These Were Townhall's 5 Most Popular Columns in 2018

2018 is coming to an end and that means we’re taking a trip down memory lane to look back at Townhall’s most popular columns throughout the year.

5. MAGA vs. DACA: How Trump Supporters Trumped Bleeding Heart Liberals on Late Night TV by Arthur Schaper

"Last week, Jimmy Kimmel, the late-night talk show host with a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, wanted to host a segment with voters who oppose DACA. To find willing guests, ABC casting had reached out to me and fellow Trump supporters to appear on the show. At first, I was reluctant. Kimmel uses every shame-inducing prop imaginable to attack President Trump and conservatives in general.

2. Israel Figured Out How to Prevent School Shootings 40 Years Ago-It's Time the US Followed Suit by Lawrence Meyers

"I’m a small government guy, however, it’s sadly apparent that the United States of America is paralyzed with political indecision over something the State of Israel figured out more than 40 years ago: all schools should have mandated security features and active shooter protocols." ...

1. Seven Simple Steps to Eliminate School Shootings Overnight by Kevin McCullough

"After days of bitter hurt, anger, deep savage argument, and plenty of non-thinking social media trolls blurting whatever comes to mind through their thumbs, it’s time we as Americans begin a genuine discussion about how to stop the next school shooting from occurring." ...
