Trump will ruin the work of the conservative movement, so says the writers of the National Review. Fifty years of conservative journalism, staunchly defended in the The National Review, have vehemently spoken out against the GOP front runner, Donald Trump, as being a populist.
The cover reads, “Against Trump” and lays out the opinions of 22 prominent conservative contributors who believe Trump is a “a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot in behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as the Donald himself.”
In a lead in editorial, the publications warns that, “Trump is a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in favor of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones.”
Due to the strong elements in this publication, publisher Jack Fowler reports that they have been “disinvited” from co-hosting the GOP debate on February 25th. This was expected, according to Fowler, saying it was a, “Small price to pay for speaking the truth about The Donald.”
But, then Fowler gets wind of the cancellations coming down the pike and his tune sharply changes…check it out on the next page:
Who conducts the polls and how do they determine who to ask.
I will add Trump’s statement “I can shoot someone in the street and not lose a vote” he’s is saying what people want to hear and turn around and continue the Obama legacy.
Yep
In my opinion as a Republican, We need a candidate to restore our country! Not 4 years of the same c**p.
Why would intelligent people vote for arrogant, crazy, yelling, out of control, con man, dirty business man, dealing with shady people, friends for benefits with the Clintons, who thinks he is above the law, is this presidential material? HELL NO!
Looks like the people are getting through to some of the press.
How sad, too bad, oh well never mind!
John: you and others aren’t getting it. This time around we’re not looking for complete conservatism. We’re looking for a strong leader and one that will enforce immigration which is contributing to many of our other problems. We don’t need a Sunday school teacher or a minister or an expert at the Bible. We need Donald Trump who will make America great again. problems
Trump will make Barry look like a choirboy!
Trump’s NOT “conservative”!
Cruz has been fighting the DC Cartel since 2012. Cruz’s conservative record of fighting for our values and defending the Constitution in the senate, in front of the Supreme Court and as the Solicitor General of Texas is unassailable.
Trump has ZERO record of Constitutional conservative values. In fact, let’s look at TRUMP’s record:
>Trump is on record as being pro-abortion, pro-partial birth abortion and believes we should continue to fund planned parenthood
>Trump is on record as saying he would force Apple, a private business, to make their computers in the US
>Trump is on record as saying he would raise the mandatory wages paid to H1B immigrant Visa holders
>Trump has been a registered Democrat for more of his adult life than a Republican
>Trump was for single payer health care before he was against it
>Trump is the ONLY GOP candidate to donate MILLIONs to the Democrat party and the Clintons
>Trump’s hotels and buildings employ illegal immigrants
>Trump claims that he is the solution to politicians taking special interest money, yet he freely admits he has been buying off politicians on both sides for decades
>Trump was FOR a ban on “assault weapons” before he was against it
>Trump was FOR “more extensive” background checks before he was against them
>Trump is on record as saying Hillary was a terrific SOS and would make a great president before he said otherwise
>Trump makes a living borrowing BILLIONS from foreign investors, foreign banks and wall street investment firms to build buildings – yet claims that it’s the other candidates who are on the hook to their corporate donors and foreign money.
>Trump wants to detain American citizens and legal residents who have broken no laws, without probable cause, and deport them without due process of law – simply because of their religious affiliations
>Yet Trump was FOR taking in Syrian refugees in September 2015
>Trump supports government seizure of legally owned private property via Eminent Domain
>Trump wants to be commander and Chief of the US military and didn’t know what the Nuclear Triad is
>Trump wants federal troops to surveil and raid places of worship without probable cause or due process of law
>Trump is on record as saying he questions whether or not Israel wants peace, and says that Israel should compromise with Hamas terrorists in Palestine
>Here in Virginia – Trump donated $25,000.00 to Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s campaign in 2012, but ZERO to Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate with an excellent conservative record.
>Trump claims to be self-funding his own campaign, but there are 2 active Super Pacs out there spending millions of advertising for him, and a big red “Donate” button on the top center of his Home Page
>Trump is on record saying his sister (a liberal judge who is pro-abortion and pro-partial birth abortion) would make ‘phenomenal’ Supreme Court justice
Mind you – None of this is speculation or unverified conspiratorial illuminati / NWO nonsense. This is on the record fact. Reasonable minds can debate whether this is the record of an authentic conservative, or that of a big government liberal using right wing rhetoric to convince people that he is one.
Seems pretty obvious to me, but I’m just one guy. Support who you will, and God bless you; I will never insult or bully you – but I am a conservative. Trump is just not my guy.

There’s two kinds of conservatives. There’s fiscal conservative’s and their social conservatives. However, we are not looking for a conservative as much as we are looking for somebody who strong on immigration. Donald Trump is the only one that is truly strong on immigration. Everybody else is parroting what he said first.
