Trump has already tweeted encouragement for it, making the 391-page book an Amazon presale best-seller.
They have fought him for three years, establishment conservatives dubbed Never Trumpers who view President Trump with disdain and disgust.
But in a new book that pulls no punches on Trump, the wilting Never Trump movement is declared dead, marginalized by GOP supporters who see the president as needed medicine “to deal with lethal tumors of the status quo.”
What’s more, in " The Case for Trump," out March 5, author Victor Davis Hanson concluded that Trump has united the Republican Party like few before him and is in better shape going into the 2020 re-election campaign than were recent presidents including Barack Obama.
“In counter intuitive fashion, the provocative and often off-putting Trump proved to be a far more effective uniter of his party than had any prior elected populist maverick,”
analysis of the Never Trump movement. Hanson calls it an equal to the liberal “Resistance,” and said both have fallen flat as Trump has kept his GOP support at 80 percent by boosting the economy, making good on trade and foreign policy promises, and attacking the “swamp.”

VDH is one of the best things to come out of Tucker Carlson’s program. Everything the man says is smart, and he’s very modest and persuasive in how he says it. He’s the kind of guy can actually bring more independents and even moderate democrats into the fold.
Well, I carefully neglected to read the article before commenting. Apologies; I’ve heard some i’views with VDH and he likely has plenty to say about this topic.
An FR tradition of long standing. :-D

If President Trump does not win,God forbid,truly dark times will fall upon America.
VDH is about the only good thing still around at National Review. Well, except maybe McCarthy. With Goldberg gone maybe NR will go back up in quality. :)
When the Dim leftist media quotes National Review and Weekly Standard as "authentic" conservative outlets, you know you're doin' sumthin' wrong. :)
Just ordered it through Alibris, Hardcover cheaper than AMAZON
