Blacklisted: Drudge, Coulter, Hannity, Carson, Breitbart, O’Reilly, Christie Make GOP Smart Set’s 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 haven’t worked. So these Republicans are getting more Nixon-y. They’re 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.

I don’t agree with Trump on everything.
I expect that because I’m not voting for a saint. I’m voting for the next President.
And should he become our party’s nominee I’ll give him my unqualified, stinting support.
It should be noted Amanda Carpenter isn’t drawing up a list to blacklist conservatives who might support Hillary Clinton.
Just don’t accuse her of being principled.
Get a list of the anti-Trump blacklist promoters. More than one can play.
“Trump is Romney with more testosterone.”
Ha, ha, ha!!!
ROTFLMAO!
So true...
this shows how intellectually dead the anybody but trump group is. I don’t support trump but if he is the candidate I will vote for him...the other choice is Hillary.
Yup.
That didn’t bother Amanda Carpenter at the time and she wasn’t ex-communicating people who endorsed Mittens.
And its not like Trump is less ideologically pure than Mittens, the father of Obamacare.
I think we should make and keep an ongoing list of every “Republican” who says they would rather elect/vote for Hillary than Trump -— those are the real saboteurs in the Party, and need to be “punished” by the grass roots if they cause/allow/facilitate the election of any Democrat for President in 2016!!!
P.S. -— I am a Cruz supporter, but not a Trump hater.
My blacklist of those pushing Holy Ted is growing: STEVE DEACE, Andrew Klavan, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin. There are many others, but I wasn’t paying much attention to them before, anyway.
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 10m10 minutes ago
.@EWErickson got fired like a dog from RedState and now he is the one leading opposition against me.
In 10 minutes, it's been retweeted 400 times, and "liked" over a thousand.
Apt description. At least he doesn’t inexplicably choke in front of his enemies.
No wonder they can’t stand him. When you’re used to losing, winning looks unfathomable.
I guess Ms. Carpenter and the GOP establishment are right that Trump needs to be spanked.
Someone always needs to lose to the Democrat.
“And its not like Trump is less ideologically pure than Mittens, the father of Obamacare.”
Trump isn’t idelogical at all. What makes you think he’s more ideologically pure than “Mittens”?
You can’t rely on Trump to do anything conservative, because he’s never really been one, and he can’t find out what side of the fence he’s on for almost everything.
OK, so they compile a Blacklist, who will actually be doing the blacklisting?
good or bad this election will be talked about for the next 50 years because of the fact that it truly a insurgent change in government that is happening if a republican gets in.
“supporters that they can kick out of the movement, never to return.”
By whose authority did they obtain this right?
What a silly article. The Trump fanboys are the most sensitive little cry bullies ever. They won’t watch Fox...National Review.. George Will...Charles Krauthammer...The Weekly Standard..etc. Any criticism of Dear Leader sets them running around with hair on fire. Just mention Megyn Kelly and you’ll see 150 posts of mostly vile insults. I think FR should give them their little safe place.
“I hope there are no purges on either side.”
By purge, do you mean secret mass executions without trial?
Because the left—by which I mean, among others, everyone who voted for Billy Jeff Blyth, for his faux wife the murderess, for Obama, and certainly for Sanders—needs to be driven from and permanently barred both from public life and from our bureaucracies.
“What a silly article. The Trump fanboys are the most sensitive little..usual Cruz Cuck filler looking for a point”
No one cares if you think it is silly. Do you agree with these tactics or not?
In agree with you on the part of knowing who was a republican that supported Hillary but it is not a black list it just something to know when they open there mouth
Exactly why he’s like Mittens.
So what is the GOP establishment up in arms about?
Inquiring minds would like to know.

Hypocritical of you to use that tag line in the same post you are openly embracing Fascist tactics.
