It does make a person wonder... Does Andrew C. McCarthy ever look around at the mess the country’s in and ask himself if (maybe, just maybe) he hand his fellow conservative elites have dropped the ball?
I just think he, like Levin, is a staunch conservative and believes the solution(s) to most of the issues facing the US is to elect staunch conservatives. And like Levin, I believe he is utterly sincere and there’s nothing he is really saying about Trump that is not true. But (also my opinion) the American electorate that is not dedicated to securing for themselves the same kind of spot at a lesser feeding trough and interested in restoring Constitutionality to the nation realizes that they cannot rely upon any candidates “sales brochure”. They elect the self-proclaimed conservative, they get to DC, and they are hijacked or bought off. They are tired of electing lying s**theads who conduct this Kabuki theater of pretending to be conservative. They see the elevation of overt criminality to the highest offices in the government and they are tired of paying for it.
There never, IMO, were enough conservatives to really derail 0bama’s Marxist anti-American agenda, I would not say they’ve “dropped the ball”. But they see a point of no return here, with the infinite immigration and infinite spending. Maybe they are very wrong supporting Trump, I can’t predict the future.
