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.

When I think of National Review I think of William Crystal. I've never liked him. I don't like his arrogant condescending tone he always talks. His slow talking bullshit.
I can't believe Dan Quayle had that clown working for him.

I can. They probably played tennis at "the club" often.
We wonder how some are raised to power and how some who would not even qualify to work a fast food drive thru run large corporations.
Big connections and old money goes a long way.
If we think Trump will destroy his own kind, we are fooling ourselves.
I believe Trump would go after his enemies if elected and they are all rich too. If he wins it will be a battle of the rich elite.
There will be casualties but that elite won't go away.
The only "good" from a President Trump would be the death of the pandering politicians. If a rich guy can run and win without the political apparatus then the party system is toast.
If this proves to be true, perhaps the two party system dies for a time.
Yet this also means a rich guy did it and we will be beholden to him.
Most folks know the above and don't care. That tells me how desperate we have become.
