Why You Should Read National Review’s ‘Against Trump’ Edition

Lets see, one of the many “blizzards of the century” is slated to hit the eastern seaboard and Washington D.C. today. Not only that, but the political rhetoric, usually slow over a weekend has just been jacked up into warp speed. The National Review, headed by Rich Lowry, has published a special edition of the magazine solely dedicated to Donald Trump.

And wouldn’t you know it, before the National Review had a chance to publish, the interwebs exploded into finger pointing, blame, and Twitter tantrums – Donald Trump style.

For months, Republican leaders have worried about how to stop 2016 frontrunner Donald Trump. Now, one of the conservative movement’s most influential publications is taking matters into its own hands.

National Review is dedicating a special issue of its magazine, one week before the Iowa caucuses, to stopping Trump. “Against Trump,” blares the magazine cover. Inside, a blistering editorial questions Trump’s commitment to conservatism, warning voters that backing him is tantamount to allowing the conservative movement to have “fallen in behind a huckster.”

“Trump is a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in favor of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones,” the editorial reads.

Goodness gracious! Bless their hearts! Opinions are being formed before anyone, including this writer, has read any smidgen of what the National Review published at 10 PM eastern time last night! The Twitter reaction prior to publication is kinda fun to read:
