Ace of Spades Goes Full-On Populist?
The Other McCain ^ | December 9, 2015 | Robert S. McCain

Posted on 12/09/2015 1:11:13 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Because I’ve been up to my ears in radical feminism for the past year, I haven’t monitored the day-to-day developments of the GOP presidential primary campaign the way I did during the 2012 cycle. As a result, I am unaware (and really, do not care) which of my blogger friends are supporting which candidate. My attitude for the 2016 campaign can be summarized in three words: Anybody But Clinton. After my (ultimately futile) hyper-involvement in the 2012 campaign, I simply do not want to expend mental or emotional energy worrying about who the Republicans nominate. Others do not have that attitude, however, which brings us to Ace of Spades discussing the latest Donald Trump controversy:

Laura Ingraham: GOP will rip itself apart at convention to avoid nominating Trump. Krauthammer: Trump’s proposal is “deeply bigoted,” “indefensible.” Josh Earnest: Trump’s proposal consigns him for the new and improved “Wrong side of history,” which is now “the dustbin of history.” . . . Ingraham points out that Trump’s proposal comes in a particular context: When the establishments of both parties already want to take him out, and are willing to seize on whatever cudgel is at hand to do so.

Lots of the “conservative” media are either people that got their start back when they wrote on typewriters, or people running websites and blogs plastered with ads and popups.

They need to be cleared out. I’d rather have just Rush, Levin, infowars, Rebel Media, and the far better commentators on YouTube and FR.

I see a copy of the Weekly Standard and National Review, and cant imagine who is still paying for those.

Ace said he was done with the GOP a while back. But he and the others are no fans of Trump, even though they are objective enough to give Trump credit for some things like effectively challenging the soviet media.

I discovered Adblocker by chance and felt dumb when I realized how long I had gone without it. It has made my internet experience 100X better.

I am a big fan of the site.and regular reader, even though jts not a tight fit for.me.ideologically. I am social conservative while ace and.some.contribugors.less.so. Yet ace has been respectful and even empathic of social.conservatives, defending us from.charges we should.drop.our beliefs.to get along, etc.
.
There was a huge cooment war over.trump, with many of.saying ace was too quick.to.buy into gals naarative trump. He threatens bans to.calm.it.down. I guess he has been getting.more.trump.symoathetic over time. I’m still a determined Cruz voter but disgusted at lies.told.about trump.
