Nancy Pelosi’s fecklessness has ensured that Americans understand impeachment to be a purely political matter, and as a purely political matter impeachment is as dead as your leftover Christmas turkey.
Only a few days after the impeachment vote, President Donald Trump hit his best job-approval rating ever in the Quinnipiac poll. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell is ready to slap the process around like a housecat tormenting a sparrow. The magic bullet missed, and now Democrats have to make a more ordinary case against Trump.
The problem is: They don’t know how.
The case against Trump in 2016 was that he is unfit for the office.

The scalp wax is seeping into whatever you have in place of a brain, Kevin. Shouldn't you be out renting a trailer?

Give it a rest, Kevin. But before you do, name one president in the last century who has been more successful than President Trump. I loved Reagan, but PDT has beat him in keeping his promises and fighting for average working patriotic Americans.

The words failure and Trump will never belong in the same sentence. Williamson is just another bore from National Review with an inflated opinion of himself. Trump has bested all of them and they can't stand it.

The title grabbed my attention, so expecting some kind of tongue-in-cheek ironic twist, I read the whole article. (sigh). And I’ll never get that wasted time back.

Kevin Williamson Isn’t a Writer. He’s a Frigging Imbecile.
Lowest unemployment rate in years, especially among minorities. Highest holiday sales in years thanks to the tax cuts. And that wall would have been up already if not for histrionics by the Democrats (Taco Barbie beating the fence with her hands complaining about kids in cages-but there weren't any!). But even an imbecile like Kevin Williamson has to eat too, so if a rag like National Review prints inflammatory crap and they pay for it, he can order cheese with his whine.

When you talk about failures, how about the Democrats who have been trying 24/7 to sabotage Trump’s promises and political agenda?

This is what happens when sniveling, whiney, holier than thou cowards get a degree and can string high brow words together coherently. This piece is garbage, just like Mr. Williamson’s flavor of politics.

I used to read NR religiously, but I’ve given up on it for the most part. A few days ago they published a column purporting to deride CNN but whose real purpose was to attack Fox News as being on par with CNN. What “conservative” does that?

This is why real Patriots hate the modern NR — most of the writers and editors are unworthy of the legacy of WFB.

Didn't this jerk call Melania a hooker in 2016? The never Trumpers are trying to impress their MSNBC pals, seems to me.

This article is why I don't click on NR, ever. Some fellow LDotters have criticized me in the past for stating this. Wonder what they think now?

I find NeverTrumper tears of frustration and rage to be so delicious in the mornings.
And, gee, right after the NYTwits' dog-whistle column about "diminishing" Trump as a way to defeat him that ran earlier this weekend. Journolist much, Kevin? Ever had an original thought?

Conservatives of good faith may have had legitimate reasons to oppose Donald Trump during the Republican primary. However, to continue opposing him after he secured the nomination was to help Hillary Clinton become President. Sensible conservatives would not have done that. They should have cut their losses, folded their Never Trump cards, and followed the Buckley Rule.
Instead, Williamson and the rest of the Review Crew pushed all in on three bad bets. First, they expected Trump would fail to win the nomination. Then they expected him to lose the general. Lastly, they waited for President Trump to betray his conservative supporters once in office. They were wrong on all three and forfeited their credibility as a consequence.
What intrigues me is why Kevin Williamson keeps doubling down on such a dumb bet. The easy answer is that he is an idiot. After all, he gets big things wrong, writes stupid, self-destructive articles, and appears to be incapable of learning from his mistakes. However, I don't think it's that simple.
I no longer believe he is a good faith conservative. I think he is a guy who made his living pretending to be conservative, and Trump called his bluff. I think he keeps upping the ante on Never Trump because he can't afford not to. What use would we have for a professional conservative who professed so many erroneous opinions? Ask Stephen Hayes and the rest of the "formerly of" boys at their new venture into subscription-based, on-line Never Trumpism.
Williamson's not a conservative. He is a failure. He failed to understand anything that mattered in 2016. He still refuses to understand President Trump or his supporters. And he continues to betray his claim to be a conservative by opposing the most conservative president since Reagan.
Time to fold, Kevin.

This is a trial balloon for the challengers to PDT, in the primaries and the general. He is a "failure"...okay, whatever. See if other "true conservatives" don't pick up the meme as primary season approaches. If not, it's on to Plan D or E or...

There’s some truth here, but our system is always the choice of the lesser of two evils. So, give me Trump, hands down.

It takes a real idiot to not see all the winning that Trump has been having, in spite of 24/798% Fake News Enemedia lies, and "conservatives" like the NR stabbing him in the back continuously.
