The ossified GOPe Ivory Tower types are doing two things here:

1. They are acknowledging the inevitability of Trump's bid to be the GOP nominee.

2. They are inoculating themselves in the event that he screws-up, so that they can say 'I told you so',
censure him, or even take the lead in an impeachment process.

As the band ‘The Chocolate Watchband’ sang, “I’m not like everybody else!”

I was raised to be an individual.

I was educated in the ways of critical thinking and analysis.

My father instructed me to, “learn the English language well enough, to know when a politician, in all of his words, is lying to you.”

Therefore, when I state my support, for a cause or a person, it is after careful examination, and not ‘from the herd’.

National Review Squanders Its Legacy; Disdains Founder Bill Buckley's Advice

Many of us who are historically minded have talked long before this election about how the GOP has become the 21st century version of the Whigs. So Nolte’s comment about the delivery mechanism was especially interesting. One (not the only). Reason the Whigs died was they were in the 19th century using election practices that went out 30 years earlier.

This article is a load of BS.

Isn’t it amazing how Trump has exposed the neo-conservatives among us? True colors are showing through the fascade. Fun to watch them “bravely” come out of their closet.

Nolte absolutely nailed it. The whole thing is so 1892 it is pathetic.

If these dino/rino's are so clueless that they need a print mag to get out this Grade B horror shriekfest ... none have a platform better than print, or the infrequent CSPAN pre-8am Dem v Rep knob-in. They're not smart enough.

In this election cycle, the dumb are going to get eaten. And those that barely manage to avoid that fate? You're going back to the back of the bus...
