... It looks like the Trump body snatching virus I wrote about last month is spreading again. For a moment, after Wisconsin, it seemed like it might be going into remission. Nope, it’s actually spiking.
Last night the New York Post endorsed Donald Trump. After I criticized the editorial on Twitter, a Trump supporter tweeted at me “No Goldberg, you are wrong. Support the front runner and stop trying to burn the party. Unite it.” ...
On the drive in to my office this morning, I heard Hillsdale College president Larry Arnn, one of the wisest and gentlest souls I’ve ever encountered, describe Trump as a “good and honest man” and “quite brilliant.” A few minutes ago on Twitter, the great semi-retired editorialist Don Surber said to me, regarding Trump, “You will come around. Others may not because they are childish.” ...
If a president Trump does the right thing, I will say he did the right thing — because that’s my job. But I will never look at that fleshy pile of vanity, crudity, and deceit and say, “There’s a good and honest man.” Yes, yes, we all believe in redemption, so maybe he could have some Oval Office conversion, find a God that doesn’t consider profit maximization to be the key measure of a man’s soul, and become a good and honest man. Maybe the sudden bowel-stewing realization that he’s wildly unqualified for the job of commander-in-chief will arouse in him a humility never displayed in his gaudy romp across our airwaves ...

I am answering for me, not EveningStar.
I am not voting for Trump, or for any Dim or GOPe candidate or nominee, but I am voting for the down ticket races that comply with those restrictions, and any State and local issues and question on the ballot.
In other words, your assumption in general is flawed.
Good for you, Jonah. I feel the same.
I'm voting for Trump. Only Trump. If I have to write him in.
I'm also voting for my US Rep, who is an early endorser. I'm not sure I'll vote for anyone else.
I've spent some time today researching other political parties in the event that I need to leave the Republican Party. We've had a good run, over 35 years. But my salvation doesn't depend on being a loyal Republican.
Jonah Goldberg continues his slide into (greater) irrelevancy.
He and NR accepted the Cruz superpac payola. Of COURSE he can’t renege on that. He be blacklisted forever. Or Brietbarted. Those guys taking that payola in “conservative” media are deeply in the pockets of hedgefund managers, Cheap Labor Express, etc.
REALLY?
“”become a good and honest man””
I’d like to ask Jonah a question. That’s a pretty strong statement about his judgment.
What do you know that supports your contention that Trump is NOT a good and honest man? I don’t recall ANY news stories - ever - that say otherwise. Put up or shut up! Everyone is entitled to feel/believe/ as they wish, no argument. But to imply someone is not a good and honest person simply because you don’t LIKE THEM, doesn’t say much for your intelligence.
So who does Jonah Goldbrick support, Bush???
We’re at a point now where the American people are showing that they’re smarter than the journalist/punditocracy. Jonah knows this now and he’s embarrassed with nowhere to go but to continue to double down.

Too bad. All the fun is on the Trump train. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFlE5KNdOqk
I’ve asked the question numerous times to Cruz supporters and I’ve never had one reply where they said Cruz would win in November after a contested convention. Yet they still want a contested convention.
Which tells me the majority of Cruz supporter here would rather beat Trump than Hillary. Pathetic.
IMO, both are too badly damaged at this point so let the contested convention happen and let the chips fall were they may.
Then, if Hillary ends up winning, hopefully, we can find a candidate that can unite the base. I don’t think neither one can do that at this point. I was here during the Romney Wars and the division is greater now than then
“And they call Trump a ‘narcissist’. I doubt Jonah ever broke a sweat in his entire life.”
But he did get his hands dirty once when his fountain pen leaked.
And polls showed Reagan losing to Carter. So using your logic you would have wanted Howard Baker or GHW Bush instead.
” Their world is getting a lot smaller and their ‘product’ will likely soon be available only in Cape Cod or Newport antique stores. “
NR needs to be printed on soft, absorbent paper, in rolls.
Probably loaned it to Michelle Fields before she went to Florida.
I don’t doubt you, but haven’t seen that NR was in on that. do you have a link or a source?
Long-timers will remember when Jonah used to post here and get into drunken, narcissistic, late-night posting rages.
