I don't know who David French is, but he has a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Let's start a pool to pick the date National Review gets behind Donald Trump. I say 1 September. Speaking of National Review, when this rag of a magazine published an issue entitled "Against Trump" three months ago, the writers probably thought they were being edgy. They're now looking stupid. How embarrassing it will be to have to get behind a man they ridiculed with language such as this:

Some conservatives have made it their business to make excuses for Trump and duly get pats on the head from him. Count us out. Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot in behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as the Donald himself.

From menace to messiah in a matter of months. Write it down.

Little Marco is getting right with Donald. Are you?

To the Editor:

Re “Daring to Back Clinton” (Metropolitan section, April 17), about the isolation felt by Columbia students who support Hillary Clinton:

At the age of 12, I canvassed for Senator Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. At the age of 18, I organized several Black Lives Matter protests. And at the age of 20, my peers consider me conservative.

Over this time, my political beliefs have remained unchanged. I still support entitlements, loathe mass incarceration, advocate for L.G.B.T.Q. rights, and believe in the government’s power to improve lives and create sweeping change. This ideology makes me a Democrat in the vein of Barack Obama, Jed Bartlett (“West Wing”) and even Mrs. Clinton. But on my college campus, I might as well be Pat Buchanan.

At Harvard, admitting that #ImWithHer is nearly tantamount to boasting “Make America Great Again.” If you haven’t shared a post from the writer and activist Shaun King, you are not a true liberal here.

When defending Mrs. Clinton becomes as unacceptable as bigotry, when her supporters are called privileged, oppressive and stupid, we lose the central feature of our democracy—pluralism.

Indeed, by surrounding themselves with only those who share their narrow set of political beliefs, the students who make up the liberal base on college campuses perpetuate the very oligarchical traditions they lament.

I’m a Hillary supporter. In their eyes, I might as well be a College Republican.

Note from KBJ: The Left eats itself. I love it.

More and more Republican elites are getting right with Donald. Have you? If I may say so, what we are observing is a sea change in American politics. Things will never be the same. Donald Trump will not only win the Republican nomination for president; he will crush Hillary Clinton in November and serve two terms as president. Historians will mark this as the Age of the People, a time when ordinary, everyday, hard-working, God-fearing people regained control of their government, which had been taken from them by self-serving political professionals (a class that includes not only elected officials, but donors, consultants, pollsters, and pundits). If you're having a hard time seeing this, it's because you're immersed in it. Step out of the water and look around. Pay particular attention to Donald Trump's crowds. Everything has changed. Those who are invested in the system are confused, frustrated, and outraged. Some of them, such as Jonah Goldberg, John Podhoretz, Stephen Hayes, Ross Douthat, George Will, Charles Krauthammer, and Rush Limbaugh, are in denial. (Limbaugh is in the bag for Ted Cruz, but won't say so lest he lose listeners.) I'm glad I lived long enough to see this country taken back from the elites.

Ya gotta love American politics.
