Former National Review columnist and unhinged Never-Trumper Jonah Goldberg recently claimed that small donors in the Republican primary were a problem “for democracy” and are “just venting their spleen” rather than acting strategically.
The pompous neocon told “Inside Politics” host Dana Bash,
“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.”
He then added,
“Now small donors are one of the biggest problems for democracy, for the GOP. Because small donors — 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.”
Jonah Goldberg just went on CNN and delivered one of the dumbest takes in his long career of dumb political commentary:
"Small donors are actually one of the biggest problems for democracy and the GOP."

Wow. That is an elite, inside-the-beltway view that is certain to be music to the ears of the Uni-party and the countless members of The Swamp/Deep State.
Rather it is big donors, corporate lobbyists, and wealthy individuals such as George Soros that have warped politics, crushed the middle class, driven the growth of (unrepresentative) government, pooh-poohed the Constitution—and assaulted the rights and freedoms of Americans in the 84% of counties in the U.S.—at minimum-- that voted for Trump in the past two presidential elections.

The only thing democratic about our form of government
is majority rules when voting.
Everything else considered "democratic" these days is a facade for tyranny.
Drifted? Intentionally driving your car off a cliff is not drifting.
False premise, false conclusion.
I gave my $10 to Cornel West. Is that what Goldberg had in mind? Now if only every hard-core republican would do the same.
Shut up, mama’s boy!

Bless his heart, his muse died to him long ago.
It has become quite apparent that wealth sovereigns must be prohibited from government and politics.
They’re too detached from the common man to be involved in their governance.
Whatever
A rejection of truth.
Understood.
Go Giggle, Jonah! It’s what you do BEST!!
Small donors = individual voters. Hence, voters are the problem. Got it.
You really hit the nail on the head with you assessment of Never-Trumpers, SA. This statement by Goldberg is emblematic.
A Democrat who doesn’t want people to to practice financial democracy ?
Guess they don’t REALLY like democracy....
Guess it’s just a con man narrative to parrot to the culpable.
Riiiiiiight Jonah.
And of course only the large donor strategic thinkers should vote too, right?
And how did we become one big uni-party scrambled egg?
Big donor control maybe? LOL
They think we don’t understand.
Over the years Jonah and his mom cratered compared to my expectations.
I remember when he and his mom were popular here.
Both spawned by the swamp, Jonah is the antithesis of Tucker. Someone should write a book.
TDS drove him mad, as it has countless others.
It didn't drive him mad. It merely drove him to drop his vapid "Conservative Inc." talking points, and expose his true beliefs.
