Another fine work by VDH. Fair and balanced and, ultimately, on the right side of history.

Balanced? It is the old bromide of the lesser of two evils. VDH does not treat Trump very flatteringly. In fact, he demeans him time and again.

VDH participated in the dedicated, entire NR issue that called for the defeat of Trump. He is changing his tune now that Trump is the nominee. The alternative is far worse for conservatism. The question is, "What took you so long to arrive at that conclusion?"

In retrospect, none of the other 2016 candidates were really competing for the disillusioned voters that Trump sewed up so clearly. For a time I thought TCruz and Trump were competing for the same voters. While TCruz may have been better on religious freedom and pro-life, his H1-B stand hurt him badly. TCruz in time became almost Bush-like.

Romney and McCain are human trash. McCain especially.

By that measure, what is 0bama? What is Clinton (pick one)?

It is because those effete academics consider Mr. TRUMP to be one of those “ROUGH MEN WHO STAND READY IN THE NIGHT TO VISIT VIOLENCE ON THOSE WHO WOULD DO US HARM”.
Just as the Lib/Prog/Transi/NWO/Demo/Socialist/Communists hate the police, the military, and the average American Citizen.
In their eyes we are all uncouth, uneducated, rough, violent men, not deserving of respect.
They have to hate him; just as they hate us, it’s in their education, upbringing, and their DNA.

I don't get what they don't like about Trump.

Trump lives in that grey area between "alpha male" and "alpha hotel"*.

To some people he looks more like the latter than the former. He reminds me of some folks I have worked with over the years, who insist on being the Big Man In Charge of the Project even when they should by all rights be back-benchers. They're annoying, and I don't like them.

But that's irrelevant; we're voting for President of the United States, not best friend, team-mate, coworker, or whatever. Trump is flawed. Hillary is evil. The distinction should be obvious.

* For those of you in Rio Linda, that's an abbreviation for "Ass Hole".

These are same people that could NEVER find a good time to go against Obama’s budget.

You mean, folks like McConnell, Graham, Ryan, Boehner? How 'bout that Hero of Party Unity, Rinse Preibus?

...any other sucker foolish enough to be famous, sloppy in electronic communications, and self-righteous, sanctimonious, and slippery. Ask the ambidextrous and once iconic Colin Powell...right on......

Former Soviet dictator Mikhail Gorbachev has said that in 1987, then-Vice President George H.W. Bush distanced himself from his own administration by telling Gorbachev, "Reagan is a conservative, an extreme conservative. All the dummies and blockheads are with him."
