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.”

As with Trump's favorite verse in "Two Corinthians", this is the first time I've ever heard anyone call it "the National Review". It's like Trump doesn't really know if it's a magazine or one of those newsprint publications like New York Review of Books. I have to wonder if Trump has ever seen a copy of National Review at all.
This seems like a petty item to mention but it is increasingly part of a pattern of Trump spewing things out without appearing to know anything at all about them.
Trump: "Yeah, that Bible is the only book greater than my own epic bestseller. Being such a devout Presbyterian, I especially liked that story about the Two Corinthians and the Three Wise Guys."
It is a little surreal to see this orange tycoon being sold as the Great White Hope.

I seriously doubt that either Trump ,or most of the critics of the NR position have read the full issue. I haven't finished it yet . The objections I've read that lead them to oppose the Trump candidacy are well thought out . What I have seen in response is the typical knee -jerk, attack the messenger responses.

Again it is what Peggy Noonan used to call an echo chamber.
We see it on Blogs too. Everyone in their own echo chambers agreeing.
One only has to visit FR or DU to see it.
Maybe this site LF is one of the only sites out there where not everyone is in lock step talking to themselves.
How about that Stone. Now be nice to your population and stop the potty mouth. You have something unique here.
