LOL of course. VDH is great. All the others though? Jonah Goldberg...out. Notice how they are doing the magicians trick. Look at all the issues we have in this hand, dont notice that conservatives are pissed off about what is in the other hand. National Review in my opinion is not doing any self examination. None of them. They want to steer us back to the comfy middle business as normal area. Notice we have been trying a reasonable response to immigration and we get Bush going for amnesty. Bush was NR’s guy. National Review is dead.
Not to mention that they had no problem cheering heartily for McCain (!) and Romney (!) during their campain=gns, despite their many deviations from conservative principle. Their rejection of Trump makes no sense in that context. They write disparagingly of “Trumpism”, but did not have similar contempt for Bushism, McCainism, or Romneyism (they never used such terms).
