Near the tail end of a debate on Sunday during ABC’s This Week over the anti-Donald Trump issue of National Review, National Review editor in chief Rich Lowry blasted Republican strategist Alex Castellanos for coming out as someone who’d accept Trump as the GOP nominee after his attempts to seek alternatives (i.e. a moderate, establishment candidate) failed and “your donors wouldn't go with you.”
When initially asked by co-anchor Martha Raddatz to explain why his publication made the decision to release this special issue, Lowry explained that along with highlighting how “Trump is not a conservative,” it also wanted to make clear that “we wanted to make the point that it's not the so-called establishment, necessarily, that's opposing Trump” but rather “elements of the political establishment [are] figuring out how they can possibly co-opt or deal with Donald Trump.”
