I have to intervene as a 'friend'
Ferguson is good but Jonah Goldberg and the dispatch are pathetic Never Trump Republicans without an audience.
Jonah is more knowledge than intelligence, once in a while he gets lucky and say something insightful like a broken clock twice a day
Stop reading Jonah Goldberg and Dispatch
Regarding his quote, Niall is comparing the Democrats and left wing apparatchiks to the old Soviet Union Politburo and Pravda
Democrats have embraced Kremlinology

I didn't want to say it first, but I found that Goldberg was just nitpicking...

Dang, it sure is nitpicking. I mean I could nitpick it as well but the main thread is spot on.

That's what he does because he can't contribute anything of substance
Lost a lot of respect for him in 2017
I didn't mind he didn't vote for Trump but he hated Trump personally

Goldberg is an establishment guy. I haven't read anything from him in years because he seemed like a mouth piece for the neocons to me. The neocons hate Trump because he doesn't really have ideals and doesn't play their game. I'm not Trump fan but his brash approach and ability to garner support exposes the truth in those that hate him. Those in his party and those in other parties. Its one of the more fascinating things to observe as a politically disenfranchised person.
