GOP drops National Review from debate sponsorship over Trump attack

  • 8 years ago
Another publication has been dropped from co-sponsorship of a Republican debate because it editorialized against Donald Trump - and this time it's the venerable National Review .
In its "Against Trump" editorial , the conservative magazine described the Republican front-runner as "a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in favor of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones."
Earlier this month, ABC News dropped the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper as a partner for a Feb. 6 debate in that state because it had endorsed Chris Christie for the Republican presidential campaign.
