NATIONAL REVIEW DUMPS ON TRUMP

Who gives a crap about the National Review? Who even reads magazines anymore? When the girlie mags stop publishing, that’s when you know the writing is on the wall. Penthouse recently stopped publishing, Hustler will soon stop and Playboy doesn’t have naked pictures anymore. If people don’t want nudie mags, who the hell wants the National Review?

The National Review put out a manifesto, I guess you would call it. The entire issue was a collection of essays from various conservative writers explaining why Donald Trump should not be president. Why he is not a conservative, why he is not a Republican. If you vote for him, you are not a real Republican. That’s what 22 conservative writers said about Trump.

Notable names included Glenn Beck, Brent Bozell, Bill Kristol, Michael Medved, Erick Erickson and Dana Loesh. Who are these people? In Republican circles they are a big deal. In terms of actual influence, I’m not so sure. What candidate have they supported that has gone on to win? I’m not talking about local races, I’m talking presidential elections.

You may not agree with everything Sarah Palin says or does. I don’t. But one thing she is spot on with is that Democrats would never to something like this to one of their own candidates. They would never launch a campaign to destroy their frontrunner. It would never happen. Sure, you might see favoritism, but you would never see 22 Democrats write essays for a Democratic magazine with the sole purpose of destroying Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. Democrats would never do that.

Never in history has this been done. Regardless of what you think about Donald Trump, you cannot deny the enthusiasm and excitement surrounding his campaign.
