...about the National Review anti-Trump issue and the schism it reveals among rightbloggers. It's sort of like the schism in the Republican Party, only instead of quotes from some guy at a Trump rally we have quotes from people with websites and, in some cases, budgets, which do not necessarily make them more coherent.
UPDATE. In comments, Yastreblyansky refers to one of the NR "Against Trump" contributors I didn't quote, William Kristol. Kristol's rhetorical linchpin in this case is "in a letter to National Review, Leo Strauss wrote that 'a conservative, I take it, is a man who despises vulgarity' ...Isn’t Donald Trump the very epitome of vulgarity?" Yastreblyansky has the bad taste to remember what Kristol was saying about "vulgar" Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin some years back. It's amazing that someone so willing to say any goddamn thing as Kristol yet remains the wrongest man in the world.
