Bill Kristol, Jonah Goldberg, Jennifer Rubin, George Will, Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, Liz Cheney and the rest of the Bush-Cheney-McCain-Boehner-Ryan-Romney-McConnell Viche RINO neo-con arrogant sanctimonious elitist ruling class cabal just can't help politically ideologically shooting themselves in the head .. It's in their elitist ruling class Fake Conservative Neo-con Republican DNA

The only thing worse than an anti-American Socialist Marxist Leninist Communist Democrat is a the GOP Bush-Cheney-McCain-McConnell-Murkowski-Boehner-Ryan-Romney-Kinzenger-Kasich-Kemp-VICHE Neo-Con RINO rat-shit Traitor who allies with Communist Democrats against their own voting base constituency, against their political party and president.

"The three of them were now free to plummet into new depths of unpopularity together. The most intellectually bankrupt and vitriolic of the Never Trumpers had finally been thrown into the dustbin of history." Priceless writing Emerald!

This is the most revealing insight into the evidence on the downfall of National Review with Jonah Goldberg and David French in their starring TDS roles selling us out to Big Tech. Extraordinary.

This explains Ann Coulter's past 4 years of NeverTrumpism...and now her sudden lurch to the Left. Ol Gal is getting PAID, is what it seems like. Makes total sense.

The Weekly what? The cruise ship magazine run by Captain Krystol?

Like much of the GOP, Conservatives, Inc. has a price and many have sold their souls.

Big Tech and the Dems play checkers, a game of annihilation, while the GOP plays chess, a game of maneuver, which the feckless GOP thinks is the same game since it is all played on the same game board.

The Long March Through the Institutions continues, the Gramscian Damage accumulates. If you had any doubt, the debacle in Afghanistan proves that point. We can no longer fight a major war, and our enemies know it now.

The GOP THINKS it is fighting back because its leading members truly do not understand what is taking place. A few do. Most are there in D.C. only to build generational wealth, and in that they are successful.

In my humble opinion, Jonah Goldberg & Rich Lowry have been Deep State Never Trumpers. Really enjoyed you article, isn’t it disgusting how people revert to personal attacks against anyone that doesn’t revere their every word. Emerald, I commend you for your reporting and journalistic integrity.

I stopped reading NR articles after the execrable Milo Yiannopoulos hit piece. I didn't like what Milo said about underage sex. But he was NOT encouraging pedophilia. He was telling about his own life. The hit piece, primarily driven by Goldberg and NR, was terrible. I just wish Victor Davis Hanson would stop writing there. He gives the magazine a patina of credibility it does not deserve.

What you say about Conservative Inc's think tanks and magazines applies equally to most supposedly Conservative politicians. They are more than happy to help manage the decline of our Republic as long as their prospects don't get dimmed in the process.

This is so sweet! Schadenfreude on steroids. To think that NR (and the sadly pathetic WSJ editorial page) was my introduction and education in conservatism. I even subscribed for over 30(!) years, and stopped the day I got the anti-Trump issue. I used to respect those guys so much, and now couldn't respect them less. Now I know they lied to me for years, and pretended they were actually conservatives. What a joke, and everyone who doesn't suffer from TDS knows it.

I gave up NR when it went NEVER TRUMP in 2015.

The Trump intermission has allowed the conservative base to take a hard look in the mirror and sort the soldier from the traitor. This article may be the seminal moment that separates the conservatives intellectuals from the leadership of the movement. Thank God if so. This article is groundbreaking.

Any conservative with working brain cells could tell the NR just like the Heritage Foundation sold it's soul to the left years ago. I was a member of both groups until the lies and dribble coming from their newsletter smacked of narcissist just like the Democommies. Patriots we are surrounded by commie enemies in DC. Don't trust any of them.

Their influence at Fox News (especially on Bret Baier's show) explains quite a lot.
