But you slogged through it at least far enough to nail them on yet another piece of Trump-hate-driven ‘analysis.’ I appreciate that—and you’re 100% right. The analogy is perfect; it summed the issue up very well.
Rick Lowry and company keep trying to redeem themselves in their own eyes. They made themselves irrelevant by starting this Never Trump nonsense. They think by writing long winded intellectual sounding analysis that they can sound intelligent again. But they demonstrated for all that they can't see the noses on their own faces even when looking in the mirror. They might as well toss the National Review name. They burned NR's reputation to the ground. Poor Bill Buckley must be turning over in his grave!
‘They might as well toss the National Review name. They burned NR’s reputation to the ground.’
You have a way with words. That’s exactly what they did. They must have imagined the National Review was about a thousand times more influential than it was. [Have to speak in the past tense, because whatever influence they *had* is long gone.] So they thought if they threw themselves to the ground hard enough, kicked their feet, hammered their fists and held their breath, people would jump off the Trump Train.
That was one of the bigger miscalculations in this last election cycle. Your analysis is dispositive; they failed to affect the election but succeeded in self-immolating. Too bad.
