I don't know who 'Emerald Robinson' is - it sounds like a stripper name - and this tweet is framed very wingnutty. But if the reporting is accurate it's another example of how much of a failure conservatism has been exposed to be.

There aren't even enough conservatives left in America to support one of the two major conservative magazines. It's a completely failed ideology.

Trump proved it when he defeated 16 exceptional representatives of conservatism, albeit in different flavors. But the Republican Party faithful rejected their failed ideology, with it's lies about trickle-down economics, and none of them came close.

Not so. Kristol has turned against Trump and the GOP and the Weekly Standard ist kaput. He worked with Obama to derail Trump. Screw him bigly.

Good to see that there's no longer a market for warmongering, nation building, and collaborating with progressive freaks anymore....There may be a sliver of hope for republicants yet.

Americans across the land are waking up to the mainstream media/ aka Mockingbird media.... lying to them every single day!


And yes, I agree that never Trumper, Bill Kristol helped destroying it.

well, that was generally a magazine that was a deep read and had intelligent articles. The audience for such heady material on the right has all but disappeared, as educated people flock to the democrat party.

True, it is a completely failed ideology – authoritarian and wrongheaded.

I subscribed to the WS for several years but let it lapse maybe 2-3 years ago as Kristol and others morphed into whatever the hell they call themselves today.
