Have you gone over to NRO to post what you just posted here? If not, why not?

Believe it or not, the author probably isn’t coming over here to see what we think.

I’m urging all the Trump supporters to go post your thoughts on these sites publishing these articles. If you don’t, you truly are just preaching to the choir.

WND, Takimag, AT, Breitbart, NRO, gateway pundit, dilbertblog and many other sites we post articles from all use Disqus to post comments and I’ve never gotten any kind of spam from them.

Your Disqus account is good over any site that uses it so there’s no need for multiple accounts.

Don’t let your voice get lost in an echo chamber. If it’s worthy of your post here, let the authors know what you think at the site where it’s published.

Trump has pulled the masks off of many.

I'm no fan of Trump (just in case I hadn't made it abundantly clear), but to his credit he has won his victories fairly and above board. If all trends hold he'll hit the 1,237 threshold. By all means, let all the remaining states have their say... but this bullsh*t talk of screwing him over at the convention and/or running a third-party is destructive.

The task of defeating Her Infernal Malevolence in November is going to be daunting enough without meddling GOPe sore losers f***ing up the effort yet more.

National Review and Townhall.com are on my permanent FU lists.

I'm not even a Trump supporter and did just that.. calling BS to the idea of gaming the nominating process. If, after all the delegates are counted, Trump is the last man standing, cutting his knees out from under him accomplishes nothing but eases the path to the White House for the she-devil.

The Republican party is not a direct democracy. It crafts its own rules, and it can change them. 

That's like the house stealing the pot after everyone antes up.

Why would anyone want to spend tens of millions of dollars on a campaign if the rules change after you cross the finish line? They might as well just pick Trump's pocket and take the money.

FR is all about keeping an eye on the enemy.

To not allow the NRO to be published here would not be a positive action.

Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.

Even HuffPost is sometimes allowed to be posted here when they write something that is good for us to see.

After all they are now considered part of the MSM being as the MSM has become more like them

Blocking the NRO from FR is like letting them sucker punch conservatism.

This whole primary has been about moving the goalposts.

Trump won't run.

Trump isn't a serious candidate.

People shouldn't vote for Trump.

Massive media/spending campaign to keep people from voting Trump.

He won't be get the most delegates.

He won't get the required delegates.

We'll contest the convention.

We'll just outright steal the nomination.

They are pretty far out on the ledge now. I think they're in shock that nobody appears to give a crap about what they say.

I swear I'll never take another drink if you just...
Hey, I'd love to see you again! I'll call you in the morning...
I promise I'll pay you back, next month...

The check is in the mail...

Bill [Buckley] told me that he did those kinds of speeches to subsidize NR, that it could not make it on circulations.

Is that still true today? Or rather, was that still true before they decided to commit suicide with the Trump issue?

Do any of you have the time to track down who is funding them?

Am I detecting a little bit of “ Animal Farm” here?

My understanding, from conversations with R. Emmett Tyrrell many years ago, was that not ONE of these magazines can make it without a heavy donor base.
