The Access Hollywood tape that broke Friday afternoon sent GOP elected officials fleeing from the Republican nominee over the weekend in a truly historic rupture. Trump’s odds of winning the presidency were already long before the airing of the tape. With a swath of the party now in open revolt, they are longer still.
We understand the calls for Trump to step aside. Almost any other Republican would have a better chance of defeating Hillary Clinton, a dreary and corrupt statist who is the Walter Mondale or Michael Dukakis of our time, yet is beating her desperately flawed opponent. But this would require Trump acting the statesman, which clearly isn’t going to happen (he has said he will “never” leave). Nor are House speaker Paul Ryan, vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence, or RNC chairman Reince Priebus going to mount the hard-ball pressure campaign that might make Trump consider the matter differently. Pence praised Trump’s debate performance last night to the hilt and Priebus has been eager all year to bend a knee to Trump. Finally, even if Trump wanted to step aside, the process of choosing a new nominee and negotiating ballot access for the party’s designee this late in the campaign would be unprecedented and perilous in the best-case scenario.

They wanted Yeb!, not because he could beat illary, because he couldn’t, but because if he accidently did, he would keep the borders open and the laws unenforced.
The most important thing to the establishment has always been to keep the Cheap Labor Express running.
Actually I suspect at the NR the thing being soiled is diapers, not britches.
Absolute waste of time reading this crapola.
I've been told by my wife that women can get pretty lewd on occasion when there are no men present and adult libations are available.
Just read Free Republic. Everything in the world worth reading is posted here faster than you ever consume it all.
Steve Deace makes National Review seem almost non-psychotic. He wants America punished for turning its back on Jesus Christ. (AKA, Ted Cruz.)
Almost any other Republican would have a better chance of defeating Hillary Clinton,
NAME JUST ONE PLEASE!!!
Mr Trump whooped ALL OF THEM, He is Our Guy!! Not yours, you sniveling, winey, quisling marxist rat bastards.
I stopped reading before WJBjr departed. I can only recall “ads” more like notices of some event or NR back issues.
Would you happen to recall those ads and if they were post WJBjr?
I have seen it first hand, Men are Choir Boys compared to the way Females talk amongst themselves.
There are a lot of groups on “our side” who profit more from the democrats being in power than republicans. We need to change that to when democrats are in power, they suffer.
Beg your pardon. My mistake, partial mistake anyway.
Checking the Nation Review web site it seems that they have started taking ads
I agree that none of the 15 other primary candidates could beat her either, but John Kasich will claim to his death that he “could have been a contender.”
National Review was hijacked by Neoconservatives back in the 1990s and has been a Globalist mouthpiece ever since. I finally dropped my decades-old subscription after William F. Buckley died and my loyal sentiments were buried with him. The old stage-managed “Conservative versus Liberal” battles have been upstaged this year by a death match between Americans and Globalists. Donald Trump has exposed the enemies in our camps.
But almost no Republican would ever dare to actually publicly call her out on her lawless corruption. So far the only Republican to call her out is the one the GOPe wants to drop out.
STFU, you irrelevant RINO dinosaurs! You and the GOPe are caught in the tar pits of history, and like your RAT counterparts, are too stupid to know it.
I wonder how these douchebags make money with no subscribers.
My experience exactly. NR was too snobby and snotty to actually fight the leftists.
Comic relief.
That’s all the national review is anymore
The elite GOPe mahogany clubhouses must be very dark these days with sinister hand wringing as members journey through the 5 stages of grief.
Can’t allow outsiders to interfere with inside-the-beltway corrupt politics-as-usual.
