Jonah Goldberg: No, I Will Never ‘Come Around’ to Supporting Trump
National Review ^ | April 16, 2016 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 04/16/2016 11:01:21 AM PDT by EveningStar

... It looks like the Trump body snatching virus I wrote about last month is spreading again. For a moment, after Wisconsin, it seemed like it might be going into remission. Nope, it’s actually spiking.

Last night the New York Post endorsed Donald Trump. After I criticized the editorial on Twitter, a Trump supporter tweeted at me “No Goldberg, you are wrong. Support the front runner and stop trying to burn the party. Unite it.” ...

On the drive in to my office this morning, I heard Hillsdale College president Larry Arnn, one of the wisest and gentlest souls I’ve ever encountered, describe Trump as a “good and honest man” and “quite brilliant.” A few minutes ago on Twitter, the great semi-retired editorialist Don Surber said to me, regarding Trump, “You will come around. Others may not because they are childish.” ...

If a president Trump does the right thing, I will say he did the right thing — because that’s my job. But I will never look at that fleshy pile of vanity, crudity, and deceit and say, “There’s a good and honest man.” Yes, yes, we all believe in redemption, so maybe he could have some Oval Office conversion, find a God that doesn’t consider profit maximization to be the key measure of a man’s soul, and become a good and honest man. Maybe the sudden bowel-stewing realization that he’s wildly unqualified for the job of commander-in-chief will arouse in him a humility never displayed in his gaudy romp across our airwaves ...

PS, we know you would be happier with Hillary, but Trump is going to get elected.

Youth, it is so hard, so judgmental, so sure of itself, and so wrong!

Poor Jonah. No one cares what he comes around.

I was just wondering yesterday where old Jonah had skulked off to. I surmised it was to therapy.

Guess that isn’t working for him, either.

And they call Trump a ‘narcissist’. I doubt Jonah ever broke a sweat in his entire life... I refuse to give NR a hit, so I freely admit I only read what you snipped.

I also will never come around to supporting Trump. However if the voting choice is between Trump/Clinton or Trump/Sanders will vote for him in a heartbeat.

This schlub, along with the likes of Dana PeRino, George Will, Krauthammer, and other “principled conservatives” of their ilk, will no doubt be voting for Hillary.

This from the man whose Mother used to bump uglies secretly with Hubert Humphrey. He flipped to the left a long time ago.

If the election were held today, who would be your first choice for President of the United States?

Who would be your first choice for Donald Trump's running mate?

Who would be your first choice for Donald Trump's running mate?

Hey Jonah. Since you seem to seek wisdom you should be wise enough to know there’s a right time for the right person. Trump is paving the antiestablishment path that Cruz is merely walking in. You and your wise elders should see that a Cruz Presidency after a Trump Presidency would be more fitting and carry greater influence that a Cruz Presidency would now. You and Cruz should realize this and if Cruz bring Trump down by forcing a contested convention he will end up bringing his own political future down the toilet. This may be the best last chance the nation has and we cannot afford to get this wrong. I hope in all your wisdom seeking you realize we cant afford to be without Trump now, and them without Cruz in 8 years.
