Did anyone protest when they came out the same way against Gingrich?

Look Al. What you have to understand is that the Nat Rev took a shot - not at Trump - but at the GOP-e that is now supporting Trump.
RINO’S. I don’t care if they’re GOP-e RINO’s or Nat Rev Rino’s. I don’t like them.
Lucky for me I have a conservative option that pisses both of these groups off.
Go Ted!

tldr; But I agree with the title.
As I posted in another thread —
The bloggers and columnists should consider what they are doing to their brand name (if they have any).
And that’s for both sides. Support one, don’t trash the other.

They threw away their influence.

You have got to be kidding. We know what Buckley thought of Trump. Now Buckley may have been wrong, but he spoke of Trump as a demagogue. Things could be worse, He could be a Caesar, or a Pompey, or a Crassus. As the Roman Republic collapsed in the first century B.C. that is the type the aristocratic families produced.

they had no problem with Romney Care Romney the guy who ran to the left of Ted Kennedy in a senate race just a few years before

William Buckley, speaking in 1967 of The National Review's policy towards elections, said, "Our guiding principle has always been to select the most conservative viable candidate...The wisest choice would be the one who would win... the most right, viable candidate who could win."Well said.

Gingrich was also a liberal phony. I often don't agree with National Review, but when they go after liberals like Trump and Gingrich, I agree with them. However, i doubt they should have published this issue now. For tactical reasons.

Please read it, and don't lose nerve for the fight ahead.
The next couple of weeks could seal the deal of a century.

I couldn’t believe this happened. I hope the others help me find out—could you imagine Buckley allowing Glenn Beck (a goofball overdramatic radio personality) to write columns in the magazine?

Have you noticed Lowry’s makeup on Fox the last week or so.
He’s looking like the white ghost.
He’ll be an albino before this election is over, I suppose.
And with that makeup guy, he could probably win a few Oscars just for showing up.
