For those who’ve forgotten one of the worst elements of the 2016 election, a short refresher is in order. Almost from the moment that Donald Trump descended on the lobby of Trump Tower to make his campaign announcement, an army of online trolls leapt to his defense. They cheered his denunciation of Mexicans as “rapists,” they relished his attacks on so-called globalism, and heaven help anyone who dared attack their populist hero.
I’m speaking, of course, about the alt-right, that motley crew of white nationalists, neo-Confederates, and outright Nazis who share a common belief that culture is inseparable from ethnicity. To these folks, Western civilization cannot exist unless it is a white civilization.
The alt-right’s primary “contribution” to Trump’s election was a sustained, vicious assault on his opponents. I’ve told my story before. I saw our young daughter photo-shopped into gas chambers, terrible images of dead and dying black men and women plastered all over my wife’s blog, e-mailed threats, and terrifying phone hacks. And I was hardly alone. My friend Ben Shapiro endured an avalanche of anti-Semitism. Erick Erickson’s family faced a nightmare of threats. There was hardly a conservative Trump opponent who didn’t face such trash to some degree. I knew multiple journalists who, for the first times in their careers, legitimately feared not just for their lives but for their family members’ lives as well.
In response to this evil movement, Breitbart stood out among prominent conservative outlets, publishing perhaps the most influential apologetic for the alt-right and promoting that piece’s co-author, Milo Yiannopoulos, as its premiere writer and personality. Yiannopoulos himself “trolled” and attacked Trump’s opponents relentlessly, blasting out anti-Semitic messages at his targets and inspiring legions of Twitter followers to do the same.

That’s it. Bannon stays.
L
David French is a dirtbag of the highest order, ranking right up their with Soros, the Clintons and 0bama.
I am 1000% in favor of Bannon on Trump team, Trump would NEVER have won this election without Bannon, he KNEW the issues that would win the election!!! Bannon KNEW exactly what middle Americans were thinking and afraid to say!!! Immigration AND the WALL being the number 1 and WINNING issue!!! That WAS Bannon plain and simple if Bannon goes the wall will NEVER materialize!!!!
Fire all ‘never Trumpers’... then cancel any and all subscriptions to their silly magazines.
Then vote them out of office...
Fire National Review!
Oh wait, I did, a long time ago.... they are the Never-Trump cult.
David French is not intellectually honest, to put it nicely.
If a faggoty bunghole bandelero like French is agin’ Bannon, then I’m 100% on Bannon’s side.
Before couldn’t care less about Bannon, but now with David French, a confirmed (March 2, 2016) “Never-Trumper” suggesting he be fired, I say he should instead be promoted!
Remember when this dweeb publicly contemplated jumping into the presidential race as a Never Trump alternative?
It’s a good bet that Trump should do the exact opposite of whatever this loser recommends or demands.
The National Review is a great read if you want to find out what America’s enemies think.
“They cheered his denunciation of Mexicans as “rapists,”
As far as anyone needs to read in case they did not know who this POS is.
Trump said that SOME of the ILLEGALS Mexicans are rapists. That is true, since SOME do commit rape. And Trump thinks that, since the United States has enough rapists of its own, it does not need to import rapists from other nations.
Isn't he the DUMBASS that was going to run as a 3rd Party to try & spoil a Republican Victory?
If more people voted like he did, Hillary would have been president.
That's all you need to know about the judgement of David French.
“
Trump will have the most successful presidency ever if he listens carefully to their advice, and does the opposite.
Every. Single. Time.”
otherwise, he will be a one-termer like read-my-lips-kinder-gentler-Bush (who was unkind and ruthless when it came to conservatives)
>>Trump will have the most successful presidency ever if he listens carefully to their advice, and does the opposite.
Every. Single. Time.

Yes. Bannon & Miller are the advisers who most closely mirror our conservative positions.
What I don’t like is how there are so many neo-cons and former O’Vomit staff ~ from McMasters on down the line. Jared & Ivanka’s recommendations for hiring liberal staffers like Dina Powell are off-putting.
William F. Buckley is rolling over in his freakin’ grave. ST-Freakin-U already, does anyone know how to get aboard the team? Good Gosh almighty, I never played football, I was runner, but even I get you don’t criticize the coach or the specialty coaches and the staff.
This sort of BS is why I have not gone near NR in almost 2 years now.
Last year NR was telling us all ‘No Trump.’
I hope that soupy make believe conservative solitude feels good.
Let me begin by saying that I was wrong. Weeks ago I said on a number of radio interviews that while I opposed Trump in the primary, I’d back him if he won the GOP nomination. I hadn’t yet seen — or had been unwilling to believe — the full extent of his contempt for the truth, his fondness for far-left conspiracy theories, and his sheer malice. When I saw Trump in full, my decision was easy: Never Trump.
