There are no pure conservatives. But for once could we nominate a candidate who comes from the conservative wing of the Republican party? I mean is that too much to ask after a lifetime of Rockefeller Republicans? Except of course RR.

Most people don’t read the NR, and I’ll be willing to bet that most never even heard of it. So, it will actually have little negative effect, but it could show once again, that Trump is under attack by the republican establishment, which will increase support for him.

LOL! NRO is not even close to “pure conservatism.” Glenn Beck? Russell Moore? Bill Kristol? What a joke.

It’s odd how NR’s critics can’t agree on whether NR is promoting “fake” conservatism” or overly-pure conservative “ideology.”

I continue to be undecided and I really don't feel that my one vote will do anything to influence the primaries. I gave money to Cruz in his senate battle and he has not disappointed me since he went to DC and stood for all he promised, even when everyone was slinging mud at him.

I will naturally promote and vote for the person chosen to run against Hillary, but comparisons like this give me pause about the feverish atmosphere surrounding Trump that seems a lot like what we witnessed 8 years ago.

“Watters said Trump has qualities beyond conservative ideology that make him appealing as the eventual GOP nominee.”

So what this goof is saying is that we don’t need to worry about principles, because we have a deus ex machina who will fix all of our problems with a simple wave of his pompadour.

And we skeptics the naive ones...

Agreed. And first of all, NR is almost all NWO globalist neocon all the time. All of the 22 authors have been just fine with the 3rd world flood. But for the sake of argument.

Before any conservative vs liberal fights, the border MUST be secured. Without that, the rest doesn’t matter because the influx will vote for liberalism.
And anyway, there is nothing conservative about the open borders Bush era.

Message from the NR polemicists:

Please don’t derail our money train while we sell the country out.

What great ideas for reform have these globalists at National Review offered in the past fifteen years? They grump around at the edges, but they are all globalists and open borders, all the time. They are pro foreigner and could care less about America or Americans.
