer has a base. It’s now Trump’s base. If those who voted for Trump have to choose between supporting a president who delivers what he promises or an elite GOP establishment that has lied to them all these years, they’ll choose Trump. If this GOP thing you speak of wants a future, it needs to dump people like you and embrace the MAGA movement.
They fear that the disaffected who don’t vote will change their minds and vote for Trump. And they’re right to fear that.
Exactly! Get with Trump or “get lost”.
It’s really that simple.
Set aside the idiocy that townhall gave him a byline, Jonah is basically saying Trump needs to make appeals to Democrats like him since we’re on the way out thanks to a set in stone open borders policy. Sort of like Republican Jeff Flake’s new global warming tax bill. That’s how you connect with the suburbs.
According to the LA Times. That’s when I stopped reading. I thought somebody said there were TV cameras there.
Well ok...DC swamp scum knows best...
Never-Trumpers want Trump to listen to their problematic political philosophy and policy goals because then they win. That’s the basic problem of the Never-Trumpers, they are not about the policy goals of the voters. They are about coming up with the barest minimum of what Americans can stomach that will still fly, maybe.
Trump very well may abandon the voters if he feels like he is getting no support because the swamp is still undrained. Heck, he will also be subject to all sorts of unholy alliances to get what he needs because he is a man who makes deals with whoever is at the table.
The swamp has to get drained because it has become an entrenched bubble that is increasingly ideological and thus untethered from reality.
