cue the “National Review is just protecting the GOPe” crowd, who will conveniently ignore any negative facts about their beloved Trump.
Its important to address the arguments raised in the Editorial. Whatever one might say of the National Review, it is a leading exponent of serious intellectual conservative thinking.
I cannot disagree more. The National Review came out forcibly against Bush appointee Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court because she wasn’t conservative enough.

Perhaps I'm missing something in here, but I've yet to hear even the most conservative who doesn't believe that any solution starts at one place: Closing the border to illegals.
But hey, let's go with Bush who wants amnesty and more open borders or Rubio who wants amnesty and more open borders or — why the list goes on and on and on, and since it fits perfectly with Democrats who view these as their future voters, it will pass with ‘full bipartisan’ support which always means we get screwed.
I have zero delusions about Trump. I know he used to be quite liberal, and likely has quite a few bends in that direction today that would give me heartburn.
Democrats up until this point have absolutely shut down any discussion on the topic. Do you imagine that without Trump, there’d be ANY questions about illegal immigration?
Could someone who believes that Trump is a deep down conservative please raise your hand? Because I'm pretty sure there's no fools here. I do not expect him to declare on the first day he'll make a presidential directive outlawing abortion.
BUT he's done all of us a great favor. He's finally brought up conversations which have been forbidden. Illegal immigration, exporting of jobs, trade deals that strip the one real constitutional method of funding the government, crappy deals with Iran and the disaster fighting ISIS.
So, yes, I'm sitting here eagerly cheering him on, watching the heads of liberals in both parties explode with pent up frustration as he shatters every single ‘absolute political rule.’ They've pulled the racist card on him, he autographed it. They pulled the sexist card on him, he gave it a kiss.
Got a better idea, rather than railing on about Trump, how about getting out there and kicking the rumps of the idiot lazy politicians who are following the ‘sage’ advice of the same advisors who have lost the white house two times in a row now against - I mean this is just awesome - a first term senator who wouldn't even release his college transcripts.
Exactly! Everyone knows how strong National Review has been on the issue of illegal aliens!
What? Wait a minute.... nevermind....
What is this the seoncd... the second editorial from these people against Trump?
They did the exact same thing to REagan....the exact same thing.
Why should a candidate get specifit this early on? There are so many low info voters out there, that it’s best you make it simple for them.
Instead of a long dissertation about getting rid of the EPA, why not just say, Colorado shows we should get rid of the EPA.
Idiots...
