Three years after outsider Donald Trump blew up the political world with his implausible victory over the consummate insider, Hillary Clinton, many establishment Republicans still don’t get it. From their elite cocoon, they continue to indulge the hauteur that put off ordinary voters who had grown tired of a fossilized political class that serially ignored their interests, and seemed more concerned with their own insider perks and privilege, rather than in repairing the damage that decades of bipartisan progressive technocracy had inflicted on the Constitutional order.
The grande dame of the disgruntled NeverTrump Republicans has been the Wall Street Journal’s Peggy Noonan, whose columns on Trump

Peggy Noonan?....Ugh !! The existence of a real deep state has been established. The only thing to do now is to identify every person who was (and is) involved in the coup attempt be identified and prosecuted for their actions. Indicting some "low" lawyer in the FBI ain't going to cut it. From what has been revealed (leaked) so far it sounds like we are in for another cover up ending just like the Hillary case. The "investigators will determine that the real guilty ones just did some sloppy work and didn't follow a few regulations. Remember Comey going on national TV and laying out a perfect case against Hillary but refusing to prosecute?
This is the big moment. If this country is going to survive the criminals must be indicted, tried, convicted and jailed for their actions.

Peggy Noonan is a member of a segment of the Republican Party which is all but non existent. That segment is now a part of the Democrat Party which has nowhere to find comradery.

Noonan is a hack. Always has been. She had a moment of overblown legitimacy as a "speechwriter" (I suspect Reagan was generous on that), and has been lamely playing that deck for over a generation. The WSJ frequently overreaches with their sponsorship/selection of Those Who Blab. Heaven knows she's one of those mistakes.

Some people sing in the shower. Peggy Noonan is the kind of writer who reads her own articles in the shower. Out loud. Loves the sound of her own written voice. Kind of a pompetous of political puffery.

I'll bet you rubes who voted for Trump don't drink Tea with your pinky stuck out at the "proper" angle! Do you drink tea? Ha! You are such ill informed losers...all of you being lowly farmers and pig sloppers! (From Peggy's mind). I don't drink tea and certainly don't stick my little finger out...EVER... Peggy couldn't even afford a farm in Iowa at 14,000 dollars an acre for land and $400,000 for a tractor and $1,000,000 for a combine! And a farmer must know how to fix his own equipment so a few thousand dollars in tools is helpful! The rest of us low lives live in what we call cities... I know you NEW YORK dwellers laugh at towns like Minneapolis/St Paul and Des Moines, Iowa. But between these two tiny cities there are more tech jobs for high skill workers than NY! Guess a lot of businesses decided to locate here rather than "The Big Apple"? Couldn't be crime and taxes could it? Put some overalls and rubber knee high boots on Peggy and come walk among us little people. You might learn something! I guarantee you one thing...NOBODY poops on the streets of Mound, MN! EVER! Or go the theatre to some meaningless play on Broadway with your "friends"... Lonley Spinstress if you ask me!

The insanity of the never Trumpers is as bad as the anti-Trumpers. The never Trumper faction wakes up every day expecting President Trump to "act more Presidential", stop tweeting, let the Democrats and media abuse him without a response... These things will never happen, but they keep getting the same result - which demonstrates their insanity. We love this President for so many reasons but among the best are the fact that he fights back (hard) and that he says what he will do and does exactly that. Promises made and promises kept. Best President in my lifetime.

Bruce takes Noonan apart, piece by piece, and the abilities of many foreign relations "experts" along with her. In government as in business, credentials, a resume and Ivy League education does not make a competent performer. The clear thinking and skilled negotiations of Donald Trump stand out from the elites that used to control Washington and I look forward to another four years of common sense progress for America.

If the choice is between people that bluntly tell the truth or oh so smoothly lie to my face, I'll take the blunt talkers any day. The State Department seems to filled with the latter.

All this time I’ve been wondering why Peggy still has a column. Now I know, it’s to give writers like Bruce Thornton the opportunity and inspiration to take her apart “brick by brick”.

Why does anyone care what this woman thinks and writes an article about it?
Peggy Noonan has become the elitist version of Joy Behar.

My thoughts? Peggy WHOnan???? She is roaming with Rove and waffling with Will. All the deep state AND obama holdovers need to be out of our government. Clean out the state department too.

This nutty old bag lady is long past her “sell by” date. I can’t believe the Wall Street Journal publishes anything she writes, or actually pays her for this drivel.

Peggy is the ruling class. I was amazed at how haughty the Dept. of State were. They did not come through on television as real Americans: one had an English accent, another a bow tie with three piece suit buttoned vest and an Ukrainian immigrant had the nerve of insisting on being addressed as Lieutenant Colonel by Mr. Nunes. Not one had spoken to President Trump. I will be glued to the television for the hearings for the replacement of the immortal RBG. President Trump has made US wealthy again, creating 11 Trillion in new stock market wealth. Best president ever. Donaldjtrump.com. MAGA2020KAG

FTA: "After three years of Dem calumny and dirty tricks, can we blame the Republicans for forgoing the usual preemptive cringe and vigorously contesting the blatantly partisan attacks?"
Republican Representatives did a great job in the impeachment hearing. Let's hope our Republican Senators will do just as well when their turn comes because I think everyone will be watching this one! The MSM might even put it on in prime time because of the ratings it will get.

I have loathed her and find her a pompous FAKE, since the day she bad mouthed Sarah Palin on a hot mic. This guy took her apart and it was right on point. I never knew there were so many full of themselves, fake conservatives and snobs in the conservative media until 0bama got elected. The masks came off and once President Trump won, it was game over for these people.

Miss Peggy is a want to be WASP... upper class old school clubbing Bostonian. She will never be that. Her snobbish bitterness at her middle class roots infects everything she writes. From that background she wants to invade, I love Trump. He is the man. My ego, self of worth, and social comfort can put up with him. You, Peggy?

I USED to read and enjoy Peggy Noonan's take on things, but in the last years she has become unbearable. Where in God's name does she come up with the "everyone knows...." business. Not a single one of those on the Schiff agenda could say that anything was actually said re: quid pro quo......it was only ASSUMED etc. I get the Journal and her column is the one I don't even bother with anymore.
