Was Victor always on board with Trump? Hard to keep some of the players straight.

I think Hanson has been relatively pro-trump.

No, he wasn’t.

Not real vocal about it, but wrote about his dislike.

Glad to see him finally on board.

What rubbish.

And no one, no one, has sung the praises of VDH more than I have.
He is a saboteur in this watershed election, too-late-to-the-party now. Throw him
on the heap with all the others whom we have read, and admired, and listened to,
who showed their true colors in this time of greatest need.

VDH has been onboard for a while. He’s a fart in a hurricane at that cesspool.

He’s on every week for a segment on WIBC radio with Greg Garrison out of Indy.

He was not a Trump supporter in the primaries. That, I remember.

I had to quit listening to that station til the primaries were over because every single host and guest there was anti-Trump.

Many of us did not vote in the primaries for Trump...

The irony is now upon us that Trump may have been the most conservative Republican candidate who still could beat Hillary Clinton — and that if he were to win, he might usher in the most conservative Congress, presidency, and Supreme Court in nearly a century.

Welcome home.

You are correct. VDH’s conversion to Trump is recent. I believe he has written a couple of pro-Trump columns lately.

Victor is a soldier of honesty, ethics and right mindedness. He might very well be the only NReview columnist allowed to write a piece like this. Worth studying his work and history.

That is how I remember it but I wanted to make sure. Like you I am glad to see him on board the Trump train.

Oh get over it! I’m about sick of the vitriol from all conservative sides. This isn’t the Hatfield’s & McCoys! Let it go. We aren’t each others enemy :)

It should not be any so called Republican not voting for Trump with the exception of the bunch of idiots like Romney etc. These #never trump idiots don’t understand that this country is in peril to be destroy.

I read most of it this morning. It’s unnecessarily long winded and smug on account of he’s so smart and everything.

I remember he referred to Mr Trump as a “lecherous cretin” at one point mixed in with all his other fancy words.

Win or lose, we know a lot more about how things work thanks to Donald Trump.
