I’m not fan of Trump. I think he’s much more liberal than most here believe. However, this sort of comment doesn’t advance the argument:
“I, on the other hand, find him tedious, tacky, and trite. He’s a bore who overcompensates for his insecurities by talking about how awesome he is, often in the third person.”
I’m pretty sure Jonah and most of the folks at National Review wouldn’t feel comfortable around me and my family. I’m also pretty sure I’m more conservative than the NRO crowd.
I wish Jonah could have gotten past his style comments and focused simply on things like:
“Trump: You have to give them a path. You have 20 million, 30 million, nobody knows what it is. It used to be 11 million. Now, today I hear it’s 11, but I don’t think it’s 11. I actually heard you probably have 30 million. You have to give them a path, and you have to make it possible for them to succeed. You have to do that.”
As it is, nancy-boy Jonah has probably created more Trump fans than anything else. He doesn’t get it - many of us don’t WANT Jonah’s admiration! If Jonah admired us, we’d be ashamed of ourselves!
I agree that part of Goldberg’s commentary was unnecessarily snarky.
