Against Trump [National Review's Manifesto]

National Review ^ | 1/22/16 | The Editors

[uncbob]

the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP

Like the members of congress who give Obama all he wants and confirmed Loretta Lynch and Obama judges

[The Iceman Cometh]

No flaming, but saddened Dana Loesch has chosen sides. Cheerleaders make terrible talk show hosts.

[SamAdams76]

Flame away? Why?

This is great news for Donald Trump. The Jebbie Bush/Karl Rove mouthpiece has come out against Donald Trump.

[stylin19a]

ERICK ERICKSON: I would vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.

says it all.

[odawg]

“As for illegal immigration, Trump pledges to deport the 11 million illegals here in the United States, a herculean administrative and logistical task beyond the capacity of the federal government.”

That is as far as I needed to read.

So, whoever NR endorses, we know straight away that that candidate is opposed to deportation of illegals, otherwise, NR could not bless them.

Who will get their nod? Cruz? Will Cruz refuse their endorsement because he supports (supposedly) amnesty? We know that the rest support amnesty. Maybe that is why Rubio came out for amnesty Sunday; he is working with NR?

“But I thought the establishment was embracing Trump!?”

The establishment IS embracing Trump and vice versa, but the CONSERVATIVES are NOT!! These authors are conservatives and not GOPe. That is the difference.

[Helicondelta]

These “intellectuals” need to go find a real job.

They are all useless bums who have outlived their usefulness.

When Trump brings back jobs from China maybe they can find work at an Apple plant assembling iPhones.

[The Toll]

They didn’t crap their pants like this over McCain or Romney because they new damn well they would do nothing to secure the border and shut down the cheap labor.

[LuvFreeRepublic]

It will be either Trump or the Democrat nominee, PERIOD. Obviously the GOP would prefer Hillary or Sanders, over Trump. They don’t want to win. They just want to maintain the status quo. The government tit is rich and crony capitalists pay very well.

[odawg]

I scanned the lay out and got a laugh. Fittingly, Glenn Beck is first. He sets the tone for sure. I noticed the amnesty pimp Russell Moore is one of the contributors; they must have scraped the bottom of the barrel.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

Precisely. Where was the revolt in ‘08 and ‘12?

[LS]

And NRO slips into permanent irrelevance.

[ETL]

democrat socialists are against him and worried about him.

Trump endorsed Marxist Bill de Blasio for NYC mayor in 2013 (my title)

"... Fred Dicker: What is it going to mean for Donald Trump to have Bill de Blasio as [New York City] Mayor?"

Donald Trump: "He's a smart guy that knows what's going on really big league and I think he is not going to want to destroy New York."

Voice Over: That was Donald Trump a little over two years ago, endorsing PC Socialist Bill de Blasio for New York Mayor.

Donald Trump: "I think pretty strongly that he'll end up being a good mayor, maybe a very good mayor."

Voice Over: De Blasio ran on class warfare, sanctuary cities and ending stop and frisk. De Blasio's sided with looters and cop killers against the police, with teachers unions against schoolchildren and with PC liberals to let the homeless run wild on city streets.

Donald Trump: "I think he is going to want to make New York great. ..."

America's First Openly Marxist Big City Mayor [Bill de Blasio]

Cliff Kincaid - November 5, 2013

Described by CNN as the "unabashed liberal," de Blasio is actually to the left of Barack Obama, in the sense that de Blasio didn't disavow his communist background once it came to light. At least Obama tried to cover up his ties to communist Frank Marshall Davis.

De Blasio had scrubbed the Marxist connections from his campaign website, an omission that momentarily captured the attention of The New York Times. But once these connections and controversies came to light, he embraced his sordid history. He still embraces [communist] liberation theology and his work for the communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua.

Nobody believed the purpose of his "honeymoon" to Cuba was actually a honeymoon, but the media didn't even bother to check into how he made the illegal trip and whether the FBI had developed a file on the candidate.

De Blasio was so open about his Marxism that on Sunday, he campaigned with Harry Belafonte, who during the Cold War sang at a "Concert for Peace" in communist East Germany, where he attacked President Reagan's anti-communist foreign policy. A long-time supporter of the Castro dictatorship, Belafonte was also an ally of the late Venezuelan Marxist ruler Hugo Chavez. ..."

-snip-

De Blasio can be expected to side with Soros and his "progressive base," rather than the police.

De Blasio can also do a lot of damage in the area of surveillance of potential Muslim terrorists. He made a campaign promise to a Muslim group that he would stop the practice of sending informants into mosques and Muslim student organizations.

Going further, if he moves to dismantle the NYPD's counter-terrorism programs, the city and nation could suffer through another 9/11.

Pamela Geller, a New Yorker, comments that the kind of journalism that we saw in the mayoral contest "is not just irresponsible; it endangers us all."

[EveningStar]

TBBT, conservatives are supposed to be the adults in the room - the realists - the people who live in the real world. You are one of those.

Unfortunately, many of our colleagues are not. They act like Leftists: they want to have a hero come in riding a white horse and rescue them.

They don't care about the details of what their hero says. They care only that it makes them feel good.

Sad. :(

[Behind the Blue Wall]

Nobody cares what they think.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Desperate pleadings. :-)

[NRx]

Well that didn’t take long. Someone pulled this thread from the Breaking and Front Page columns. Apparently each and everyone of The Donald’s stump speeches qualify as breaking news but anything critical is not allowed in the side bar.

Well FR may be in the tank for this narcissistic political fraud, but I am not. There is no circumstance that I can reasonably envision under which I will cast a vote for this snake oil salesman. If he gets the nomination I will vote third party or stay home.

[ETL]

Trump: "I think its fine. I think its fine, but we should have made a better deal"...
"The concept of opening with Cuba is fine."

A Better Deal with Cuba, says Donald Trump

Is the National Review worried and concerned? good, they should be and all those names listed...are now on my ‘
DO NOT SUPPORT OR LISTEN TO GROUP’

THEY OBVIOUSLY WANT JEB and as far as I'm concerned, we have all said NO MORE BUSH'S...I WAS A SUPPORTER OF GWB...he left me down and defeated when he failed to defend himself when Hussein o. totally trashed him and all he did...so I will never support another Bush.

This bull from National Review is all BUSH...nothing more...and they are all scared of the popularity of DONALD J. TRUMP...the people support him, none of the other candidates have the support and crowds he generates..

I personally like what he has to say, I like he is paying his own way, and will be owned by no one...

tonight I sent an email to KELLY FILE, and I got a message back from Microsoft that I am on a list to not be accepted at the Kelly File!!! can you believe, they don't want to hear from us who speak or write negative about Meghan and Fox News.. I've put the message in my save file...

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA??? IT IS SO UNBELIEVABLE..A NATION MY FAMILY MEMBER ALL SERVED IN THE MILITARY FOR...I'M SO SAD TO SAY, THAT THIS COUNTRY WILL BE DESTROYED AND NOT IN MY LIFE TIME, AS I'M OLD AND MY DAYS ARE LIMITED...BUT FOR MY ADULT CHILDREN, I TRULY WEEP...

[ETL]

For the record, Trump was in his mid-50s in 1999. So he wasn't just some confused college kid when he said he supported gays in the military and all forms of abortion, including partial birth.

Here's the 1999 Donald Trump 'New York Values' Interview Cruz Has Been Talking About

by Josh Feldman
January 16th, 2016

In continuing his "New York values" line of attack, Ted Cruz brought up an interview Donald Trump gave years ago in which he himself emphasized his New York background as being important to his political philosophy. And now we have that interview.

Cruz's campaign posted the video earlier today of Trump with Tim Russert on Meet the Press in 1999.

Russert asked Trump about gay marriage. Trump didn't want to comment on it, but said he has no problem with gays in the military.

He explained, "I've lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life, okay? So my views are a little bit different than if I lived in Iowa."

When Russert asked Trump about abortion, he said he's "pro-choice in every respect" and again cited his New York background, which he said has a "different attitude" from most of the country.
