By embracing and enlarging the lie, Trump gives his most ardent fans no escape. They must either fall in line with yet another comfortable story about how their leader is both supremely right and a victim of deceit or open themselves up to the possibility that this one instance of deception and boorishness isn’t unique but utterly representative, which it is.

And yet when Ted does it, it’s with God’s blessing.

Do any of you folks own a mirror?

Jonah acts like the daughter his mother wished she had. We all know from he hates Trump. He makes it known every time he’s on Bret Baier’s show.

I personally don’t care what he thinks. He can go kiss Hillary’s big fat booty.

Some people say that National Review has become out of touch and unreadable.

They are right.

Largely gone, except let me take one more whack at it, says Jonah.

Fields was wrong. After being asked twice by Secret Service to back off and ignoring those requests she was lightly removed. Women bruise easily, and some more than others.

I'm glad he will no longer be distracted by this non story from the very start so he can now focus on the really important issues.

More blame laid at the feet of Trump instead of who really deserves the blame.

National Review sucks. Jonah Gokdberg sucks for supporting Kevin Williamson who wrote that means dale-class whites should hurry up and die.

Bill Buckley must be spinning in his grave.

I’ll never read the National Review again.

Once upon a time Jonah Goldberg was a conservative, but he sold out long ago. This is nothing but a pack of lies. I guess he’s worried that National Review will go down the sewer without support from the criminal establishment.

Posted this on another thread, seems appropriate here too:

If a person can’t find something legitimate and insightful to post about a candidate, Trump or Cruz then restraint should be the order of the day, otherwise it’s just preaching to the choir and will garner nothing of substance, much like mastur.....

LSOS Trump lies more by breakfast than “Lying” Ted does in his lifetime.

“His “punish the women” comments were of a piece with his refusal to condemn the Klan on CNN. It’s not that he wants to punish women who have abortions — I’d bet he’s paid more abortion bills than he will ever sign — it’s that he thinks that’s what pro-lifers want to hear. It’s not that he’s a Klansman or that the pillowcases at Mara Lago come with eyeholes cut out in advance. It’s that Trump thinks lots of his fans like the Klan and he wants to pander to them.”

So this is a theory that Donald is courting the conservative vote despite not being a longtime conservative. It’s an interesting idea. There could be something to it, without it being the whole story. It’s been said that “a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged by reality.” If Donald is somewhat liberal but realizes that the liberal position on Islam is insane, that might explain a partial conversion to conservatism.

“Until Trump changed the subject to punishing women for having abortions,”

Wasn’t that a hypothetical brought up by Chrissy Matthewy?

A sentence so wrong on so many levels, it’s an irrational hate-Trump-jump the-shark moment for Jonas.

Too bad.

He’s old, the mind is going, time to retire.
