22 conservative leaders come out against Donald Trump
MSN News ^ | Jan 22, 2016 | Josh Katzowitz

If you thought the Republican establishment was finally getting used to the idea that Donald Trump could become the party's nominee for president, the National Review would like to set the record straight.

That's because the conservative magazine, according to CNN, will release on Friday an edition in which it declares that Trump is a threat to conservatism and that it officially opposes his candidacy. Included in the edition will be 22 conservative voices who have written essays to describe why Trump is a bad idea for the party.

Calling them conservative and/or leaders might be a slight exaggeration. The list includes Glenn Beck, Mona Charon, Erik Erickson and others.

It’s a bad title..

The real description is in the body of text.

“Included in the edition will be 22 conservative voices who have written essays “

It is not possible for Donald Trump to disappoint and betray my trust more than so called “Conservatives” have done.

The National Review is a “conservative” magazine? Not since Bill Buckley retired and died.

These are not Conservative Leaders. Several are not even Conservatives. Pathetic that they could not get enough Conservatives and had to include Glenn Beck and Billy Kristol.

Don’t laugh to hard....22 writers will be burning up a lot of bandwidth with story after story after story.

There will be denial, denial, denial.

But it won’t be a river in Egypt.

Let the games begin! The prelim is over.

By whose definition are they considered ‘conservative’? By the elite media or a group of bow-tied, loafer wearing, self-proclaimed ‘guardians of conservatism’?

How do you define conservative? “Free trade” destroyed American jobs and industry? — have we got global interventionists in there that want to go bomb sovereign nations that haven’t done squat to this country? Have we got “conservatives” that paid black Democrats $15 a vote to vote in the McDaniel primary in Mississippi to put their pathetic geezer puppet back in as Senator. I’m sick of these bastards . They can crawl in someone else’s hole. This is OUR PARTY NOW!! GET THE HELL LOST!

Donald Trump is the great Satan. Every effort must be made to defeat him.

There is a new paradigm ruling this election, it means the DC pundits are no longer controlling who we vote for! Those passe writers will be basically unemployed by this time next year by the Macy effect. Where rectums find themselves no longer in demand from the impact of raw capitalism, the Macy effect. There will be no demand for their words, the Macy impact.

How an Obscure Adviser to Pat Buchanan Predicted the Wild Trump Campaign in 1996 the new paradigm where we select our presidential candidate not Ivy League losers in the beltway.

Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again?

What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs?

What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price?

What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America?

What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals?

This is great! All this kind of attack will do is give non-conservatives “permission” to vote for Trump and increase his base.

Many “conservatives” will remain convinced they would rather have 4 years of Trump than 4 years of Hillary, and that 4 years of Trump can’t be any worse than the last eight years of Obama. Liberals will be able to vote for him with a clear conscience, and explain to their friends, look, he’s not a REAL conservative.

A win, win. These people really are playing checkers.

National Review is a heck of a lot more conservative than Donald Trump. That’s for sure.
