Because it’s Powerline, ya dummy. I read them before I read FR.
If you aren’t reading PL and Legal Insurrection on a regular basis then you are a clueless old duffer. Sad for ya, really.
I used to read Powerline years ago but stopped when they started ragging on Sarah Palin as being a disaster for McStain, instead of recognizing that the only reason McStain did as well as he did was because of Sarah. The blog was just a platform for two RINO attorneys to pontificate in the same manner as their good buddies at National Scr...uh, Review, like Mr. Jonah. And sure enough, like clockwork, Powerline jumped on the hate Trump bandwagon when he came on the scene. It’s really important to remember well, and so few people do, who the Trump johnny-come-latelies are in the “conservative” blogosphere so you won’t get bullschitted by the many intellectualloid imposters who try to palm themselves off as insightful and knowledgeable masters of the universe.
