Unkind, I know, but scarcely inaccurate. Here are the National Review’s editors, dumping on Trump re immigration:
“As for illegal immigration, Trump pledges to deport the 11 million illegals here in the United States, a herculean administrative and logistical task beyond the capacity of the federal government. Trump piles on the absurdity by saying he would re-import many of the illegal immigrants once they had been deported, which makes his policy a poorly disguised amnesty (and a version of a similarly idiotic idea that appeared in one of Washington’s periodic “comprehensive” immigration reforms).”
That’s right. Driving 11 million people out of this country isn’t wrong, isn’t disgusting, isn’t reminiscent of Hitler’s fulminations against the Jews, nothing like that. It’s just very, very difficult. Even worse, he’d let some of them back in! Some racist!
Over and over, the “passionate” editors sweep under the carpet the things that they really hate about Trump—his promises to protect Social Security and Medicare and his disdain for the Republican Party’s compulsive addiction to foreign wars—issues that, if confronted, would force the Republican Party establishment to admit that they have lost the confidence of the voters they claim to lead, that in the eyes of the rank and file, the party elders stand for fraud and failure.
There is no health in Donald Trump, but there is no health in the Republican Party either. And that’s why he’s winning.
