As I’ve noted before, Rich Lowry is the quintessential anti-anti-Trumper (AAT). He was as aware of Trump’s innumerable personality flaws as anyone, which admittedly doesn’t say much about his judgment, but he trained his fire exclusively on the left as long as the man on golf cart was in office. Whether this was out of a desperate desire to keep the right united against the left or a simple craven wish to remain on good terms with the mainstream of the GOP, I don’t know. What I do know is that Lowry and his like were Trump enablers. History will show that they could have tried to keep the ship of state on track, and they didn’t. They watched a disaster unfold and just let it happen for purely self-interested reasons.
Today, of course, Lowry has a plausible right-wing alternative, so he’s attacking Trump with as much fervor as I do. In the immortal words of Shania Twain, that don’t impress me much.
