      1. This is a tempting stance but a bit too glib. No magazine should be judged just by its worst moments. Aside from lots of neo-con boilerplate, The Weekly Standard has had some sterling writing. It's been more consistently anti-Trump than any other conservative publication. https://twitter.com/DavidKlion/status/1070099216326905856 …

      2. This is probably my favorite Weekly Standard article, Matt Labash's brilliant 2007 profile of Roger Stone. Timely!https://www.weeklystandard.com/matt-labash/roger-stone-political-animal-15381 …

      3. More recently, It think this @aliceblloyd profile of Dinesh D'Souza really gets at his personal arc better than anything else I've read.https://www.weeklystandard.com/alice-b-lloyd/american-politics-has-caught-up-with-right-wing-populist-dinesh-dsouza …

      4. The thing with articles like Labash's Stone or Lloyd's D'Souza is that they are not just "good by the standards of conservative magazines." They are good, period. Could easily have appeared in The Atlantic or Harper's.

      5. Also, The Weekly Standard had a really distinguished books page, one that was old-fashion in the best sense (long essays on serious books), graced by some fine writers (not all of whom are conservatives): Joseph Epstein, William Pritchard, Gertrude Himmelfarb

      6. I've been arguing for the last 3 years that Never Trump conservatism is a dead end, because the actual GOP is becoming ever more Trumpized. The troubles The Weekly Standard faces vindicates this analysis but I take no pleasure in that.

      7. The Weekly Standard facing possible closure comes on the heel of the deaths of Charles Krauthammer, John McCain and George H. W. Bush. It really does feel like a particular strand of the American right is coming to an end.

          The strand that believed the same things as Trump but couched them in more polite language? Good riddance imo

          They hate Trump but love his policies. The man himself may be base and vile, but he dies everything they wished they could’ve done. That’s why he hasn’t been impeached already.

          That particular strand had a significant hand in its own death. They all rode the tiger of right-wing "populist" paranoia and racism and never imagined it would grow too wild for them to manage.

          They rode the tiger and now the tiger has stripped the veneer and revealed American Conservatism for what it has been since the late 1960's... a Revanchist party of Racists serving Plutocracy

          The entire left is convinced that Trump won bc conservatives were excited to vote for him, on a whole, they weren’t. But Dems hated voting for Hillary even more and didn’t show up.
