I think he's all wet, and again he can't help but tell us AGAIN, right out of the gate that He will, "never fall in love with Trump."
Even though I posted this article, I'm suggesting that you don't waste your time reading it. It's high pompous @ss writing, that leaves you with not a shread of new understanding.
My advice to NRO, "Keep underestimating, undercutting and undermining the Trump presidency before it starts. Keep looking for your ideal candidate, now that your boys Cruz and Bush lost.
I'm predicting your readership and advertising revenues will be even less one year from now.
He, Williamson and French have destroyed NR. If it wasn’t for Andrew McCarthy and Victor Davis Hanson it will now be totally unreadable.
But where would FR be without NRO? Where would we go to comment on columns we don’t read?
If he got his way during the Primaries, Hillary Clinton would be the President Elect. That is all that matters.
Why would ANYONE care what this little twerp thinks about ANYTHING? Really!
I agree with your assessment of both Goldberg and his latest turd. Unlike the age of Øbongo, no one is demanding that anyone “love” Trump. As a keen matter of fact I have yet to hear a single person say that disagreement with him (Trump) is due to latent racism (as was recounted several million times with Prezzy Stompyfoot) ;’}
Everyone expects Trump to be criticized and even 2nd guessed - that’s the nature of politics. The difference was that the left tried to cut off any criticism of Øbongo with the race card.
Trump will do fine because he doesn’t need any crutches.
He is a pissant
NRO can disappear, we won’t miss them.
Conservatives are not emotional. They vote on principle. Trump was the most principledin his attack on the Establishment. Cruz was a close second. Cruz is no Bush. Yoking them together is disingenuous.
Goldberg and others are the writer versions of FOXED Me/again Kelly.
Goldberg was popular. So was Eric Erickson during his CNN years.
Some handle popularity well and others are Goldberg elitists with a hang over, hammering the public with their self righteousness and how wrong we are.
They seem to believe they should be treated as savants, when they are but prickly egotists.
Goldberg ran away from the Right. He will either sidle back or he will do a David Brooks and become a strident leftist n the employ of an MSM outfit as its official ConservativeDiversity asset.
Jonah, nobody is asking you to fall in love with Trump, any more than we FReepers could fall in love with Zero.
All we do ask is that you grant him the respect he deserves as your President, and do all you can to help him succeed, for when Trump succeeds, our country succeeds.
If you cannot find it in your heart to respect Trump, I can understand because I tried but could not respect Obama. However, just as I did, you can respect the Office of the Presidency.
When was Johan not a cuck? I can’t recall an issue he didn’t basically bend his knee in submission to the left over, or didn’t demand that to be properly conservative, we must limit ourselves to tactics of opposition that are well known and constantly proven to be utterly and completely useless.
Imo, he’s always been that guy hiding in his closet so he can watch the Dems screw his country.
I got about a paragraph into this apparent parody of leftist psychobabble before it just disintegrated into gibberish. I did get the vague impression that Goldberg thought it somehow helped him, so I guess it’s a defensive use of parody leftist psychobabble?
As if anyone on FR cares that he isn’t “emotionally invested” in Trump. We care than he goes out of his way to undermine him. He’s a creep and for a pompous a**hole, you’d think he’d take a bath once in a while. George Will does.
I didn’t think it was a bad article. It’s a shame he had to spike it with the quip about Trump. Why don’t neverTrumpers admit what the rest of us know, that Trump won in spite of them, not because.
Jonah Goldberg = #NeverTrump
Aside from Jonah’s admitting to not being a Trump admirer, the essence of this article is absolutely true.
I think it is a very worthwhile piece to read.
He is basically chastising all the liberal ‘snowflakes’ out there who are not adult enough to experience legitimate debate.
Just because a writer is not jumping up and down about Trump does not mean he is the enemy. There is no reason to believe that Jonah is ever going to be a liberal thinker.
