Conservative Magazine Hits Trump

No doubt much of the stampede of Republican voters toward Mr. Trump is based on their disgust with the Republican establishment. It is easy to understand why there would be pent-up resentments among Republican voters. But are elections held for the purpose of venting emotions? ~ Dr. Thomas Sowell

by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: National Review, a respected publication founded by William F. Buckley, Jr., is widely read by conservative activists and intellectuals in Washington. Today it released an extraordinary edition with dozens of articles by conservative leaders explaining why Donald Trump, in their view, is not a conservative.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether this will have any real impact on the race. The latest CNN poll in Iowa shows Trump opening up an 11-point lead.

The Cruz campaign is skeptical of the poll, as am I, taking comfort in the fact that when you limit the results to regular caucus-goers, the race is essentially tied.

So we are back to the great unknown of this campaign: Can Donald Trump inspire new people to show up on a cold, blustery night in Iowa for what can be an intimidating caucus process?  We will find out in nine days.
