More sour grapes from the Cruzers.

Ann Coulter gets it right: "It's not that Drudge led to Trump," she added. "Drudge was reflecting where the public is."

Any publication that regards Beck and Kristol as conservatives is no longer a legitimate publication.

They still can’t get over the fact that the Citizens Rejected their Globalist, Marxist Vision for the future.

The news mogul, one of the most mysterious individuals in the media industry...

Huh?!? Why are they mythologizing Drudge? The guy had a weekend TV and radio show for several years. He had stylized himself as a modern Walter Winchell.

The author gives Drudge too much credit. People saw Trump and Cruz and made up their own minds. I liked them both for a while.

People who don’t vote for Democrats are always easily led.

Projection.

If the MSM had come out against Obama and vetted him, he never would have been President. If the MSM actually reported on Hillary accurately, her candidacy would be a non-starter. Give me a break.

Not one mention of Monica Lewinsky in the article.

“Scandal after scandal failed to put a chink in his armor.”

What scandal after scandal? Are they talking about Clinton?

Trump has actually been free of scandals. It’s the state run media that looks at every little Republican toothpick while ignoring the huge logs in the eye of the Democrat party.

This constant ambush is so childish. Over the course of the primary, I decided I was not for Trump but he destroyed the field. This was not a close primary. 2008 was close for the democrats and they quickly moved on to focus on victory. Our party dolts don’t want victory. They want theirs.

If Ronald Reagan was alive he would have trounced Trump!

George Washington would have cleaned Trump’s clock!

Since Drudge writes headlines and provides links to content written by others, his site just reflects reality, it doesn’t create it.

They’d like Drudge to start spinning and slanting like the MSM does.

I don’t know how “Cruzers” are involved with this as much as the “Anti-Trumpers”. Stop bashing those who supported Ted Cruze and let us all pull together to support Trump. I am supporting Trump but was pulling for Cruz. Quit being divisive, Mr. Obama.

Consequently, I think the story is bogus all together and they keep missing the mark and root cause behind the support for Trump. The “blame” (as they would like to call it) goes to the REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT PARTY. For 9 years, a grass roots movement has worked to reshape the republican party. The GOP-E has fought the Tea Party Supporters and Conservatives the WHOLE way. Even many of the chosen and elected “true conservatives” managed to get converted after taking office and fell in line with the rank and file GOP moderates. They lost their spine and reneged on their campaign promises. The Republican Party has a disenfranchised voter base and gravitated toward an actual outsider. They went even more extreme (in political terms) to find someone that would lead and act decisively and be unassociated with establishment influenced. TRUMP ended up being that candidate.

The Republican Party is to “blame” or “credit” with the nomination of Trump. Had they governed as they promised and fought against the rule of the last 7.5 years, Trump likely would not have even run.

I hope Trump delivers on his promises. He has to win the presidency. And I support him. Please support my support for him. Thank you.

Cruz did it to himself. Just like he's doing now. The guys a total phony. Drudge has been spot on in exposing MSM bias.

Cruz and all the other candidates elitist actions drove the majority of the voters to Trump not Drudge. I haven’t been to Drudges site in years but it became obvious the only choice was Trump.

Oh well, they should have done something about turning our neighborhoods into third world slums. Eventually they will be forced to admit publically that the nomination was Trumps the moment he came out against the invasion.

Yet despite his reclusiveness, Drudge holds a firm grip on the conservative news cycle. As the founder and operator of the Drudge Report, he influences and often creates news narratives.

might i suggest a correction: "he influences and often creats news 'counter' narratives."

MSM decoder ring: “We needed Cruz to win because Hillary would have cut him to pieces”

The one good thing about the 2016 election is we are now seeing how deep the rabbit hole goes.
The reality is the MSM determines who leads the Country.
If you try to oppose them, they will unite against you.
