Jonah Goldturd trying to convince us he’s still smart even thought he’s been wrong about everything so far.

There is a danger... the news media noticed a number of months ago that complaining about Trump’s policy decisions was helping him. It was showing how effective he was being. They have since stopped talking about those and harped on the do-nothing Congress as an extension of Trump not accomplishing anything.

This is dangerous. Many people held their nose for the “blow-hard” because they understood and supported his policies. The politics of personal destruction don’t work on him because people voted knowing his negatives. His poll numbers were improving as he systematically fulfilled campaign promises. If the media is successful in showing Trump as a “blow-hard” AND ineffectual... that could spell trouble and may explain a downturn in the polls.

I’ve seen this tactic work too many times to dismiss it.

Sorry Jonah. The last thing you ever did that I agreed with is when you wrote Liberal Fascism. You have been a dud ever since.

You should be rallying the troops, rather than dividing them.

I grew up with Goldwater and Reagan and deemed them as honorable men, you are not.

I read every WFB,Jr. book I could get my hands on when I was young. You and your ilk has destroyed National Review in my eyes.

Despite all my “conservative friends” advise, I voted for President Trump because it would prevent Hillary from getting her filthy hands on the judiciary. I am more than pleased at what President Trump has accomplished.

I wasn’t all in for President Trump at the beginning, yet he has accomplished more for the conservative cause since Reagan, if not more. Goldwater said that he didn’t come to pass new laws, but to eliminate them.

Trump is doing that. He is returning power back to the States, rather than isolating it in the Feds. Small government and States rights used to be clarion call of the Republican Party along with the 1st and 2nd Amendment.

I am a conservative, Jonah, you are not. Where did you go wrong?

“I’m a Fox contributor and a Trump skeptic (aka a former “Never Trumper”).

Stopped reading there. I thought it was going to be a serious article.

Detestable trout vomit. Goldberg, like a 12 year old public school Beyonce devotee, is
interested only in drama, likeability, polls.

Buckley the visionary found stimulation in ideas. I truly believe he would have applauded
Trump's bold moves to implement Conservative economic policies, to make the focus of
national policy the interests of the American populace.

Goldberg wrote an important book - Liberal Fascism. But his writings since then are in
some sense moribund.

First: some disclosure. I'm a Fox contributor and a Trump skeptic (aka a former "Never Trumper"). That makes this an awkward column to write, for reasons that should be fairly obvious.

Jonah, No one is asking you to write an awkward column. So do yourself -- and the rest of us -- a favor, and just STFU!
