I wonder how much these NROers gave to the Clinton Foundation? Whoops.
This is just a reminder as to why Ann Coulter referred to the editors of NR as girly-men.
what about the other writers, were they ‘fan boys’? Nice cherry pick. Apparently Trump was a fan boy of Hillary and Mitch McConnell.
Thanks for pointing this out.
So was Trump.
Trump was also one of those 2009 Obama fan-boys...
I doubt if any intelligent observer considering that list would draw the conclusion that anyone on it was a conservative. Claiming to speak for conservatives and actually holding conservative principles are two different things.
And then there's that cover. Mind you, I know that my man Yeb! is the inevitable choice but it's a tough sell at the moment given that he's only drawing 40%...oh, wait, decimal place error, 4%...of the popular vote. The little people know nothing, as anyone on that list above will tell you. With a GOPe consisting of such luminaries it's a wonder we still bother to have elections in this country.
They should stop bitching, IMHO. Whoever is elected, they'll be able to slide into a comfortable seat of sideline criticism without accountability. Nice salaries, lots of air time - great gig if you can get it. Most of the rest of the media have already realized this.
Names like Thomas Sowell.
Dana Loesch, Bret Bozell, Kate Pavlich were never fanboys.
Bump that!
Posting *sundance is never a bad move. Thanks so much!
McCain was in an almost impossible situation. Bush had been so incompetent that any Republican would have a hard time unless they could bring back Eisenhower. Bush was a disaster for the country as well as for the Republican Party. Then he asked me about Barack Obama.
I told him that Barack will need to be a great president because we're in serious trouble as a country. It hasn't been this way since 1929.
So he doesn't have much choice-he will simply have to be great, which he has a very good chance of being. What he has done is amazing. The fact that he accomplished what he has-in one year and against great odds-is truly phenomenal. If someone had asked me if a black man or woman could become president, I would have said yes, but not yet.
Barack Obama proved that determination combined with opportunity and intelligence can make things happen-and in an exceptional way. He is not walking into an easy or enviable situation. As of October of 2008, the U.S. government reported a $237 billion deficit. The good news is that Obama seems to be well aware of the situation. His comments have led me to believe that he understands how the economy works on a comprehensive level.
He has also surrounded himself with very competent people, and that's the mark of a strong leader. I have confidence he will do his best, and we have someone who is serious about resolving the problems we have and will be facing in the future.To me that is very good news. After 9/11, this country received a lot of compassion from countries and people around the world. Within a short amount of time, however, we were hated. How did that happen? We had no dialogue with other countries because they just plain hated us.
What's different today is that we have a new chance, a new beginning. The world is excited about Barack Obama and the new United States. Let's keep it that way.
The NRO authors do not convince me to leave Trump; if anything they make me more likely to consider him. OTOH, Palin’s endorsement was not enough to get me to abandon Cruz, and REC is still my top choice.
If I was Krauthammer, I would be terribly embarrassed at this point. I can’t believe he actually said those things about obama all proving to be total incorrect. Boy, did the big “0” get over on them but good!
He’s about the only one on the list that I was pretty sure wasn’t working for The Cheap Labor Express.
Hannity pointing out now, NRO was against Reagan (”he’s an actor”) too.
In the following Trump interview from 2012,Trump was asked about running for president, to “lead the way”. Trump said he hopes someone else would emerge as a leader.
Of those who signed on to the manifesto, did they step up? Trump DID !
