Anti-Trump Conservatives Are Embracing the Liberal Critique of the Right
New Repuplic ^ | 04/196/16 | Brian Beutler

In conventional conservative doctrine, the mainstream press and much of the new media are little more than arms of Democratic Party officialdom. Also, bigotry and misogyny are no longer widespread problems, in the right’s telling—and to the extent that they still exist, they are no more prevalent on the right than on the left.

In their efforts to stop Trump, conservatives have sidelined these and other premises about American political culture, so that the generic liberal critique of conservatism might be deployed against him and him alone.

It's what's inside that counts.

Wasn’t that something.

Frankly, I found it shocking they would be that brazen.

*BRAVO*!!

I'm saving your astute post for future use when these ignorant slobs start up with their 'KELO-KELO-KELO' chant, you have said it perfectly, accurately, and are right on target.

A+++

In addition he only motivates about 8% of the voters with his shenanigans.
He’s neither a motivator or a leader, just a master-debater whose clock kept getting cleaned by Trump.

I voted for Bush twice. But he did get those Saudis out of the USA and they or their running dogs were as guilty as hell over the murder of 3,000 people.

We have laid down with Saudi dogs and we have woken up with fleas.

I loathe the Saudis.

Spoken like a true statist! Bravo.

PS: What is with your segment of Trump supporters and homoeroticism?

I remember reading about this but now I’m reminded why it was far down the list of non-important issues with Trump.

There are far more issues at stake like preserving our Constitution and freedom & liberty but jwalsh07 thinks this is funny.

We can’t help it if jwalsh07 has sided with the Cruz campaign that has now aligned itself with the anti-liberty and anti-freedom side of the spectrum. I don’t find that funny at all with Cruz’s decision to align with them and try to win this thing at all costs. There is nothing conservative about that.

Talk to MeGYMN the Vagina about “blood coming out of her whatever”. It’s all in the sewer of your mind.

Lol. The lengths you clowns go to in order to make excuses for Trumps support of property theft by government is astounding. It doesn’t matter how “stupid” the woman was. What matters is Trump supports Kelo, the illegal and unconstitutional taking of private property to feather another private citizens nest. Conservative? Hardly. Statist? You betyerass.

PS: PP does no breast cancer screening. They do not own one mammography unit. But you knew that right?

Was it your evil twin who suggested I stick something up my ass or was that just “the sewer of my mind” moron?

You can’t conserve the Constitution with a guy that does not support property rights. You are of course familiar with the “Takings Clause” of the Fifth Amendment, no?

I mean you can vote for whoever you please but try to do it with your eyes open. Trump is a moderate Democrat at best, not a conservative.
