Jonah Goldberg argues that Donald Trump is no conservativeāand he is disappointed in conservatives who support him.
He singles out my Breitbart colleague John Nolte, who has tweeted effusive praise of the way Trump confronts the media.
I wish Goldberg had noted some of Nolteās other writing, expressing skepticism of Trumpās positions. The argument Nolte is making, to borrow a phrase from Bill Kristol, is less āpro-Trumpā than āanti-anti-Trump.ā
But let us assume that Goldberg is correctāthat Trump is no conservative. Would it follow, then, that it would be better to let a Democrat win than to see a President Trump?
Presumably notāunless Trumpās ego is a bigger threat to our Constitution than Obamaās power grabs.
Yet there would likely be more opposition to a President Trump than to Obamaāpartly because some conservatives dislike him. The media would also re-discover their āintegrity.ā
It seems apparent that a President Trump is, at least, a real possibility. The reason is not just his huge lead in GOP polls, but also his growing cross-party appeal.
In recent days I have been approached by several liberal friendsānot particularly political peopleāwho disagree with me on everything, but like Trump. And not just in that oh-I-could-vote-for-Jeb-Bush kind of way, which is really just another way to say they dislike Republicans.
They are serious.
