Let The Rehab Begin!
The unthinkable is starting to happen in all the whiter neighborhoods of Wingnuttia: they are beginning to realize that short-fingered vulgarian Donald Trump (thanks Spy Magazine!) isn’t the base’s summer fling with fascism that they thought he was; maybe he’s here to stay?
(AP Photo/Seth Wenig)What is really telling about Trump’s staying power is that no matter what horrible, hateful thing comes spilling out, his approval rating goes higher. As we’ve noted before, Trump reflects the Republican Base, he’s not a symptom.
And so now Y’all Qaeda is trying to come up with a way to rehab/reframe him because if he’s going to be the nominee, they need a way to explain their support for him.
Enter the National Review’s editor, Rich Lowry, the man who saw starbursts when Sarah Palin made her debut on the national stage.
You may recall after the September Debate, Lowry famously said that Carly Cut Off Trump’s Balls ‘with the Precision of a Surgeon’ at Second Debate, which even for the National Review Online seems a little, um, crass? Let’s refresh our memories: Read More

Thanks Tracey – this was pretty low-hanging fruit though. In two months, Lowry is now 180°. It’s kinda impressive how fast he can leave his old beliefs behind.

Just look at that face. How could other countries NOT laugh at us?

They’re probably still laughing over 43.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they still are.

He’s America’s Berlusconi, another buffoonish billionaire who the commoners thought was their salvation. And Lowrey looks even more toady, sucking up to the Donald.

Trump is the perfect candidate to represent the right wing. He says exactly what they have been dying to hear since at least 2008. The frightening thing about it is, there are not any sane republicans left. They will vote for anyone or anything with an R after their name.
