Conservative heroine Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum is slamming National Review, declaring it does not represent "the authority on conservatism."

Schlafly had previously thrown her weight behind Donald Trump, describing him as the "the only hope to defeat the Kingmakers" - or the Republican establishment. In exclusive comments to Breitbart News, Ed Martin, the president of Schlafly's grassroots organization Eagle Forum, predicted that "National Review will be defunct in the next year or so."

Probably not.

But they didn’t do themselves any favours.

She’s right... Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes did it to themselves by being stupid. They would have been better served to have just kept out of it. Point out what you like or don’t like about a candidate but don’t take sides. Because if your side loses you’re toast.

Maybe NR should have died with Bill Buckley.

Oh, for Pete's sake, they stated their opinion.

Just like you did with your comment.

For that, they must die!

Schlafy questioned the National Review’s Conservative creditials, but other than “right to life” and “gay” issues, there are good grounds to question hers. Me thinks Trump is buying some “quasi” Conservative support, which I expect any who are true Conservatives will live to regret. Just because Trump was not part of the GOP elite, does not make him particularly Conservtive, yet that - that he was not considered part of the GOP elite was ABOUT THE ONLY THING that ingratiated him to many Conservatives in the GOP grass roots. It was a mistake.

Now Trump and the GOP elite are out to knock of the candidates who have stood the longest against the GOP elite, and with the Conservative grass roots.

To me its like the Conservative grass roots was led into committing political suicide; fooled by an image, and one without any real Conservative substance.

Would an even nominally Conservative candidate select this person for their staff:

The paper National Review may die soon, but it will survive as a web only outlet.
