"Interesting yo call them “lightweights” because they don’t toe the line on Trump?"
Are you kidding me? Tell me you're not Rich Lowry, because only he could use Trump, a month after he came along, as a shield to deflect criticism of his years of metrosexual pussiness. But the answer is no, Trump has *nothing* to do with it.
"They were both responsible for having HW withdraw the nomination of Harriet Miers to the SC. Lowry opposed all of Obama’s SC appointees. He authored several editorials against gay marriage and called for the immediate defunding of Planned Parenthood. Lowry has hammered McCain many times over."
Praising him and his ilk for those things is the equivalent of giving a child a ribbon for pissing in the toilet and not missing!
Where was he for the sticky battles? The battles for the Constitution itself? Illegal aliens, welfare, income tax, Islam, socialized medicine via Obamacare, TEA Party? Where was he when the marxist-in-chief should have been stopped for his natural born communism and lack of natural born citizenship? I'll tell you where he was, hiding in the tall grass where all cowards run, and attacking Ann Coulter in trying to shape the (R)etard party into being acceptable on the Sunday morning talk shows.
A Presidential candidate with a foreign father wasn't enough to get him to remove his bow-tie and jump into the battle. Weatherman and out-in-the-open Communist ties and Islamic leanings and Chicago connections wasn't enough. He saw the skin color and checked his eternal vigilance tat the door.
The common denominator of Lowry and Kraut and Will and VDH and a hundred more is their lack of even recognizing the enemy - Progressivism/Socialism/Communism, a worldwide movement. It has literally usurped the infallible USA without firing a shot, using our system against us. They needed to be fought on every battlefield, not just those selected by the weenie class of talking heads.
"Could it be that the real “lightweight” is a buffoon who is playing “The Apprentice” on a national stage where he does not belong?"
Well Trump is definitely a buffoon compared to the neutered metrosexual cocktail party circuit of surrender monkeys who sit around deciding which issue is too politically correct to speak, let alone fight about. But compared to the current reality of TV which is TMZ, Kardashians, MTV, Bruce Jenner, and utter filth, well, he looks almost normal. It's all relative.
There may be some who are attracted to Trump for his TV persona, not me though. I never even saw the Apprentice. Many are attracted because he has yet to back down from a fight, and has the temerity to fight back. This is what the stuffed shirts cannot grasp.
The facts point otherwise. Unlike the WSJ, NR has argued against illegal immigration and VDH has been the most ardent critic of amnesty. Same goes against gay marriage with some calling for resistance. Has Trump done so? Has Trumped called for the immediate defining of Planned Parenthood? No. Lowry et al did not provide boatloads of cash to the Clintons, Schumer’s etc. Trump was part of the system of crony capitalism.
