This guy Hayes ought to be fair and balanced when he writes this drivel. He is an anti Trump hack who was part of the hate gate that encompassed the National Review flank action against Trump. Fair and Balanced? I think not.

National Review publication of the collective anti-Donald Trump missives from 22 self-appointed conservative potentates has caused quite a stir in Republican circles.

The nationwide responses range from, Wait, I thought National Review went out of business years ago, to Ed Meese? Seriously?

The Gang of 22 have officially become parodies of themselves. One would have to reach back to the days of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew to lift an adequate quote to describe them.

Nattering nabobs of negativism, vicars of vacillation, pusillanimous pussyfooters, the decadent few, ideological eunuchs, the effete corps of impudent snobs, or the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history - take your pick, because they all apply about equally well to each and every one of them.

So clueless is the Gang of 22 they can not even see how they haveve stumbled right into the narrative Trump has been communicating so successfully for months. Just like the elected officials from both parties, the Gang of 22 has been GREAT at complaining about stuff, year, after year, after year.

But getting anything accomplished? Not so much.

Many of the Gang of 22 have been hanging around and chattering for decades, and some are active cogs in the Conservative Entertainment Complex, deriving their income by pandering to conservative anger while offering no real solutions.

Donald Trump represents a threat to these ineffectual poohbahs in the same way he represents a threat to do-nothing public officials.

Jealousy is also seriously at work here. Trump is inspiring and exciting a broad spectrum of the country like no member of the Gang of 22 ever has, or ever will.

In just seven months of campaigning, Trump already has more Americans listening to a Republican message than the entire Gang of 22 could muster over decades.

Trump understands that before you can advance the ball, you have to convince people to take time from their busy lives to listen. No one on the GOP side since Ronald Reagan has accomplished that like Trump.
