It seems everyone on our side of the fence was impressed with Tucker Carlson’s video monologue on what’s gone wrong in America. But in Julie Kelly’s post she finds the reaction of NeverTrump folks like David French and Ben Shapiro to be decidedly negative.
Carlson’s Invisible Political Hand Riles Conservative Critics
Well, I’m not surprised. Tucker must be doing something really right to have the friends he does and the enemies also. Let’s hope he can help President Trump get his message out and start reversing some of the damage that Carlson has highlighted.
I read French’s column, though I haven’t yet heard Shapiro’s reaction. David French has become so noodle-wristed and ineffectual, his columns have become painful to read. He’s so insistent on vague “principles” that he maneuvers himself into a corner of ineffectiveness. His column about Carlson’s speech pretty much agrees with the underlying premises of Carlson’s monologue, but dismisses Carlson because he exaggerates a handful of facts. Talk about sacrificing the good to the perfect.
I think guys like French now only exist as a reminder of how you can lose your way. They’re always wrong. At this point if he became a Trump fan I would assume he was running a false flag operation. Tucker is getting a lot of attention. I’m interested in what he has to say next.
Principles – random thoughts that you remember for more than a week.
The funny thing about their principles is that they never seem to coincide with what Trump does. And yet he is doing what they said for decades they wanted to see. It can’t be.
Of course it’s not true. As Trump said he knows politicians, he bought enough of them. There have been two Presidents in my memory who have not been owned, lock, stock and barrel, by the political parties – Eisenhower and Trump. Ike did real good. The Orange Man is on the right track so far. Gives me hope.
Me too. And from such a bizarre source. Truth truly is stranger than fiction.
