The debate would have given NR an audience of millions. Their “special edition” ragazine, not so much. Dopes.

National Review wants a President who 'fits in rooms that smell of old leather and cigars - - someone who will muse with them about conservative philosophy and the future.

Conservative elites don't give a damn about what happens in the country to everyday Americans. Well, except in the abstract - as a form of entertainment.

I’m going to vote for Cruz, but firing NR over what they did was spot on.

They are about as impartial as Megynnnnnn, Candy and little Georgie Staphlococcus.

NR is a subversive organization, working to undermine the constitution. It is part of the panoply of superficially "opposing" voices that lead the casual observer to think the politics of this country produces some kind of meaning choice, when the fact of the matter is that all of the professional politicians are NWO types, or NWO dupes.

Frankly, I'm surprised the RNC is making this move. I suppose it has a purpose, the RNC/GOPe can point to this action as evidence that it is not subversive of the US constitution, although Certifying Cruz as qualified gives them away as being just as duplicitous (and in fact more dangerous) than NR.

It’ll be interesting if there’s a drop in National Review’s quarterly subscription numbers.

Just went over to their website. Sure enough. It’s full of articles by Glenn Beck, Thomas Sowell and the Editors all negative for Trump, and really nothing to say about anyone else.

WOW!!!

This used to be a mainstay read for me, esp Thomas Sowell. It’s now a source for intellectual waste.

But I’m thinking why now? Why print this now?

I am gleefully taking them off my “favorite” site...In fact, I haven’t really liked them since they changed their format which is all to complicated to maneuver through. I liked their old format.

NRO with Glenn Beck?

BaBye...

although I like Ted and Donald, I stopped reading National Review after they kept beating up on Donald. I’m from New York City and I don’t know if he’s the real deal or not, but he can’t be dismissed. that being said I wish he hadn’t switched parties so many times or made so many statements in the past that were not quite conservative. We shall see what happens.

The RNC is facing the same problem as the grassroot voters have in the past, the lesser of two weevils....

I don’t think it’s so much ‘lesser of...’, but rather a case of money and a case of hedging their bets.

Trump likely would have dropped out of the debate. That’s what I would have done. The leader doesn’t really actually gain much by opening himself up as a target, and he’s had enough debates to say he isn’t chicken. Losing Trump would have cost the RNC money in what they’re going to get paid from the networks who host it. And by giving Trump and his supporters another issue to browbeat ‘the establishment’ it wouldn’t have increased their stock with the voters any.

My mind isn't made up on Cruz, on a question of fundamental character.

He's not qualified for the office. He knows he is not qualified, nobody foreign-born is qualified. That the public doesn't know this is a mystery to me, "flat earth society" level mystery. This is a "reverse-birther" distinction in my mind. One has to be a kook to believe that Cruz is qualified.

The RNC (which was the subject of my remarks) knows Cruz is not qualified, but it chose to participate in an illegal and immoral act, subversive of the constitution, by certifying Cruz as eligible and allowing him to appear on primary ballots in the several states.

Maybe this sin is undertaken with a greater good in mind, teaching the public the meaning of "natural born Citizen." And so, until events lay out, I withhold my ultimate judgment on Cruz.

I like his politics.

To answer your Q to another poster. I have come to not like him as much as I did when this started. He lacks wisdom. My 70 year old mother started out pointing out why she did not trust him at all. I thought he was great. She told me, mark my words, that man is a snake. I watched. He was set to be VP, even faked mutual support and pretended to not mind being second. Doesn’t have the charisma to win this time around. I got that. Then attacks Trump. Trump attacks back, harder... a lot harder. Idiot ruined his chances for VP and POTUS after that. You don’t pull a tigers tail when old ladies think you are a snake. They cheer on the carnage that follows. I still like him, but he is too smart for his own good. It bit him in the ass hard core. He will be lucky to keep his senate seat after this is all over. His snake bit him, and I am afraid career wise, mortally.
