I know some of you will have issues with the names I list. I am going with what I personally see and hear, mostly on PBS and NPR.
Jonah Goldberg. He seems to have disappeared from NPR, used to hear him interviewed fairly often. When he appeared on NPR he seemed to recognize Trump for exactly what he is. Margaret Hoover. I see her show on PBS almost every week. She is clearly conservative but I have seen her ask conservative guests some pretty tough questions. Don’t ask me for cites but I have seen it. David Brooks He is usually on the PBS Friday news round up, that’s where I see him. He’s been an anti-Trumper from the beginning. He works in the conservative view point but not the Trumpian view point.
I listen to The Politics Guys regularly. The main guy is a Dem but he has right leaning co-hosts and they get their fair chance to express their views.
P.J has always been so as well. So much so that he said in 2016 about Hillary: “She’s wrong about absolutely everything, but she’s wrong within normal parameters.” Implying that trump was wrong outside of normal parameters. Seems pretty prophetic.
Yeah, that’s pretty much it. People have been talking about Coulter criticizing Trump; what they tend to leave out is that Coulter has been criticizing the fact that she feels he’s dragging his feet on doing all the awful stuff he promised.
David Frum is a good example of this; he is the former George W. Bush speechwriter who coined the term “Axis of Evil.” He has been shouting from the rooftops that the emperor has no clothes since this whole thing started.
Steve Schmidt is another; he was John McCain’s campaign manager in 2008. Al Franken interviewed him on his podcast recently, and they had a really great discussion.
Long-time readers of The Washington Post will know, of course, that Jennifer Rubin and Max Boot are conservative columnists who have been Never-Trumpers from the start.
For at least three years now, their columns have been so single-mindedly anti-Trump that you wouldn’t even know they are conservatives. They’ve hardly ever written a column on any other conservative issues for a long time.
Eventually they had to scrape the bottom of the barrel, and hired Henry Olsen and Marc Thiessen to provide some semblance of of opposing viewpoints. But their opinion pieces are generally just fact free regurgitated Republican talking points unworthy of the Post.
I listen to KCRW’s Left, Right & Center podcast. On the right, their regular is Rich Lowry of the National Review and is an anti-Trumpist. Lately they’ve had instead Michael Steele, former RNC chair, who is very anti-Trump.
