Jonah Goldberg – a former editor of the increasingly left-wing National Review website – took to CNN this week to explain that only large, billionaire donors have the country’s interests at heart, and that “small donors are actually one of the biggest problems for democracy.”
The full statement from the rabid NeverTrump activist:
“There was a lot of cheering and self congratulation about the rise of small donors a decade ago. And now small donors are actually one of the biggest problems for democracy, for the GOP. Large donors actually have a strategic view about moderation, who can win, and who can’t. Small donors are really just venting their spleen with their credit card.”
Writing for The Dispatch, a liberal publication Goldberg recently founded, he expanded on his defense of the GOP establishment, accusing grassroots supporters of, “…suffer[ing] from the delusion that they are victims of the ruling classes and that the woke left is running everything…”. He concludes: “For those desperate for a Republican nominee other than Trump, hoping voters will change their minds seems scary. But that’s democracy for you.”
