National Public Radio (NPR) turned to Never Trump pundit Jonah Goldberg on Friday morning to explain the implications of the decision this week by Rep. Justin Amash to leave the Republican Party.
Goldberg told Morning Edition‘s Steve Inskeep that Amash’s departure was “a sign of many of the symptoms he’s talking about,” including the increased partisanship of American politics — which, Goldberg argued, was ironically a result of the weakening of the traditional parties in the face of challenges by outsiders like Donald Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Amash, he said, reacting to the report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, which did not fit into the GOP’s partisan paradigm.

Jonah still pretending that the never-Trumpers aren’t the fringe group that they are.

Riight. That's exactly why Amash was being outpolled 2:1 by any high school dropout who out of nowhere would decide to run against him.

Hey, traitor Jonah, Justin "China" Amash quit the republican party because he would have been blown out in his primary. He's a coward, trying to protect his family's tool company in China.

Sorry, Jonah - - no matter how hard you try - - you'll never be the last NeverTrumper.
No possible way you can outlast Kristol, Will, Stephens, or Noonan. When the history of NeverTrumpism is written - - you won't even get a footnote.

Hey Jonah. When I heard that Donald Trump was running for the Republican nomination my first theought was that maybe Paris Hilton had something better to do. Then he won and I was looking at The Donald vs The Most Corrupt Woman On Planet Earth Since Imelda Marcos. Then he won. Since then he has continually fought to KEEP HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES. I have the God given freedom to CHANGE MY MIND about somebody. This particular Never Trumper is now a Go For It Trumper. This patriotic American completely blindsided me. Maybe you and your NR buddies should take a deep breath before you end up endorsing Slow Joe Biden.
Ooops Rant Apology.

Amash can always declare himself a Communist just like his Chinese masters. It might make him popular in some segments of society, but it won't get him re-elected.

If Amash declares as a democrat, his entire political life was a lie. If he tries to run as a libertarian or independent he'll lose. Any way he goes it's a win win for Michigan and America.

Thank you, #10. You speak for a lot of us. And yes, perhaps to the original Trump supporters we’re Johnny-come-latelies,“ but the point is that we’ve finally seen the good in President Trump and appreciate all the positive things he’s done. We’re fully on board.

Omygoodness. I am sorry L and Lstaff. Jonah is a putz. He betrayed conservatism to protect his cocktail party access. I don't wanna hear a Peep outa that guy's mouth unless it is:
"Turns out I was wrong. Our country was on the tippy edge brink of a communist takeover greased up by deep state election riggers, and POTUS Trump stopped it. It is still a deep threat. Support Pres. Trump. He is today's Reagan."

"There are none so blind as those who will not see."
Sorry Jonah. You need to step out of the beltway, breathe the fresh air if fly over country, suck in your pride, and come back to the truth. You don't have to be Trump's bff but you should at least acknowledge this nation is 100 times better off than it was in 2016 thanks to President Trump's vision, inspiration, and deeds. That would at least show journalistic honesty and integrity.
After 8 miserable years of Mr. Clean and Articulate, we are enjoying winning too much to listen to you.

FTA: Goldberg said, because younger conservative voters were “much more troubled by Trump” than older ones, “who already don’t have any friends who don’t agree with them.”
Older conservatives have no friends who disagree with them? And liberals of any age do?

If someone had told me ten years ago that Jonah Goldberg would be on NPR bashing a Republican president, I’d have called them a nutcase.
Ah, Jonah, we hardly knew ye....

It makes me said to remember how VERY much I used to enjoy reading Jonah Goldberg's thought pieces and how much I admire him, too. Sad for both of us.

Goldberg is a Never Trump Establishment Republican type. Amish is a member of a family that does its business related manufacturing in China, so could he have a special interest mentality. Once the American people find that out Amish may not have much political appeal.

Just- an- amash has 'appeal' alright...at Chicago's "Man Country" bathhouse, frequently attended by Barry A. Soetoro and Rahm EGIRLYmanuel...then Barry became Barack INSANE Obama...and two of his friends are found dead 'execution style' just before he was PUT IN AS SENATOR...and they want Trump's tax returns when WE KNEW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the KENYAN-born perp that almost DESTROYED THE USA. And now Barry's (and Michael) are 'almost a billionaire'?!!!!!! BALDERDASH.

Jonah's commentaries have gotten loony these days, which is disappointing to say the least. Maybe he needs to get out & about the country again as the lefty influence of the media swamp seems to be overwhelming his objectivity. ...What is he doing on the never-objective NPR anyway?! -Yikes!

Good heavens. What a joke.
Jonah probably invested in Pokémon cards and thinks the WNBA is great entertainment.
