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.
One should not assume that losers’ tacit support translates to support by any means. What it means is that ‘protected existences’ by so-called conservative elites are threatened.
‘Objectively looking at’ doesn’t translate to support and a willingness to let this President succeeds. It smacks of smarmy dogma. And we denigrate ourselves and our positions to pretend like venues such as National Review have any genuine intentions and good will for us all to make things better. I know better.
Sure, whatever.
Trump’s ‘Buy American, Hire American’ Policy Is Dangerous Nonsense
