He’s suffering from the same malady of irrelevance as Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, Hume, Will, et al. They as the former guardians of conservatism really turned out to elitists who rarely ever got out into drive-by America to see what was really happening.
They sat on their asses behind their keyboards and in front of TV cameras on Sundays (sometimes nightly) and expelled that same old flatulence year after year talking like they really knew something. It turns out all they really knew is what they’d learned from each other.
Right on target about the elite “conservative” commentators. Earlier this year, I read a column by a Trump hating columnist from National Review in which he expressed a strong wish that the white working class die out. This reminded me of the 1980 Republican convention where Michigan governor Milliken was head of the Bush delegation for his state and he complained about the Michigan Reagan delegates having truck drivers among their ranks. We can do quite well without these elitists, let them go over to the Hollywood and Brie, Wall Street crowd. Trump has shown them for just what they are.
