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.

Yawn. These hysterical Cruzies are just trying to get attention. Don’t give it to them.

Tempest in a teapot - here’s all she means by the ill-advised term ‘blacklist’: “I’d like to remember who supported Trump so I never give any kind of credence to their judgment.” - https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/03/blackballing-those-who-endorse-trump

(Does seem kind of silly and pointless.)

If the only sin is backing Trump, its a small one.

TDS is tearing the establishment apart.

They really can’t see things objectively.

I should add by their behavior, they’ve forfeited the chance to influence Trump.

And here I always thought making friends beats making enemies.

Oh boy, am I wrong about them. They’ve lost their collective marbles and not in a good way.

The irony is they’ve become the very kind of people they’re accusing Trump of being and they don’t even notice it.

Sad.

I hereby deem this list of Amanda’s, “the twit’s list”.
She was 18 when 9/11 hit, and has no accomplishments besides journalism since then.

The “twit’s list”

“kick out of the movement, never to return.”

Pure fabrication by Breitbart. How would that even be enforced?

We have list of our own, sweetie. Fox News and all their pundits, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Rushlimbaugh, Bill Kristol, and so on. Ratings are so over. Enjoy the fruits of your treachery.

Disingenuous post, Co. Trump has always said there will be NO taxpayer money for abortions. U must be a Cruz voter. They tend to distort and twist everything Trump says.

“Blacklisted: Drudge, Coulter, Hannity, Carson, Breitbart, O’Reilly, Christie”

Was anyone paying any attention to Coulter, Hannity, O’Reilly, or Christie anyway?

Nice list - of Republican Elitists and RINOs.

Anybody remember who Ann Coulter was cheerleading big time before anybody else last time? That’s right, Romney.

Remember Christie? Yeah. He was for Romney, too.

“Trump has always said there will be NO taxpayer money for abortions.”

There should be no abortions, period.

Sore Cruzerman’s, pure and simple. After all, Cruz is their “anointed one” that will save this great nation. Others who fail to see that obvious are not worthy conservatives.

They aren’t Conservatives. End of story.
