Oh man. I’d love to know how the view ladies did today. A hoot for sure I bet.
If Milo becomes Press Secretary I will gladly pay to watch every press conference. The man will tear apart the liberal press corps in a very entertaining way.
I wouldn’t say Levin “finished strong.” He acknowledged he voted for Trump, said he called “the Trump campaign” and Gov. Pence. THEN goes on to take credit for conservatives winning for Trump. Like, if it weren’t for Levin, conservatives would never have voted for Trump. I can’t tolerate him. Turning off now and will never listen again.
Well here’s some of my suggestions for the list. . . I’m sure there are others I’ve forgotten. . . but these jump out at me.
TOTAL GOATS
Geraldo
Frank Luntz
Bill O’Rielly
Ben Sass
Dana Perino
Mitt Romney
Chris Stierwald
RADIO/TV
Monica Crowley
Judge Jeanne
Mark Simone
BLOGGING/JOURNALISM
A.J.Delgado
Diamond & Silk
Jack Posobiec
Harris Faulkner
HONORABLE MENTION
Sheriff Clarke
Pastor Jeffries
Katrina Pierson
Brunel Donald Kyei
We owe a LOT to Julian Assange with WikiLeaks and James O’Keefe with Project Veritas.
A.J. Delgado and Katrina Pierson...latina/black female TV/social media spokeswomen for Trump.
Dennis Prager made the best arguments for voting for Trump tailored directly to the #nevertrump crowd, coming from someone who was opposed to Trump in the primary.
Mike Gallagher was another radio guy who was exactly as firm for Trump as Hannity and Ingraham.
More GOATS:
Hugh Hewitt
Steve Deace
Erik Erikson
Jennifer Rubin (phony conservative)
Almost everyone at National Review (in addition to J. Goldberg)
HEROS:
Mike Gallagher & Larry Elder - both fair about Trump
Herman Cain
Mark Steyn
Judge Janine was extremely pro-Trump starting in the primary.
Alabama is a safe state, Sessions can move into a cabinet position and the seat will be held.
Personally, I think he’d a great Secretary of State.
And let’s give him due - LS was right about the election and had great inside info from the Trump Campaign - all of which bore out, even though he took some garbage from people on the Board over it.
Lou Barletta, former mayor of Hazleton, PA in Luzerne County and current Congressman. One of the first Congressmen to endorse Trump, and someone who is very popular in this county that Trump successfully flipped from blue to red for the first time since 1988.
Over 1/3rd of Trump’s margin of victory in Pennsylvania came from Luzerne County.
Monica Crowley has been pro-Trump all along.
Do you mean Candy Crowley?
I actually thought President-elect Trump might have given them a shout out in his acceptance speech. Only kidding, but I hope he’s at least sent out a positive thought to them. They really did an amazing job in the campaign.
Sheriff Clark for the good guys. I’d also add Sheriff Arpio who was a strong supporter despite being under attack from DOJ.
So I really question your perception here.
2 of Trump’s pool reporters did an excellent job and deserve appreciation (though may not qualify as ‘heroes’).
David Martosko of the Daily Mail
Kevin Cirilli of Bloomberg
The only fair reporting Trump got.
No Monica’s not under Goats, she’s under the Grew in Freeper Hero Stature Category, as indicated by Reagan Generation2.
oops. My bad.
