National Review has gotten worse in recent years, flirting with the Neocon aberration. But even since about 1960, it has limited its Conservatism, by distinguishing itself from those Conservatives, whom were considered disrespectable in New York "Liberal" social circles. While I respected his intellect, and his having taken on the Yale establishment as an undergraduate, I always had the feeling that Bill Buckley allowed his acceptability as a debate opponent, among Manhattan pseudo-intellectuals, to govern how he reacted to certain other Conservatives.

Thus, this ridiculous disparagement of Trump, fits into an old pattern. It is too bad, because National Review has played a worthwhile role on many issues & fronts. But it has never accurately or fully defined American Conservatism.

“I can see Trump winning coal miners, unionized construction workers, auto workers, steel workers, Teamsters, etc.”

Ain't princilpled conservatives, puke, but they do vote and will vote for Trump.

Disagree with NR if you like but why denigrate their opinion as “a last dash, final “hail mary”? Is it the 4th quarter already? In January?

Why is it that anyone who doesn’t want to coronate this extremely questionable character is subject to ridicule?

I’ll remind you that zero votes have been cast yet. His majesty is yet uncrowned.

NRO’s unprecedented attack on Trump is just another dying gasp of the Uniparty.

Thanks for posting this. It’s one of the most cogent analyses of Trump’s popularity and most pithy descriptions of the GOPe’s failures and cluelessness that I’ve seen to date.

Doesn’t mention that the NR never bashed anyone pro-amnesty: W, McCain, Ryan,...
