On the Saturday broadcast of “Justice” on Fox News Channel, GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump called in and discussed National Review, who published a so-called anti-Trump manifesto entitled “Against Trump.”
“Well, it’s a failing magazine, you know that. It’s been failing badly, and they’re getting some publicity,” Trump said of National Review.
He later added, “I can only say this — the National Review is a failing publication. It’s not going to be around long. And they’ll get some publicity. A lot of the writers think it’s going to help me more because people are tired of the negativity from these people. All they do is talk, but they don’t have solutions to anything, and so I mean, I’m fine with it. I’m not going to be reading it because I don’t read it very much anyway. But a lot of people don’t read it anymore.”

NR is an echo chamber. Everyone listening to them were already supporting another candidate like JEB! or Rubio.
So what does this NR outlash do? Nothing to Trump's primary numbers. Nothing at all. It just makes his supporters dig in more like an Alabama tick and then draws attention to how powerless the party elite is.
What real effect is there? NR is basically coming out and admitting Trump will win the primary and they the elite will support Hitlery. She will take their money.
The party PACs are wasting money millions of dollars to take Trump down. No one is listening.
Best advice for the GOP is stop eating their own and let the candidates campaign and the people vote.
That is a good description of what Tomder does to me.
Tom is pointing out that poisoning the well only goes so far.
Is Trump right on most of his positions and statements. I believe he assesses our landscape and peril well. Yes I agree with most of what he says with regards to immigration, terrorism and national security.
However I seriously doubt he can do anything about the things he, you, I and others rail about.
Is his allure that we are all fed up? Yep.
Is Trump saying things we are thinking and have been thinking for years? Yep.
Can he deliver? I have serious doubts.
So I am clear, if it is Trump vs. DemonRAT Trump gets my vote.
