The Access Hollywood tape that broke Friday afternoon sent GOP elected officials fleeing from the Republican nominee over the weekend in a truly historic rupture. Trump’s odds of winning the presidency were already long before the airing of the tape. With a swath of the party now in open revolt, they are longer still.
We understand the calls for Trump to step aside. Almost any other Republican would have a better chance of defeating Hillary Clinton, a dreary and corrupt statist who is the Walter Mondale or Michael Dukakis of our time, yet is beating her desperately flawed opponent. But this would require Trump acting the statesman, which clearly isn’t going to happen (he has said he will “never” leave). Nor are House speaker Paul Ryan, vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence, or RNC chairman Reince Priebus going to mount the hard-ball pressure campaign that might make Trump consider the matter differently. Pence praised Trump’s debate performance last night to the hilt and Priebus has been eager all year to bend a knee to Trump. Finally, even if Trump wanted to step aside, the process of choosing a new nominee and negotiating ballot access for the party’s designee this late in the campaign would be unprecedented and perilous in the best-case scenario.

Deep within the WFBjr era. I don't think I subscribed much after that.
Ads were 99 percent B&W, of course. Conservative Book Club, for sure. Reid Buckley's speaking course. (Great guy, by the way.) A few SHTF guides and products. Some academic journals. A full-page ad with a headline something like: "The old MacGuffie's Readers were different--they were CHRISTIAN!" (selling the old version, of course). NR events, such as cruises, of course, but those don't quite count.
More will come to me, and probably you.
Everyone should “drop the NR Editors an e-mail! I just did. I asked them if they understood the letters “FO!”
Would any of the other 15 candidates have been comfortable appearing on a stage with the five women?
They would have been comfortable with Hillary Clinton.
National Review is the big donor magazine.
The Republican party has shafted the social conservative branch, the tea party branch, and the economic conservative branch since 1998 for the big donors. We need to take down the big donors.
Romney was a gentleman. McCain was thoroughly housebroken. Both lost. Gawd, how I have come to despise Nice Guys.
In Trump we finally have a man who will meet the Rats on their own ground and fight fire with fire. That's why the rank and file love him and have come to hate the faux gentlemen at the GOPe Country Club.
Just win baby. It's the Democrat way. And now it's our way, too.
I like Alpha males. I despise the Beta Males. Luckily many of the live in DC.
Deace tweets me once in a while then slinks away when i spank him
As I'm sure you're all aware, it's been 48 hours since the Huge News that Donald Trump said a woman had nice legs, and was "hot," and then made what was clearly a joke -- "I can kiss any woman I like. It's incredible. You can do whatever you want when you're star. You can even grab their pussy."
Rather than taking this as what it obviously was -- a hyperbolic joke which relies on exaggerating the truth to the nth degree for a laugh -- the Aspergers Right has chosen to take it literally, that Trump is really out there grabbing on women's mishes.
Gee, I hope the Aspergers/Low T right has never read this site when we talk about hot woman. You know, when we make all sorts of Rape Threats and Assault Threats like --
- I'd bang that like a screen door during a hurricane.
- I'd hit that so hard that whoever pulled my dick out her mish would be crowned king of England.
- I'd hit that so hard that I'd succeed in doing what no physicist has ever accomplished --splitting the vagina atom.
That last gem from Empire of Jeff.
Gee, does the Aspergers Crew at National Review think that Ace of Spades readers are actually burying themselves like Excalibur in she-stones, or hittin' that shit so deep that new subatomic particles are birthed?
I don't even think you can actually split the Vagina Atom without use of an electron boring scanner -- maybe National Review should report Empire of Jeff for threatening to use a laser on some poor woman's womb.
So get ready to hear the Social Justice Warriors of the Aspergers Right go [*expletive deleted*] bananas tonight.
As usual. As they've been doing now for a full year.
But it's not getting tedious having to listen to these shrieking unhinged she-men hissing and fainting all over themselves yet again.
Nope, not tedious at all. The stream of fainting-couch hysteria babbling out of their shrieky mouths is just so much background music for the rest of us by now.
When Trump is PRESIDENT....bitching and whinging and moaning about that, won’t keep those cash cows funding this group of lefties.
That wasn’t the same Bill that started the magazine, nor who was on T.V., way back when. He changed through the years and became useless.
It already HAS attracted many more b lacks to Trump’s side. The other day, on BizPac, there was a post with black men saying that they are now full on voting for Trump, because of this. I agree...re Hispanic men too.
KaSICKO is a brain dead IDIOT!
NR forgets or just never mentions that Hillary is tied to that aircraft carrier anchor homosexual from Virgina who adds absolutely zip to her campaign. Voters see Pence and say, " yeah, he could step in if need be" People look at Kaine and want to take a shower. Mrs Clinton has poor judgment
Exactly. We gotta get what we’re up against. Nice guys finish last. Like Mittens. Of McLame. Don’t be like them. Be like The Donald.
Way back, in the ‘60s, I told my mother that the GOP had to finally take off the damned white gloves. She was a white gloved GOPer and looked at me in horror. I was right, she was wrong ( which was probably the ONLY time she ever was, re politics ! )and chewed me out...in a very ladylike fashion. Oh well, thank GOD she didn’t live long enough to see what’s going on now; though I miss her every single day.
They need longer pearls to clutch
Their knickers are in such a twist
Cancelled my subscription several years ago.
I sure haven’t missed anything.
This should be the Deplorables new manifesto. A thing of beauty:
A moral duty to insult liberals The way I see the last several decades, whenever the Stupid Party wastes effort on class, dignity, and manners, the Evil Party rams it right up their hineys.
There are things that are so bad that one has a moral duty to say terrible things about them at every opportunity. Liberalism is one of those things. That duty is more important than class, dignity, or manners.
It is long past time for decent people to wake up and realize that when dealing with scumbags, civility is nothing but a self-imposed handicap.
After a hundred million innocent dead in the twentieth century, no liberal is entitled to the slightest consideration, courtesy, or civility. Liberals should be reviled, abominated, spat upon, even beaten, whenever they have the gall to show their faces in the presence of decent people.
We act wrongly when we pretend that liberals have a right to a voice in human affairs. We act wrongly when we fail to excoriate them for the horrors they have wrought, and those they still lust to wreak.
When a human being appears in public with a liberal, at a political debate, for instance, he should preface his remarks with a statement to the effect that the proximity of the liberal is causing his gorge to rise and his flesh to crawl.
It is not humanly possible to say anything sufficiently critical and insulting about liberals and liberalism. Indictment, trial, conviction, sentencing, and execution would be insufficient punishment for their crimes against humanity.
Human beings arise! Computer science will allow a tyranny so complete and horrible that it has yet to be imagined, unless these loathsome swine are stopped.
I guess no one ever heard of Chippendale's.
