Trump Fans, It’s Time for an Intervention
NRO ^ | July 11, 2015 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 12/19/2016 10:58:07 AM PST by nikos1121

Dear Reader (and those of you with better things to do), There have been times in the past when I’ve gotten crosswise with certain segments of the conservative base and/or with the readership of National Review. And, because, like the Elephant Man, I am a not an animal but a human being, I have always had at least some self-doubt. That’s as it should be.

People who share principles should not only hear each other out when they disagree; they should be able to see each other’s points and hold open the possibility that one’s opponents have the better argument.

Maybe you just like him. On that, we can respectfully disagree, as there is no accounting for taste. Perhaps you just like his musk and the way it assaults your nostrils, which is fitting, given his line of cologne. Fine.

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. JONAH CAN'T STAND THAT. YOU SEE THE NEXT TEDDY ROOSEVELT AND ALL I SEE IS SOMEONE WHO TALKS BIG AND CARRIES A SMALL SCHTICK.

Please note the date of this article. I repost this,only because, Mr. Goldberg, hasn't stopped. IN fact, he has another sour grapes article today in NRO on how he's going to hold Trump article etc etc.

Not one paragraph, not one sentence on a positive note about the man and his campaign. This guy is almost as bad as George Will.

When this @sshat intellectual penned this article, I was certain in my mind that Trump was going to win.

Anyway, I digress. the article is further proof, that we don't need NRO or the other pundits telling us anything.

This crypto-liberal dope pollutes every “conservative” outlet
he wheedles his way into - Salem\HotAir, NRO

Trump’s ascension was a repudiation of his ilk but he just doesn’t get it

They care if he is tedious and trite. Everyone else cares if he builds the wall, replaces Obamacare, fixes our trade deals and eliminates the radical islamic threat

Actually, it's time for Johah to drink up. No one wants to hear his crap any more.

Whether Goldberg is right or wrong there was no other Republican running who had any chance of accomplishing anything at all besides being a polite goat for the Democrats.

Hey Goldberg. No one cares what you think.

Think about that.

No one cares.

I have had no use for National Review, the Weekly Standard or any of their idiot writers since they made it clear that preserving their club was more important than preserving the nation.

Meh, Jonah owes his career to a dress stain, easy enough to just dismiss him.

Jonah joined Peggy Noonan and Krauthammer on my list of “don’t bother to read” columnists awhile ago.

I do not think he is “confused” or “misguided” in his views. I think he is deeply, deeply dishonest about his true political views.

One good thing to come out of this election is National Review, Weekly Standard, etc. have been exposed as completely irrelevant.

If it’s all about EGO with you, Jonah

You must have been REALLY BUSY the past 8 years and from 1992-2000

Somehow I doubt you penned similar thoughts

What a loser you must be. Bitterly childish.

There are still some good writers for NRO. Freerepublic helps us find them

Kind of shame to see Goldberg so unhinged about Trump. I've got his book comparing liberalism to fascism he published several years ago, and it makes a lot of sense.

He seems to have lost his gourd where Trump is concerned.

Victor Davis Hanson is the one exception that I know.

His drop quote in the article effectively states that Trump is wrong on everything by default; and Trump individually becomes ‘unwrong’ when Jonah deems it so, on a case-by-case basis.

This man is an @$$.
