Blacklisted: Drudge, Coulter, Hannity, Carson, Breitbart, OReilly, Christie Make GOP Smart Sets List of Ideological Hustlers
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.
Has anyone compiled the definitive list of conservatives who should be blackballed for supporting Trump? I will if it doesn't exist.

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.
My blacklist is limited to people who have formally endorsed Trump. Not those who simply explain the phenomenon. https://t.co/KrbutWYesO

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.

So, jaydee - whadda think of those three new Alaska delegates pumping up Trump's greater and greater percentages, anyways?
Tough break that the Luzer only got two...
How do they get away with “blacklist”, I thought it was racist?
Lots of straw men statements in your rant.
BTW, Trump is leading in NY by 65% over the Canadian, who lost a ton of voters by using the term “NY. Values” , which many found pejorative and demeaning.
The smartest man in the room is tone deaf in all the other ones.
“...Trump’s greater and greater percentages, anyways?...”
The point being, trump has so far failed to convince over half the electorate in every primary so far. If his support is as widespread as you seem to claim, surely he would have well over half the electorate willing to vote for him, yes? But he doesn’t. All I’m saying is that if he gets to the convention with less than half, he has earned exactly jack-squat. All he is due is a *righteously* contested convention. And all those “pledged” delegates start becoming “unpledged” and free to vote their preference. If you want trump, you’re going to have to earn it and he’s got a long way to go yet with Cruz and Kasich lined up as spoilers.
“...BTW, Trump is leading in NY by 65% over the Canadian...”
BTW, trump is *waaaaaaaaaaaay* behind BOTH Clinton and Sanders in NY. Bernie “Socialist” Sanders is cleaning trump’s clock in NY!! Trump can’t get it together enough to beat Bernie “Full-Retard” Sanders in trump’s own state?! What’s up with that?
No more strawman than your whoppers. He never had the leg-humping trump-pet vote anyway. I don't know of anyone who had any problem understanding what is meant by "NYC values".
The same can be said of Cruz. Cruz has no where near the majority of conservative votes he needs, either.
Greg Hughes, Utah State house Speaker needs to be added... LOL
The general election is 8 months away, they are not relevant.
“...The same can be said of Cruz...”
Cruz or Kasich are beside the point, which is that trump consistently loses over half the electorate. If you have educated yourself on contested vs brokered elections, then you are smart enough to understand what that entails for all remaining candidates at the convention. If trump cant convince over half the electorate to pledge him over half the delegates, then he is not *entitled* to the nomination. If he wants it, he has to earn it. So far, he’s *not* earning it. He’s winning primaries in a crowded field and all that will get him is a contested primary. Righteously contested too.
The point being, uncheck Alaska as a "win" for crLuzer.
Insult comic Rottweiler to the rescue.
Cruz and Kasich also lose over half of the delegates.
So?
A foul and boring subject, which I thankfully avoided by being in a REAL hard science, where your knowledge of stats is taken for granted.
Good luck pushing the " trump consistently loses over half the electorate" meme.
I think the majority of those who push that stuff know nothing of the real world. :)
So?
Geez, ConservativeMind - now his Mommy is going to wonder where that nasty red mark on his face came from... :)
