Of course, you know by now that Buckley was a fixture of my childhood, and someone I interacted with quite a bit. He was an elite and effete snob, and an out-of-the-closet racist, who would have been quite comfortable with the authoritarianism expressed by Trump. He wasn't complaining about the Harvard faculty thinking they were better than him, he was pointing out that he was better than them, and fully capable of manipulating random names in the phone book.

I never met him, but Buckley was a friend of a family member of mine.
My point wasn't that Buckley objected to people who thought themselves smarter than him. My point was that he doubted the intelligence of the progressives and thought himself smarter then them. We're in agreement on Buckley's view.
You are correct that the Hillary people are winning. But they aren't getting the media attention. The attention is going to the strident progressives.
