Trump Fires Back at National Review

Donald Trump quickly responded Thursday night to the National Review's special issue urging the Republican Party to say "no" to him as it's presidential nominee.

The GOP front-runner fired off a series of tweets blasting the conservative journal, founded 60 years ago by William F. Buckley. Trump called it a "failing" publication — the same criticism he leveled at the New Hampshire Union Leader when it attacked him last month in a front-page editorial — and said the magazine's late founder "would be ashamed."

National Review is a failing publication that has lost it's way. It's circulation is way down w its influence being at an all time low. Sad!

Very few people read the National Review because it only knows how to criticize, but not how to lead.

The late, great, William F. Buckley would be ashamed of what had happened to his prize, the dying National Review!
