Former National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg claimed Thursday that small donors in the Republican primary were a problem “for democracy” and “just venting their spleen” rather than acting strategically.
“Small donors in Iowa are more important as an indicator of grassroots support than anything else. But I also think we’re dealing with a time where there’s a lot of people, there’s a lot of cheering and self-congratulations about the rise of small donors a decade ago,” Goldberg told “Inside Politics” host Dana Bash.
“Now small donors are one of the biggest problems for democracy, for the GOP. Because small donor — large donors actually have a strategic view about moderation, who can win, who can’t. Small donors really are just venting their spleen with their credit card, and they lock candidates into positions that can hurt them in the general election,” Goldberg added.

It just confirms to me that they hate us. He pretty much says that they used to have need for the actual voters and their money and vote. Now they have the big money donors and the deep state to fix the elections so we are no longer needed.
Really CNN? Remember when it was the Koch brothers were ecil and destroying democracy with their large amount of donztion money?
These frigging socialist totalitarians.
They say “Our Democracy” but they mean Cosa Nostra.
Jonah Goldberg believes corrupt power hungry ‘elties’ like Biden and thugs should make the calls for their own benefit - and ‘to hell with American citizens.
Jonah has the heart and soul of a Nazi...
What a low life.. stuck on stupid, but, I bet he has a high IQ.. just a pure evil heart.
He could say the same thing about letting the little guy vote at all.
Someone ought to replay a tape of this to him and let him respond to what HE said.
He had that one good book, made money and then quickly sold out.
It is absolutely amazing how easy it is for humans to sell out.
Jonah...shut up !!
You are a certified Du.b Sh.t
Lucianne is rolling over in her grave.
Unfortunately Conservatives tend to be easy marks for grifters.
“Lucianne is rolling over in her grave.”
There are a lot of long gone true conservatives rolling over in their graves.
What a total scumbag Goldberg turned out to be. Class A scumbag.
Losing Rush Limbaugh was a big hit for our side.
Some guys can’t be replaced.
Rush will never be replaced.
Not the Bee.
Yeah. I was out today, time for radio, thought: “what’s the point Rush is gone?”
Somehow he managed to stabilize the hard times in the US.
Are we to have an aristocracy?
Goldberg is like a lot of these guys, he had a captive market as the supposed “edgy” far-right.
Then when a real populist right came along, these guys looked like the cucked fags that they are. Alt right anons on Twitter, as well as Trump, showed people what the authentic thing looked like.
They destroyed the economic niche of Goldberg etc. And Goldberg hates Trump forever for it.
So now the best they can do is a role-play as reformed sinners, denounce Trump, and shill for the Regime.
