Ah, now they want to “save us from ourselves.” Didn’t Hitler use a line like that? Anyway, Rothman clearly hasn’t seen the post-debate poll yet.
That is the dude who left hotair. He is so wrong. You’d think they would have learned by now. Gee if I get a polling call I am going to lie and say Trump.
So, I presume that the author really thinks that the establishment choice of the dumbest Bush EVAH....will result in a Republican President?
Actually, could happen, since JEB is simply Hillary light....and only slightly less ugly to boot.
BTW who would read this crap? Title says all.
Isnt Commentary some northeastern, tassel loafer Neocon rag?
Sure seems like it.
The other big gainers are Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz. So Trump appears to be having a positive effect in this race, considering that the MSM guns would be trained on our conservatives if he was not in this race to take the flak.

I really like Commentary Magazine and read it frequently. The author makes some good points about the GOPe not supporting Trump, but did not predict the increased poll number for Trump after the debate, so he’s full of it.
I think this guy Noah was at HotAir at one time. He’s an establishment to the core. He made AllahPundit sound like a Freeper.
Sadly, HotAir is now part of the Salem RINO propaganda network.
Trying to read this reminded me of trying to listed to Michael Mudhead on radio. He tries to drown you with words that don’t amount a pile of dust.
..the well of sympathy runs dry..
when we run out of gunpowder, wake me..
I’ll wail buckets for this po’ bastard.
None so blind as those who will not see.
...more viral waste being spewed across the nation...
I can just see them in a huddle going, well that didn’t work, it seems nothing is working, what are we going to do...if he wins, we are on the street like bums....
LMAO....I just love it....
> “There comes a time, however, when the case for the aggrieved Trump supporter ceases to be compelling, and the well of sympathy runs dry.”
Oui, Oui! Monsieur Rothman, I am in total accord Monsieur! It is a pity that our ...how do you say ...”well of the sympathy” is to run dry! You see there is a great triste ...eh.. soucier..eh...sadness that Le Donald must wait 16 mois ...eh ... months avant, before to take thee White Castle. Do you see how sad it is Monsieur?
Pardonnez moi pendant je crie sincerement!
This article is unmitigated claptrap. Your comment is very appropriate.
These people are desperate to make Trump go away so we can get to the main event: Bush v. Clinton, with Clinton winning.
To hell with that.
As far as I can tell, at least eighty percent of Trump’s support is support for closing the border. That’s an issue.
This may be an election where a crass populist with a bizarre concoction of positions that contradict each other (if given even a cursory glance) can win.
Fox news is doubling down by re broadcasting the debate at 8PM tonight.
Roger Aile$ must be a consummate gambler, he is risking losing more viewers and increasing ire over Megyn’s odious performance.
