Round and Round
National Review assembled the usual righteous circus to whip Trump round the rings. Much cackling. Unearthly, somehow.
Why won’t he leave? This, the last possible humiliation! Midst the Sawdust Hell of True Believers!
The trick ponies. Seedy costumes of sliding glitters. Rising dust in the tracking spotlights. Manure.
Buckley and I lived in New Haven at the same time, me a townie
without a fake Oxford accent. (Was OK, most Yalies spoke that way.)
He went on to be a great political entertainer, like Reagan and Goldwater.
If there’s a Right Hereafter...well, sadly, how could there be?
