Conserve what?
Open borders?
20 trillion in debt?
A million Muslims brought here PER YEAR?
No thanks.
A valid bit point but mental masturbation never the less
The dems must be laughing their asses off. Can you imagine a liberal magazine ganging up and trashing one of their candidates, the one leading in the polls as a matter of fact. One thing for sure they stick together, whereas we eat our own. Whether you’re a Trump fan or not, this is reprehensible .
The GOPe is perfectly happy to elect Hillary.
They don’t want to lose Congress. The chairmanships and purse strings. Then they can blame the Dem president and say, “Oh well we tried.”
With a Republican president they’d be put on the spot.
Equally reprehensible is every.single.R.candidate calling themselves Conservative. It started last election cycle and ramped up to where the word is now pointless.
National review’s view of conservatism sounds a whole lot like crony capitalism to me.
Conservatism is NOT an opportunistic change in core beliefs.
Conservatism is Pro-Life without caveats.
Conservatism is Pro-2a without caveats.
Conservatism is anti-amnesty without caveats.
Conservatism does not support Eminent Domain for the enrichment of cronies.
lol. I would almost like to see donnie win just to see the heads explode.
Actually, it’s “Conservativism”.
But nobody says that.
I want all the people who say they will leave the country to sign a contract on that.

Glenn Beck to Vote for Hillary if McCain is GOP Nominee
Glenn Beck - Why he would of voted for Hillary instead of John McCain
Glenn Beck: McCain would've been worse
Glenn Beck: I May have Voted for Hillary Clinton
Glenn Beck: 'I won't vote for Trump.' (Even if running against Hillary)
What we are “eating” is not “one of our own”, but the enemy which had disguised itself as one of us.
And queer child-molesters, baby killers, screaming communists, tree-hugging moonbats etc...
In fact, if the US world-view and government pendulum were to swing to Constitutionalists and other right-wing extremists, the progressives and RATagandists would then become the "conservatives".
I think it was Buckley that said all politicians will disappoint you.Right synagogue, wrong rabbi: it was original National Review publisher William A. Rusher. Various NR writers over the years have cited Mr. Rusher telling that to new hires at the magazine so long as he worked there.
On what side would Trump disappoint by being too conservative.All things considered, that will never happen. (Not the disappointment; not Mr. Trump being any kind of conservative, "too" or otherwise.)
It merely begins with the most conspicuous trait he has displayed during his campaign, even if only too many of his supporters seem a) oblivious to it; or, b) inclined to excuse it: the Constitutional illiteracy that permits him to speak as though the separation of powers---one of the very things that enrages about His Excellency Al-Hashish Field Marshmallow Dr. Barack Obama Dada and at least a few presidents preceding him---was rhetoric and not part and parcel of the supreme law of the land.
I don’t need Glenn Beck, or NPR, or their reasons for not supporting Trump, for me to not Support Trump; and I don’t.
Against the phony “comprehensive immigration reform” and against amnesty”, as I am? What makes Trump the only one running who agrees with that? Zip, zilch, nada. What makes Trump ahead of or before others running who agree with us on that? Zip, zilch, nada.
How about on Putin? The record produces the same answers. As it does on taxes (Steve Forbes like’s Carson’s plan most of all), trade, China and whole host of issues.
Trump might reflect more emotional angst, but on the facts and on the record there is nothing that puts his positions ahead of some other GOP candidate, and usually put him in a “less than” position as far as knowledge and details of any position.
I think it is populist angst joined with populist nationalism that some (shall I say less well read, less informed) in the GOP have become attracted to Trump. Like many Dims were attracted to Obama because of how they put their “dreams” into what he said, some in the GOP get drawn to Trump because of what they think Trump would do, but I believe in reality they really don’t know what any actual Trump policy will look like.
Populist nationalism is not in and of itself Conservatism. And joining it together with populist angst does not make it a necessarily Conservative position either. Matter of fact, some of that same populist angst is what draws some on the left to Bernie Sanders, taking a different angry position on the causes of what ails people, the economy, whatever. And Bernie’s solutions are as one track (socialism) as Trump’s are - HE will solve it. That’s not a solution; that’s just an ego.
I call you all Grumps Against Trump
I am not “grumpy”. I’m positive, and positively not for any GOP-elite, nor for Trump.
