Jonah Goldberg: Trump Fans, It's Time for an Intervention
National Review Online ^ | 7-11-2015 | Jonah Goldberg (or…)

Posted on 07/13/2015 9:26:59 AM PDT by C. Edmund Wright

Isnip)......I truly, honestly, and with all my heart and mind think Donald Trump’s most ardent supporters are making a yuuuuuuge mistake. I think they are being conned and played. I feel like a guy whose brother is being taken advantage of by a grifter. I’m watching helplessly as the con artist congratulates him for taking out a third mortgage......(snip)

Okay, calm down...I do not agree with all of this article, but I posted it because he does ask some reasonable questions to conservatives who think Donald Trump is the conservative answer. I wonder if anyone on FR will stop flaming long enough to actually answer these questions.......

Good luck.

Well....the fact that I'll need it....kind of proves at least some of Jonah's points, doesn't it?

I’m not looking for a conservative. I am looking for someone who will take on the Democrats, media, and political correctness. Trump seems to be able to do this.

When Jonah Goldberg started out and was interviewed on radio he typically would put the word “like” into each one of the sentence is about 4 times.

BIGGEST VALLEY GIRL IN THE WORLD.

Oh, and for the record I only support proven conservatives, that leaves Trump out.

First, let me thank you for actually addressing the issue. And while I respect your honesty here, I think it makes Jonah's point for him that conservatives are making a mistake thinking Trump is one of them. You more or less have admitted that's not the case, but you have your reasons. And BTW, I love your reasons.

I just think Cruz, for example, gives us the same willingness to take on those very groups - and in fact, has done so for his entire adult life...something Trump cannot say.

Perfect. That about sums it up for me as well.

You see..only 6 posts in and it already starts to degrade into lunacy. It's hopeless.

Since Jonah’s not running for President, why don’t you see if you can logically confront him on anything. If he’s the Valley Girl you say, then I’m sure you are more than smart enough to logically and intellectually counter him.

I’ll be waiting....

A very important observation...I guess.

Concern trolls.

Love or hate ‘em they’re like road apples, you gotta step around them if you’re going to make progress.

Which is about how often Trump puts the phrase “I’m great” in every one of his interviews....:)

Jonah and National Review have SO much #butthurt over Trump's success so far. It's hilarious and points to their Northeast establishment bias. Jonah didn't fall too far from the Lucianne tree.

Dana Loesch summed it up perfectly.

She stated: "It’s easier for a party to make one guy the villain than it is to admit that his ascent shows how badly they’ve screwed up all these years."
