National Review, conservative thinkers stand against Trump
CNN ^ | 1/21/16 | Dylan Byers

Posted on 01/21/2016 4:17:03 PM PST by jimbo123

National Review, the conservative magazine founded by William F. Buckley, will publish a special issue on Friday opposing Donald Trump's bid for the presidency, according to a source with knowledge of the issue's contents.

The issue will feature a blistering editorial that labels Trump a threat to conservatism, as well as essays by 22 prominent conservative thinkers from various ideological factions, in opposition to Trump's candidacy, the source said.

"Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot on behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as The Donald himself," the editorial states.

The issue, first reported by Jonathan Martin of The New York Times, comes as conservative pundits and GOP leaders debate which of the two leading Republican candidates -- Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz -- poses the greater threat to the party.

Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review, spent weeks reaching out to fellow conservatives, ranging from The Weekly Standard's William Kristol to RedState's Erick Erickson, to commission essays for the issue.

At least their principled. With Trump I haven’t seen people go so gaga over a candidate since Barack Hussein Obama.

It will not slow down Trump, but they have every right to publish what they want.

I am not voting for Trump because he is a conservative I am trying to save the Republic so we can argue on here for a few more decades
So excuse me if that hurts a few feelings. I don’t give a damn about your feelings just trying to save the Republic for which it stands!

In Rubio, Bush, Christie and Kasich they have their candidates. In other words, clear choices have been offered. Why are they complaining? They are upset that very few like those choices?
