The article reports this as if it were anything but a variation of “ Stassen for President.” This indicates just how far removed from reality National Review is.
The unnamed conservatives at least are smart enough not to get identified with this Don Quixote-like crusade.
The last time a man was elected President who had not been a governor, a senator, a Vice President, or a four-star general was in 1928, when Herbert Hoover was elected. That did not work out well for Republicans.
