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.

Have you ditched Jeff Session yet?
I’ll treat Sessions like the trumpsters treat Cruz
Thanks for posting a non-sequitur. Have a nice day :)
can’t be. National Review full throatedly supported Romney. They have disavowed Trump.
So instead of one election cycle of conservative failure we can have a whole lost generation of failure. Great plan!

Guess NR doesn't like testosterone.
you asked I answered.
Vote for liberal trump...no.
So you are ok with a socialist/ communist I guess. You just can’t see beyond your ideology. Sit home with your self rightousness and enjoy Hillary.
Gee this is pure fascism IMHO.
Question: Has anyone heard Cruz disavow this disgusting act of fascism?
C. Edmund Asshat was the first one to start doing that here by keeping lists of FReepers who supported Trump. That kind of obsessive behavior is nearly always a sign of someone refusing to acknowledge what they know will be a loss.
A “black”list. Isn’t that a racially insensitive dog-whistle term that raises unfortunate stereotypes?
Trump is flushing out the fascists from every bush! This is quite instructive
How come no one is demanding he disavow this?
Proud of the Mississippians who made this “blacklist.”
The GOP can’t die soon enough. On to a new party!
Fascist Conservative Christians are still fascists.
***There should be no abortions, period.***
You’re right. Name a single Republican who has stopped one.
If this doesn’t sound familiar and ring alarm bells for you then you don’t know your world history.
