National Review is most certainly NOT big media in my book. Their "Against Trump" issue showed me that.
I tend to think of these people not as trolls, but as "concern ninnies" who are trying to protect some haughty sense of a lying duplicitous false 'conservative RINO' ESTABLISHMENT. They didn't like having their applecart upset by pissed off American voters - primarily because THEIR rice bowls were ALWAYS brimming over in DC, NY or wherever the hell those fools live, pretending to be conservatives - or Americans.
THIS! is the face of NR for me, and anybody that pretends to be or think like me or flyover America by writing for that electronic do-rag. Go tell somebody stupid enough to believe it.
One should never always EQUATE not wanting Trump to be the GOP nominee with not wanting him to be President AFTER he becomes the nominee.
Those are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
Sure, there are NeverTrumpers in National Review ( Kevin Williamson comes to mind ). But Most of those who did not want Trump to be the nominee in February 2016 VOTED FOR HIM on November 2016, and are OBJECTIVELY looking at his Presidency and hoping he does the right thing.
Mark Levin for instance did not want Trump to be the nominee... but after he won the nomination, he endorsed Trump over Hillary and to this day, wants Trump to succeed, but is never a lackey or a sycophant for everything he does.
