A new editorial from National Review condemns Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance (R-OH), over their election denialism and “slandering” of Mike Pence on Monday.

Under the headline “2020 Is Over,” the flagship conservative magazine’s editors noted that Trump again insisted that he had won the 2020 race during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris last week before observing that “Trump is still wrong, of course.”

After rejecting his claims on the merits, they also argued that “looking backwards to 2020 helps remind swing voters skeptical of the Biden-Harris record why they have justifiable concerns about trusting Trump with power again.”

Then they turned to Vance, who recently boasted about how he would have plunged the country into chaos had he been entrusted with former Pence’s role on January 6, 2021, and “insisted on slandering the honorable man Trump chose twice as his running mate.”

A Conservative Bible.

4. I think the GOP threw Buckley under the bus with Raygun

a long time ago!

7. Buckley's great nephew was one of the Jan. 6th rioters.

The scion of a great lineage of conservative intellectuals now faces federal charges for allegedly storming the Capitol on Jan. 6, according to newly unsealed court records.

The man who was allegedly Leo Brent Bozell IV wasn’t particularly hard to spot: He wore a hoodie with the words “Hershey Christian Academy” on it as he strolled around the Senate chamber, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit, giving plenty of material to online sleuths who later tipped off law enforcement.

But that’s not the most notable thing about Leo: His father is L. Brent Bozell III, the well-known conservative media activist who founded the right-wing outlets CNSNews and Media Research Center.

The alleged rioter’s great uncle is William F. Buckley, Jr., the towering conservative intellectual known for, among other things, founding the National Review and, later, threatening to punch Gore Vidal in the face.

5. But not a maga one.

2. The horses have already fled

Closing the barn door will do no good.

A publication that was born idolizing Francisco Franco should not complain when its politics reaches the logical conclusion.

3. Sure, it makes for a great cover as to why he's not expected to have a plan or policy stance on anything

Except for Project 2025. Which, we'll fully become aware of after the election should this madman win.

6. trump already admitted recently that he lost in 2020

Time for a new ad, Dems!
