Don Surber nails this one:

Roger Simon in addressing the bidding war that was last night’s “Debate”…

I also wonder if as many people will continue to vote in Drudge’s polls, now that he’s joined up with the Never-Trump crew. Maybe he should start a

Long time readers of this blog will understand that I have become increasingly nonplussed by Peggy Noonan’s utterings these last ten years or so.

The always formidable Sebastian Gorka:

It’s been a tough two years if you’re a post-Reagan era, Bush-flunky fake conservative

Yeah, I’ll bet it has.

Well that didn’t take long.

Roger Kimball’s tightly constructed piece doesn’t exerpt well. I would simply urge you to go and read it. But here’s a taste…

And they’re off! Victor Davis Hanson, a classicist and military historian, has said
