Donald Trump has won over much of the Republican electorate this summer. Among the conservative media establishment, however, opinions about the billionaire businessman are sharply divided.

To some commentators on the right, Trump is making a mockery of conservatism and jeopardizing the GOP's chances of taking back the White House. To others, Trump represents the type of anti-establishment warrior lacking in American politics.

The following is a guide on where some of the most powerful players in conservative media come down on Trump.

They don’t have to target Dems - they goosestep to whatever BO wants them to do. This makes sense with the way the Rs have been voting lately and bending over for zero.

[Albion Wilde]

The WSJ editorial page... has not let up. On Monday, it ran an editorial asserting that an embrace of Trump's immigration proposal will make the GOP the "deportation party."

Where's the problem?

[Nifster]

And why should he? After all he hasn’t been a conservative for a long time

[Nifster]

Obviously not very old in years

[FreeReign]

Trump, Trump, Trump: The media is picking the Republican nominee again.

I see what you did there.

And my comment on it is, maybe.

[FreeReign]

The WSJ editorial page... has not let up. On Monday, it ran an editorial asserting that an embrace of Trump's immigration proposal will make the GOP the "deportation party."

Strange, I looked at Trump's plan and I didn't see much mention of "deportation" except for deportation of the criminals.

Sarah Palin + Sheriff Joe Arpaio + Ted Nugent + Greta.

[InterceptPoint]

Yes. I missed those.

[BlackAdderess]

Trump is enraging the open borders asshats, and there is ZERO that is conservative about open borders.

[Tucker39]

Bill Kristol is Gertrude Himmelfarb’s son. Don’t know much about her. Vaguely recall once hearing that she was a fairly influential Jewish lady.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

You are right. Trump is the anti-girly-man.

[onyx]

That’s OKay.

[TexasCajun]

This is like a top-5 media list, if you add all the GOPe consultants and so-called strategist...

You know, the ones they keep insulting us but want us to vote for their career politician the list is huge.

[MUDDOG]

"These are smart people," Beck wrote. "What am I missing?"

That you're not a smart person?

[elpadre]

Donald has a way of growing on you!!

I liked him but didn’t think of him as a good candidate in the beginning. Today, although I can’t imagine his style of behavior coming out of the WH, I think he might be able to save the nation. I’m still on the fence, but more and more I like what I see.

Will suggested that voters might have second thoughts about Trump once they consider the wisdom of giving the bombastic businessman access to nuclear weapons.

George Will is reaching back decades for that canard.

He pulled out a similar moldy oldie when Pat Buchanan ran in 1996, calling Pat "the brawling barkeep from the Bowery of American politics," thus recycling the "Rum Romanism and Rebellion" charge of a hundred years earlier (Will column 2/22/1996).
