It is hard to select a favorite paragraph, but this one certainly holds true:
“The sad truth was that the Never Trumpers were not safeguarding the ideas of conservatism so much as themselves. Carlson nailed the heart of the matter: “If Trump is leading a populist movement, many of his Republican critics have joined an elitist one. Deriding Trump is an act of class solidarity, visible evidence of refinement and proof that you live nowhere near a Wal-Mart.” That is why the continuing success of the Trump Presidency has been met with escalating anger and vituperation from the Never Trumpers — the news cycle is a daily reminder that they were wrong about everything. Can you be wrong about everything and still be part of the elite?”
I’m a big fan of Emerald. I miss her on Newsmax.
Excellent dissertation, and spot on.
I used to subscribe to National Review for years.
When they turned out to be constant Trump bashers, I have canceled and never read them again!
I can tolerate many different views and in the beginning, it was just annoying, but eventually, it just got to me. The whole paper was unceasingly bashing Trump, forever, even when he became the nominee.
Maybe they changed now, I do not know.
Brilliant insight and foresight. She nailed it. I hope Emerald Robinson has a long career helping to shape conservative opinion.
Great read.
“Classic Takes: The Collapse of the Never-Trump Conservatives”
there’s no such thing as a never-trump CONSERVATIVE!
Great article and she’s great herself. Id like to see her run for political office.
