Peggy Noonan’s column in the Wall Street Journal on Saturday is a very clear exposé of the profound political division in America today. Her position is that Donald Trump is a deadly combination of crazy, dishonest, and incompetent, that there can be no possible question that he was and is unsuited to be president, and that he was unquestionably honestly defeated in the presidential election. More, he deliberately incited a violent assault upon the U.S. Capitol on January 6, his party is afraid of him even though his support is thin and diminishing, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s investigation into the events of January 6 must be pursued with energy

There are about 72,000,000 million of us that would strongly disagree with pretty much everything Peggy Noonan spewed!!!

Many years ago Peggy was intelligent and wrote good pieces. Somewhere along the way she lost her senses and started cranking out RINO and even pro-leftist/Marxist trash.
I'd like my old Peggy back or no Peggy at all. This one is worthless.

Peggy Noonan managed to attend the right cocktail parties to somehow be seen as some kind of conservative voice. She is a phony elitist who speaks for no one.

The problem with Peggy is she is suffering from extreme psychotic disillusion Trump Derangement Syndrome and basic stupidity which is untreatable.

Being an old lady, I can easily say that Peggy is an elderly woman trying to compete with AOC for media attention by saying extremely stupid stuff that she actually believes.

Conrad Black gives Peggy a waste of undeserved praise.
Being half right doesn’t count anymore.

I quit paying attention to Trump Deranged morons like Noonan long ago. Some sort of a definite mental illness took over a number of folks who used to pretend to be conservatives. The good news is that they wrecked their careers and nobody pays any attention to them any more. Noonan is a prime example, but there are a dozen or two more.

The problem with Peggy is she just wants to be liked by the Acela corridor "in" crowd. She lost me when she fawned all over PBO in the runup to the 2008 election and I haven't read her since. Good to know I haven't missed anything.

Peggy prefers style over substance, which causes me to ignore anything that type of person bloviates. I consider those types shallow thinkers.

I didn't even read this Article. Peggy has been Irrelevant for many many years. If you watched her on CNN or MSNBC way back when, she looked, and spoke, like she had too many pills and Vodka! She slurred her words and talked in circles. Her hair looked like she just got out of Bed. She was a mess. THAT was when I quit caring what she said or wrote!

She is too intelligent and experienced in public affairs not to know that what she is peddling are rank falsehoods. What then motivates, drives such people. I think she is the last salvo of the Bushes to become relevant.

Peggy, like the rest of the power mad establishment, rejects peace and prosperity in favor of chaos. Heath Ledger's Joker nails the thought process of those who seek to dominate others rather than letting them live as free individuals. Chaos keeps the masses in fear. Brave individuals are an impediment to their goals.

The Bushies have gone stark, raving mad.
They placed all of their marbles on ¡JEB! - - and for all his sterling, globalist credentials - - he got crushed by an upstart, An upstart! They can never forgive President Trump for humiliating their brand - - their chosen flag bearer.
Peggy is drowning her anger in chardonnay. Well - - she would be doing that anyway - - but hating Trump gives her a better excuse to do it.

Piggy looney-noonan is a paid part of the dim agitprop machine. If she sounded reasonable in the past that is because she hadn’t been forced to show her true colors.
Thank you, Dr Black, for another incisive writing!!

Conrad Black has effectively dissected Peggy Noonan for all to see. She wouldn’t make a pimple on a real Republican’s butt, and she never did. She was clueless about Obama, and performed journalistic fellatio on his behalf the whole time he occupied the White House. I’m still at a loss to understand why the Wall Street Journal pays her to write the useless drivel they print for her every Saturday.

Right as usual. Trump haters think they can force this down by shouting loud enough. I have come to understand how many people don't mind disenfranchising everybody else. Also how many people who believe they are highly intelligent with a right to rule, are nothing at all special.

FTA: The real problem for Noonan is that she begins to realize Trump’s support is not fading; the Republican Party is his party now, and she and the other NeverTrumpers have lost everything
I can't speak for others but for me, NeverTrumpers are more despicable than Democrats. I despise what the Democrat party stands for but at least they are up front about who and what they are. Noonan and others like her claim to be conservative but have worked for the last few decades to make sure no true conservative succeeds. The Republican party has moved on from the likes of Peggy and her pals.

How the mighty have fallen. I can remember during Dubya's halcyon days when she was "Our Peggy" in these quarters, a brilliant, must-read writer with such insight...and now she's a female dog sell-out, Bettina Arnold!!
If American government is founded on The People, then elections must be sacrosanct, kept as pure and honest as possible. History is full of American electoral shenanigans. But this is serious when 75 percent of those polled think the past TWO presidential elections were rigged. And what to do? #1 is to get involved in local politics. We elect these minor officeholders who hold the power to count your vote, or those who appoint the counters. And if the elections are all "fixed" you have nothing to lose anyways. Put aside the excuses...do something.

#21, your term “journalistic fellatio” is one of the best phrases I’ve ever read and so perfectly descriptive. Congrats!

I can see hating Trump, if he is not your cup of tea, on a personal level. But, to claim that you are a conservative and liable Trump “incompetent,” is pure deceit.

Noonan should be banned from publishing anywhere. I canceled her 20 years ago.

Peggy knows about celebrities. Trump may seem like a celebrity and he'll use that persona when necessary. But he likes to be successful more. He wants our country and people successful, not on our knees begging the country.

The biggest problem with Peggy is that someone still affords her the space to print her drivel.
