Trump is like the music man. He’s growing a heart in the middle of his con. That’s why I love him.

It’s that I can see through it. Or at least I think I can. What I am truly clueless about is how so many other people can’t. — Jonah Goldberg is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a senior editor of National Review.
................................................

It's to bad that you are so unimportant to any one other than yourself....

As far as you can see thur our stand behind Trump, or think you can...you couldn't find your way out of a wet paper bag...

As far as your ‘whatever’ it was you wrote, I have seen children write better and more educated than you...

If you don't like Trump, fine don't, but don't use your stupidity to down those of us that do!

Maybe if you would have put this much effort into the past 7 1/2 years, you would have gained more respect from the legal voters of America...and we wouldn't have had as many spineless sissies in our government as we do today, but you would know about that, because anyone who doesn't stand up for Trump is just that, a spineless sissy!

I used to love his articles for the humor.

But he doesn’t get it.

I dont care if Trump is a complete narcissist and will say AND do all of the conservative things he promises just to achieve personal greatness.

As long as he takes the country with him on the ride to greatness

One of the things that I have learned in my decades of Bible study is that Elohim really likes a good pun. They are all through the Bible. Wouldn’t it be funny if Donald Trump is Elohim’s pun on the “last trumpet” that sounds before the Netchatef/Harpazo/Rapture of the Called Out Ones (Invisible Church)?

So where are all those daily National Review articles discussing how Yeb! doesn’t need the conservative base?

Here’s the deal on Trump. There are those of us prepared to give him benefit of the doubt (e.g. me), and those who are not (you).

The glaring omission in Goldberg's thesis is "then what do you propose in Trump's stead seeing as all traditional avenues have proven unfruitful?"

He is wildly mistaken in maintaining "against GOPe" is not "for Trump." Those are our only choices.

I used to read everything Goldberg wrote.

When he fired her from National Review I realized what a pu$$y he was and never pay any attention to him any more.

I can easily dissect Jonah's major problem:
Jonah Goldberg thinks his opinions matter!He truly thinks his opinions offer fresh insight and that Trump supporters will fall inline immediately after reading his columns.



LOLOLOLOL.

Jonah is too bitter, gossipy and Establishment to influence supporters of candidates outside the Establishment, and in particular, supporters of Donald Trump.

Jonah’s “fresh insight” has become very stale.

He really should take up knitting or crochet for awhile to give his keyboard a rest.

He has a negative Trump obsession.

To wit: I don’t think Trump is a conservative. I don’t think he’s a very serious person. I don’t think he’s a man of particularly good character. I don’t think he can be trusted to do the things he promises. Etc. If all that hurts your feelings, I’m sorry. But there’s no need to make up imaginary motives. The reason I’m writing such things is that I believe them — and that’s my job.

Agree with him or not, that's not completely off the wall.

LOL. You’re right and I vote for “knitting.”
