This week National Review, the leading conservative magazine
published an issue to bring to its readers attention Donald Trump
is not a conservative and warned he should not be the Republican
presidential nominee.
Leading influential conservatives, including Thomas Sowell, Andy
McCarthy and Cal Thomas all contributed Op-eds, sharing their
views on Trump.
However, it's hardly an occasion to stop the presses, this ain't news!
Its been well publicized Trump's opinion on issues have shifted over
the years. And, to the majority of people supporting him, including
many who are conservative it does not matter. Or, in Hillary Clinton's
parlance, "what difference does it make!"
Trump's supporters believe he is the only one who will solve problems
that politicians only talk about!
I don't recall the National Review advise its readers neither Bush were
"true conservatives", as their records of expanding the government
and restricting state sovereignty demonstrated.
And lest not forget, this is the same National Review which had no
desire to publicly criticize Republicans for capitulating to President
Obama on legislation the past seven years! No "special edition"
was published, so why does it believe it has a principled standing
to do this now?
The silver lining in what the National Review has done is that the
American people can see how Washington works, no matter the
political leanings. Influence is key and when it is threatened the
response is natural.
To have this contention system is healthy, and the American
people will sort things out. As we are responsible to do. And
Donald Trump's presidential run may be the catalyst to ensure
its done!
