National Review, in its issue dedicated to taking down GOP front-runner Donald Trump, has made a big mistake.

The poor man’s Ann Coulter.
The poor man’s Ann Coulter.
Great article. Thanks for posting it.
Read the article, she says that the main reason that other conservatives have been attacked by the NR is because of their opposition to the invasion of Iraq.
Essentially, NR is packed full of warmongering, open borders neocons who hate Trump because he doesn’t have to come to them on bended knee to beg for their money or support for his campaign. They are afraid that he may not listen to them when they start howling for the US to send more American men and women to die in the Middle East.
Good for Laura that she was not one of the ‘22’ holding the Inquisition.
Laura is smarter and nearly aways more astutue politically than the other talking heads who just pander for ratings/ad revenue.
Is she still a Christie booster?
I found it interesting that she admitted her own error, re: the invasion.
You’re getting pretty nasty there, Vet. Hardly. She’s the only successful female conservative (or liberal for that matter) radio host in the business. She has a VERY entertaining and informative radio program. Unlike Ann, she keeps her head.
And she likes Cruz a lot so what are you talking about?
Plus, she’s right about this. It’s not like some in that bunch haven’t been wrong before. NRO dumped Mark Steyn - that alone should show you that magazine has fallen way below its original standards. Not that I was ever much of a fan of it. No American Spectator, it.
She’ll be proven right or wrong quickly.
I’ll wait.
Your comment tells more about your agenda than about Laura.
Money quote from the article:
In the end, NR’s attempted hit-job on Trump won’t won’t matter much. Folks who like Trump will continue to like him. Those who don’t will feel reconfirmed in their views. One of the many reasons I loved Reagan is that he understood how important it was to grow the conservative movement.
“Conservatism,” Reagan biographer Craig Shirley said, “transcends any individual or organization, because it’s ultimately about the God-inspired belief that we are destined to be free.”
I’m a listener but I disagree with her assumptions
Here is my take;
There are dozens of examples Limbaugh could have used where Trump demonstrated during this campaign that he does not think or approach problems in conservative terms let alone understand them and is unable to bring them up.. But views challanges in a very personal way
From the campaign begining with the first debate. His legiitimate battles with Fox and Kelly. Trump goes on CNN following the debate to complain about his treatment .Alas where he could have cited how the press abused Palin as well as other conservatives. Instead must personnaly attack Kelly and brings up Kellys body functions. Which continues with opponents attacking misogny.
Trumps exchange with Jorge Ramos (Univision). Trump should have demand from him If he believes Mexico has legitimate claim to American states as well as bring up Mexican treatment of illegals. Then ask why should the US permit land ownership when legal American retirees cannot own land in their own name or vote there.then boot his buttocks out of there. Instead what does he do ? Kisses up to him and lets him go .The way the Mexicans are treating Americans reciprocity should be the issue and would dump the quote hispanic unquote krap
Then there is the issue where some UK politicians along with Islamists wanted to prevent him from even visiting Britan . Here he would have been saluted if he did this. Used the Brits expression to those phoneys; To Piss off and WISE UP pointing out the problems they are having rhere and chiding them for refusing to face reality. Instead what did he do ? Threatens economic retailiation.
. . What really sealed it for me was when Businessman deal maker Trump who also owns Goldman Sachs stock

Sided with the GOPES and even advocates expanded use Ethanol because he thinks it will help him carry IOWA . Which also begs the question of Just how heavily invested is he in Ethanol ?
Nasty seems to be pervasive on this site nowadays. I hardly recognize it anymore. People read a headline, or at most a paragraph of an article, leap to a (often erroneous conclusion), hurl insults first, and think later.
There’s almost as much venom for fellow conservatives as there is for the real enemy.
Last I saw her she was wearing a cross. She is terrific.
Spectator took the conservative mantel 25 years ago.
And there's been nothing but Neocons at NRO for at least that long.
Laura Ingram is nothing like Ann Coulter! Nice try!!!
It also delivers a serious reasoned spanking to NR editors in their alliance eastern RINOs who agree with NR editors on nothing else.
