Conservative National Review Issues Damning Plea On ‘Radioactive’ Trump
The editors of the conservative journal National Review have pleaded with Republicans not to decide on front-runner Donald Trump because the GOP’s 2024 nominee, simply as they did in 2016 once they devoted a whole concern to trashing the then-reality TV persona.

“They would be well advised to opt for one of the alternatives who are far and away better on the merits, more likely to win in November, and, if elected, more likely to deliver — free from the wild drama of a second Trump term — conservative results,” they added.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley had been cited as critical contenders.
Nothing can justify Trump’s 2020 election lies, his makes an attempt to overturn his loss and the next Jan. 6, 2021 rebellion, the editors stated.
Democrats “plan to make the race all about Trump” if he’s the nominee and “nominating someone else would instantly deny the Democrats their most powerful weapon in the cause of winning an otherwise unthinkable Biden second term — Trump’s radioactive persona,” they defined.

“It’s not too late to choose one of them, and forge a better path for the party and for the country,” the piece concluded.
In January 2016, the journal used a complete concern to making an attempt to see off Trump’s bid for the Republican nomination.
The editors on the time described him as “a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot in behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as the Donald himself.”
Trump hit again on X-then-Twitter, calling it “a failing publication that has lost it’s (sic) way.”
