Donald Trump won a convincing victory in New Hampshire. We congratulate him, and hope that we will not have to do it many more times.

Time for another 5,000 word essay from the NR editor on the virtues of gay marriage!
No way - it’s my candidate or nothing!
NRO came out of their safe spot?
He’s won one primary, he ain’t “our candidate” yet.
LOVE that quote!!!!!
They’ll just say the disclaimer is....he can’t win.
See how that works?
Since NRO was never a conservative out let,that’s pretty funny

National Review publication of the collective anti-Donald Trump missives from 22 self-appointed conservative potentates has caused quite a stir in Republican circles.
The nationwide responses range from, Wait, I thought National Review went out of business years ago, to Ed Meese? Seriously?
The Gang of 22 have officially become parodies of themselves. One would have to reach back to the days of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew to lift an adequate quote to describe them.
Nattering nabobs of negativism, vicars of vacillation, pusillanimous pussyfooters, the decadent few, ideological eunuchs, the effete corps of impudent snobs, or the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history- take your pick, because they all apply about equally well to each and every one of them.
So clueless is the Gang of 22 they can not even see how they have stumbled right into the narrative Trump has been communicating so successfully for months. Just like the elected officials from both parties, the Gang of 22 has been GREAT at complaining about stuff, year, after year, after year.
But getting anything accomplished? Not so much.
Many of the Gang of 22 have been hanging around and chattering for decades, and some are active cogs in the Conservative Entertainment Complex, deriving their income by pandering to conservative anger while offering no real solutions.
Donald Trump represents a threat to these ineffectual poohbahs in the same way he represents a threat to do-nothing public officials.
Jealousy is also seriously at work here. Trump is inspiring and exciting a broad spectrum of the country like no member of the Gang of 22 ever has, or ever will.
In just seven months of campaigning, Trump already has more Americans listening to a Republican message than the entire Gang of 22 could muster over decades.
Trump understands that before you can advance the ball, you have to convince people to take time from their busy lives to listen. No one on the GOP side since Ronald Reagan has accomplished that like Trump.
Oh my! Common Core graduate, supporter?? Maybe math and statistics are not your strong suit. I sincerely hope you are not a classroom instructor. Unless this was sarcasm....I’m trying to give you an out here.
Bernie had one other candidate !!!!! Give it a rest!!!!!
You beltway weasels have trashed the Conservative brand.
When they interview people on why they like Trump the word Conservative does not even come up. It’s becoming a pejorative with certain voters.
Yinz can all thank Boehner, McConnell & Co. for that.
Kidding me? Most I read and heard were projecting Cruz in 5th or 6th, 4th being best case. All behind Rubio and Bush. Cruz came in third, much better than expected. Trump came in right at projection.
The outlier is Kasich at 2nd, never to happen again
“I thought the mantra of NRO “conservatives†was to “support the most conservative candidate that can win.—
Ah yes, the “Buckley rule”. The key word in that rule is “conservative”. It doesn’t apply to non-conservatives.
to them you can add Nate Silver, Frank (looney bird) Luntz, and most everyone at FNC to the list of the BIGGEST LOSERS from last night!
Our definition of “conservative” obviously differs. At its most basic, I define a conservative as one who wants to preserve and uphold our Constitution, which embraces individual sovereignty, private property rights, and limited federal government.
Trump is for universal healthcare (socialism), increasing the ethanol mandate (government picking winners and losers), punishing private industry for not doing what he wants (moving jobs oversees to escape overbearing government taxation and regulations), and using the power of government to enrich himself (eminent domain abuses). None of these positions are consistent with commonly accepted definitions of conservative.
Trump is a populist who may be electable, but he is not a conservative.
Yeah that is kind of confusing. I should call it Nat Review Online rather then NRO.
I am an American not a Globalist of the GOP Eletist.
| Some even believe we [Rockefeller family] are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - One World, if you will.If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it |

National Review can blow it out their Illegal loving, send jobs overseas, Traitorous a**
