The National Review, a dying magazine that remains fatally chained to print publication and insider conservatism, has issued a "scathing" indictment of Donald Trump dedicating a full issue to stopping his candidacy. Over 20 conservative leaders have gone on record in the rag, pleading for anybody besides Trump. Let's talk about why that's ridiculous.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - The National Review, which does its best circulation on library magazine racks, and enters the archives in mint condition, has taken upon itself to audaciously attack the Republican front-runner, Donald Trump.
In an effort to slime their own leader, the magazine desperately, even pathetically begs, "Against Trump." Anybody but Trump. -- And probably not Cruz either.
The magazine's editorial questions Trump's conservative credentials, calls him a "huckster" and declares him to be "philosophically unmoored." The table of contents reads like an A-list of has-beens. David Boaz, Willion Kristol, David McIntosh, Rich Lowry, Ben Domenech, Erick Erickson, Yuval Levin, John Podhertz, Cal Thomas, Russell Moore...
So let's talk about being unmoored.
The American people are sick and tired of establishment Republican politics!
Nobody reads the National Review anymore because people don't like reading stultifying commentary from a bunch of ivory tower scribblers.
Case and point, let's look at issues. Let's start with abortion.
For over 40 years, Establishment Republicans have railed against abortion. They have pledged to fight it tooth-and-nail. Voters have done their part and elected Republican legislatures. We've given the House, Senate and presidency to Establishment Republicans time and time again. And despite casting so many ballots on this fundamental moral issue, we have more abortion, abortifacient, and other kinds of sexual immorality than ever before. Not less, but MORE!
So, National Review, forgive the voters when they decide to rebel against the FAILED establishment.
Let's look at illegal immigration.
Amnesty, amnesty, amnesty. Where are the deportations? There are now tens of millions of people whose first act in our country was to violate our laws, and yet we're talking about amnesty. Deportations are virtually unheard of. The buses should be lined up, jamming the border, but instead, they're nowhere to be seen. Yet, Establishment Republicans still have the audacity to expect our vote? To take our loyalty for granted?
Please.
Let's talk about spending. It's shameful when Democrats almost do a better job at cutting spending than Republicans. Republicans have not turned in a surplus in recent memory. Only Bill Clinton did that. Republicans keep "compromising" on budgets and allowing pork, from both sides of the aisle, to get signed into law on Obama's desk. Instead of standing up, Establishment Republicans lie down. But the voters are on to the game. They realize now the right wing and the left wing belong to the same bird.
Trump, and to some extent Sanders, are surging because they've both successfully cast themselves as anti-establishment candidates. Sanders is a self-styled socialist who talks openly about "revolution." Seriously? This is how disgusted the American people have become. As many as a quarter of the voters are seriously contemplating voting for a socialist.
We're tired of political dynasties. We want term limits. We want immigration enforcement. We want good jobs and the freedom to work and to earn a living without being punished financially for our success. We want government to stop micro-managing our businesses to death. We want morals. Let's stop killing babies, stop catering to everyone who claims to be "offended" or "oppressed."
We want freedom back.
The National Review is a mouthpiece of the establishment. By seditiously attacking the conservative frontrunner, they reveal that the Republican Establishment is so incestuous, they would rather see Hillary Clinton win than Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.
It's time someone put the National Review in its place - at the bottom of a birdcage.
