Thanks for the wonderful post-——and writing.

Thanks for the ping!
Nat Rev is afraid of becoming “Irrelephant”.
Thanks for the ping.
“NR thought its best strategy during the 2007 McCain/Obama contest was to run cover after cover depicting — who? — Barack Obama, while the articles inside timidly criticized his candidacy.”
One reason I dropped my subscription was that I got extremely tired of the Obama covers.
Trump is the most conservative VIABLE candidate we have. Nit perfectly conservative but conservative enough on the biggest issues. Abortion, eminent domain, and ethanol are deck chairs on the titanic right now.
Bill Buckley had dignity - these lowlife’s riding his coat tails have ‘attitude’. Which is not the same... Buckley’s spinning in his grave.
This is a great commentary. Thank you! I think that the National Review’s actions point up the crux of the problem. The want, wishes, opinions and will of the real American people, the ordinary, working class, law abiding citizen, the kind that is flocking by the thousands to hear plain spoken Trump; are being dismissed and belittled by the “political intellectuals” who think that their purpose is to tell us what to think. After all, what would common folk know about government and it’s complexities?
The National Review’s actions have offended me highly because they have, as you have said, needlessly attacked my choice of Trump for the nomination as emotionally and mindlessly made, the same kind of pompous derision I’ve received from a few on here.
Donald Trump has already performed things that will garner my respect from now on. He has ripped back a many a curtain and exposed ugliness that was hidden. This is just another case in point.
We’re not.
LOL - Bingo....
Thanks for the ping. Great article.
There are two parts of the Uniparty: Wolves (Democrats) and Wolves in Sheep’s clothing (GOPe).
They are both wolves, and they have both been feeding off of us for years.
National Review is one of the wolves in sheep’s clothing.
The nice thing about all this is the wolves hiding inside their sheepskin have been forced to show their true colors.
National Review started to really take a dive when it lost Mark Steyn!
Maybe he is feeling his inner girl?
Professional conservatives are for the birds.
Well, if one is want to squander, legacy would certainly be the chosen item to toss. Not nearly as easy to earn as $$ but few actually see little difference. Legacy is determined by character, principals, values, and accomplishments. How long would it take to replenish those as opposed to the monetary? Must have had a handshake with that common core propaganda. They have lost so much - their firm foundation is now shaky at best. As that of so many other, they go to way of the do-do bird.
Have you seen him?
Maybe somebody in the Fox makeup stable is pranking him, but he looks positively ghostly the last few nights.
22 posts or 222 posts won’t make any difference. Cruz supporters are apoplectic because, but for Trump, Cruz would be number one.
