Peggy Noonan Rips #NeverTrump as Doomed ‘Private Club’

For the Wall Street Journal, columnist and former Ronald Reagan adviser Peggy Noonan ripped the #NeverTrump conservatives as a failed “private club.”

Noonan proposed that the intransigence of the #NeverTrump-ists risks their playing no part in the re-building of the Republican Party in the wake of Donald Trump’s triumphant candidacy.

In her article titled,”Trump Was a Spark, Not the Fire,” Noonan sensibly notes that Trump did not change the Republican Party, he was just the manifestation of changes already occurring as the party drifted toward the left, dragged there by a Democrat Party that has gone to the extreme left.

After marveling at Trump’s smashing primary success, Noonan perfectly explained how the arrogance of the media gave Trump a free hand to do whatever he wanted during this primary season.

The media, Noonan said, thought they would kill Trump and so gave him what amounted to $2 billion in free air time, all with the expectation theirs would be the hand that would kill his primary campaign. If Trump was going to die on the air from some crazy thing he had to say, the columnist explained, then each media outlet wanted his political death broadcast on their airwaves.

The one-time Reagan speechwriter also made a great comparison to how the media misread Trump from the start.

I saw her say this on one of the talking head shows. She's serious and rightly so. The GOP infidels not supporting Trump are ridiculously moronic in their attempts to do stupid things like introduce a failed former candidate (Romney) on a third party ticket. They're only making Trump people dig in further while gaining the ostracizing from their peers. I guess people will do just about anything to remain relevant when they're so obviously not.

Noonan is the one that thought Romney was going to win because she saw a lot of signs in Palm Beach FL. She is a clueless, empty suit.

Peggy Noonan is a very bright and perceptive individual. She would be a great asset in the Trump administration.
Drew, on the other hand, is a troll.

GOPers should rally around Trump and offer info to him so that he is better informed on issues instead of considering a 3rd candidate, which will only split the votes and guarantee a Hillary win.
