Conservative movement professionals in Washington, D.C. are plotting to form a blacklist of Donald Trump supporters that they can kick out of the movement, never to return.
Several conservative talking heads and Beltway consultant types have been very angry about the rise of businessman Trump, who is pushing for American sovereignty, a reversal of neoconservative foreign policy, and competitive bidding for pharmaceuticals even though the drug companies that fund the Republican Party would take a financial hit.
So far, anti-Trump think pieces referencing William F. Buckley have been ineffective. Memes comparing Trump to Hitler havent worked. So these Republicans are getting more Nixon-y. Theyre coming out with an Enemies List.
CNN contributor and former Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spokeswoman Amanda Carpenter volunteered to take the lead in writing the list.
But Carpenter, who once got called an idiot by Donald Trump, did not mention that she formerly defended Trump on numerous occasions. Luckily, savvy Twitter users pointed it out for her in the responses below her tweet.
Carpenter later explained the terms for inclusion on her blacklist.
Carpenter is not alone in calling for a blacklist. Red State contributing editor Ben Howe said that he has the resources to get a high-tech blacklist off the ground, as well as seed money from God knows who in the donor class.
Others in the conservative media industry have called for no forgiveness for Trump enablers and have warned that the conservative movement will never forget.
Matt Walsh compiled a preliminary blacklist over at the Blaze.

You folks are on a hilarious roll this AM what did all of you put into your breakfast cereal today!!! This article has brought out the BEST in all of you!!! Keep these articles coming GOP-E my friends have become embolden and enormously funny!!!
.I wonder what kind of authority Amanda Carpenter has to do this..she is the one that sounds like the fascist not Donald Trump..
****
Amanda Carpenter was just now on CNN looking like the cat that ate the canary.
Seems like her time is up on CNN, yes? /s
The most interesting thing that I found out in the article and its attached list of “Blacklisted Conservatives” is I recognized most of the names on the list and very few of those constructing the list. Even the few that I recognized I have always thought of them a “second” tier conservatives; i.e. those who follow the leaders not those that get out and lead.
An interesting observation, ain’t it?
Various Powerline ‘columnists’ have been bashing Trump for months. I seldom visit the site anymore.
Please add the Weekly Standard and Redstate to your list.
I imagine South Park’s Cartman would
pronounce it, “The Tree of Liber-tie!”
Just swell
Trump supporters will wear it like a badge of honor.
CNN contributor and former Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spokeswoman Amanda Carpenter volunteered to take the lead in writing the list.
And of course you support Cruz, the Bush families own personal ‘outsider’.
Cruz - The GOP elite’s favorite ‘outsider’.
Well, as I’m a conservative, living my life by conservative principles, and I despise big government progressive statists....of course I support Ted Cruz....he’s the only conservative in the race.
No brainer. But nice try. You trumpeters really need some new material.
Of course, 15 minutes ago, Trump was claiming that he “Identified as a Democrat” funneled huge sums of money to high profile Democrat candidates and was urging Republicans to quit harping on illegal immigration, but I guess in his defense, he did have a reality TV show!
I remember the days when FR used to be a Conservative site. As for Coulter and Drudge, they went off the rails a long time ago. Coulter by embracing Christie and Romney and Drudge for going all in for Romney in the last primaries.
