My largest problem with TWS is that they backed politicians who could not be counted on when we counted on them. And while they could not stomach Trump, they could stomach Mexico, China, democrats and RINOs.
TWS had great writers who could come up with rational for any policy that their big donors wanted. But when it came to average Americans, TWS generally sided with (not always agreeing with) the elites.
Trump takes a different style to the Issue. He fights, he doesn’t just argue in an obscure magazine. Trump fights China, Fights North Korea, fights The UN committee on Human Rights, fights Russia, fights Mexico, and fights the swamp. Trump is the most actionable president in my lifetime. Reagan is the only one close. Its like the different between Janitors and Contractors. Trump knocks down and builds anew. Bush would apply WD40 or a new coat of paint. Obama would just give a speech.
The weakly standard was obvious agitprop by trotskyites pretending to be republicans. No one in their right mind would EVER read that crap.
