In typical establishment fashion, National Review editor Rich Lowry has announced that the conservative magazine is prepared to burn the house down to spite Donald Trump if he receives the Republican nomination.

When Lowry appeared on Fox News with host Howie Kurtz, Kurtz asked him,

    “I understand the National Review represents a collective decision but you also appear on television and give your own opinions… Bill Kristol, for example, yet of the Weekly Standard, says there’s no way he could support Trump and he would actually support someone running from the right as part of a third party. Could you see yourself going there?”

    Lowry responded, “Again, it totally depends. We need to see the way Trump runs and how this field breaks out. It’s a very odd year. There may be a third or fourth candidate in this race and if there’s someone close to what we really believe, that’s going to be very tempting for us.”


What do you think of the possibility of the establishment breaking off to support a third party candidate in the event of a Trump nomination?

Yes Bill Buckley would love you voting for HRC and the GOP siding with Democrats on the Omnibus Bill last December.

If you are a "conservative," then I'll gladly disassociate myself from the current "conservative" movement.   :seeya:
Trump has created a cult and looks more and more like Hitler every day.

Hate Trumps voters that much do you? You are aware that term "Neocons" refers to those who were/are disaffected Rats who moved to the Right on issues, much like the folks Trump brags about that are supporting him today.

(BTW, it is also a derogatory code word usually aimed at bashing Jews, but I know you are certainly not doing that.)

I am against bigotry.  I am against demagoguery.  I am against the debasement of the office of the Presidency.   I guess you're right, Carling -  both of us can't possibly be conservatives.     :seeya:

Neocon in some circles is a code word for Jews.   The graphic depicted a Nazi-style "iron eagle".   The sharer of the graphic is perhaps our most prolific Trumpster.

Draw your own conclusions.

He also posts from white supremacy, anti-Jew/Israel sites.

I do not identify with the modern usage of the term "conservative" anymore either.  The so-called conservative movement is dead with very little to show for it. 

People can debate the reasons for that for years, but the fact is that the term has been hijacked by rigid ideologues, shysters, Elmer Gantrys, radio announcers and apocalyptic profiteers.

We told you Trump would win - bigly!

Is he constipated?
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Another case of the "media" violating its 1st amendment protections.
They should be held accountable for fec violations should they follow thru with this.

Nice political suicide NR. Buckley would be ashamed of you. Third party runs in the US for National Office fail 100% of the time. That is an act of childish spite and ego and you all know it.

Bill Buckley said "vote for the rightwardmost electable candidate".

Currently leaders of NR shows us their hand as just another part of the GOPE machine

The problem is too many people worship the presidency as if it represented an American monarchy.

Our founding documents elevate the individual, not the president who is only a temporary steward heading a temporary government.

Patriots love our country, not our temporary government. And patriots fight wars and die for our country; not for a temporary collection of men, or for the latest political government.

Don't mistake opposition to bigotry and xenophobia as support of the "GOPe machine", whatever the hell that is.   We're real Americans and real conservatives who reject Trump's ethnic nationalist poison.

The other big fail point is they all think in terms of this election cycle.

People  in the "Conservative Media" are writing checks with their mouths , and columns, their careers are not going to be able to cash.

Elections end but this sort of behavior is a career ending move long after the elections end. Voters do not look fondly on people who play games to thwart their will. NR might want to check the careers ends of Chaffee and Crist if they think this is "a threat"  It not a threat, it just objective poltical reality.

NR is all ready whining about the sharp  dropping off subscription rates. Doubling down on poltical stupid is not going to help them. The 7 members of the "Hate Trump Always" squad around here are not going to make up for the thousands who are crossing them off their list.

 Your threats are as empty as the cliched phrases you use, over and over.

This is a stop-Trump movement. And it is gaining momentum and you don't like it. Tough.  Even if Trump wins the nomination, he is not going to win the presidency and, for me, that's all that matters.  He cannot be allowed to take over the GOP for his nefarious purposes.  The man was advocating BREAKING THE LAW last night, for God's sake, with his ridiculous assertion that the military would kill innocent women and children on his orders! 

And you follow him like a poodle. There is only a 35% plurality of you right now, enough to win primaries but not the Oval Office.

Trump will be stopped, like it or not. And his political career will be over.  Trumpism will be killed in the cradle, and the country, and the world, will be much better off.
