Rarely do we get to see a man’s dignity leave his body in real time, but on Tuesday night, there was South Carolina senator Tim Scott, clapping along as Donald Trump hurled insults at Nikki Haley, whom he had just defeated in the New Hampshire primary.
At one point, Trump turned the microphone over to aspiring Trump best friend and professional irritant Vivek Ramaswamy, who claimed the former president’s win Tuesday was “America First defeating America Last.”
As Ramaswamy, who quit the race before Haley, accused a woman who has spent her adult life in public service of being “America Last,” Scott happily cheered, basking in the moment.

In fact, Trump’s now-unstoppable run to the 2024 Republican nomination is an inversion of everything we claim to hold dear in America: namely, the idea that the good guys win and the bad guys lose. For centuries, our social order rested on the basic premise that dignified behavior will always triumph — that justice will always go hand in hand with righteousness.

And since his election, Trump has done nothing but expose just how spineless members of the GOP are. Keeping their political futures alive is more important than, say, treating the people who got them where they are with basic respect.
In order to play in Trump’s party, one must support his daily barrage of lies, pretend he is once again fit to be president even if he is convicted of a felony, and ignore his reprehensible behavior toward women and minorities.

“everything we claim to hold dear in America: namely, the idea that the good guys win and the bad guys lose.”
umm, no, and you’re a bit over dramatic in your writing.
Question...
What is your goal? To save the United States?
Or refuse to work with someone you just don’t like, and let the United States go on losing freedoms.
If a personality keeps your attention. And losing this country ls unimportant..
I remember the day Castro was on TV.. Riding onto town, in a convertible, top down, in fatigues, crowds following and cheering.. Batista had been defeated.
Within a few days, Castro made an announcement.. He was a communist.. All weapons were rounded up.. Taken.. He took control of all property. And turned all schools into state run schools.
Those who could, fled to the US.. Many not making it.
You think it can’t happen here. Think again.
Trump is your hope
. No one else could take it on and stay sane and healthy.
Freudian slip?
A comment that, I fear, will fall on deaf ears. The GOPe crowd is selfish and, in many ways, more dangerous than the leftists. They aren’t opposed to statism, only statism that doesn’t have them in charge of dolling out the goodies.
wow! is NRO ever butthurt!!!
I stopped reading when John Derbyshire was fired.
This, however, is just as bad:
accused a woman who has spent her adult life in public service
"Public service"? Holding elected office ceased to be "service" to anything other than the office-holder's bank account a long time ago. A career in politics is invariably a bad thing.
Furthermore, I can understand her world vision since she was our representative to the (Commie run) United Nations
but, I understand her beliefs to be more of a Globalist philosophy.
So, how many times has she gone to the Davos Switzerland consortium run by unelected, self important, WEF (World economic Forum) ?
Christian Schneider provides more lies and distortions in every sentence than you would find from a straight left-wing perspective from the Democrats and progressives. Poor William F Buckley Jr. is gyrating in his grave.
“This article richly deserves a barf alert.”
You are correct. It does. My apologies. I’ll try to remember the barf alert next time.
Thankfully, I have performed one of my twice a year check-in’s at NRO for the year. I only have one to go. Hopefully, Trump will win in a landslide in November and I’ll enjoy the visit a bit more next time.
Does anyone think this author would have written the same article regarding Scott and Ramaswamy if they had dropped out and then endorsed Haley with glowing words? They criticized her as well in the debates and in media interviews.
I suspect in that case he would have praised their willingness to “bring the party together”.
We're looking at YOU, Christian "NRO FagBoy" Schneider.
The Hill is better than National Review? Where is Rod Serling?
Quikkie Nikki
Poor little National Retards.
That's a fact.
Keeping their political futures alive is more important than, say, treating the people who got them where they are with basic respect.
That's a fact as well. GOP scum talk a Conservative game to get elected and then crap all over the voters who fell for their lies (again).
That aside, the author is a derpstate step'n'fetchit. Fag, too!
