It is called "Living in a Bubble"  In this case, a "NeverTrump" bubble

Throwing memes like "never trump" and "bubbles" is all you Trumpets have.  You never directly respond on whether this orange fool is a conservative or not.   Calling us detractors "not conservative" is the ultimate of irony.

I've never seen "winners" as bitter as those that backed Trump to the hilt.

Two things not even addressed by the story.

1) Has the traffic at Breitbart changed?

2) Has advertising revenue at Breitbart changed?

Yes to #2.  I don't know about #1.

Over 400 major businesses have come out and said they will not allow their advertisements at Breitbart.

Breitbart was once the most reliable conservative site.  Since Bannon took over and turned it into a propaganda arm for Trump, the site is no longer reliable or conservative. 

For the umpteenth time -- Trump has never been, nor is he now, a true conservative.  Those who say he has changed from his liberal ways are either delusional or lying through their teeth.

Not only is he not a "true conservative," he's not any kind of conservative.

I've noticed the assault tactic of the Trump brigade is now to attack disagreement with Trump as lack of conservatism, when, on this forum, the opposite is true.

IOW, they're getting more dishonest as time goes by.

What are they going to do next, attack non Trump people as immoral?

"Irony" is not the right word.

"Deceit" is the right word.

Trump is not now, nor ever will be one bit conservative, and that is the reason he is opposed by so many on this forum.

I warned that, if Trump won, he and his would define Conservatism for a generation.  And that's EXACTLY what is happening.  It's a rehash of the Southern Democrat views from the 1960s.

You're right.

The Conservative movement will not likely recover from this assault by Trump in my lifetime.

The Republican party definitely won't.

And as I warned back in the beginning that when we adopt the tactics of the left we face a real danger of becoming them. Its the whole "Ends justify the means attitude".

Lying to beat the democrats became lying to beat anyone who stands in the way.

I'm already referring to myself as a Federalist so no one thinks I'm a Trump "conservative".

I like the term 'Classic Liberal'.  For liberals generally nod and are too stupid to know what that actually means.

The downside is that just as many 'conservatives' are too stupid to know what that means.

---

From the Mises Institute:

"Classical liberalism" is the term used to designate the ideology advocating private property, an unhampered market economy, the rule of law, constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion and of the press, and international peace based on free trade.

Of course, this is in direct contravention to Trump's 'conservatism'.

Not a bad idea.

The Conservative "brand" is now tainted.  It means nothing any more because it stands for nothing.

I check Breitbart everyday. I may not agree with all articles they post and I didn't like the over the top support for Trump, but it is a good site to get information.

Haven't been there, or to Drudge for that matter, in over a year.
Won't be back.

Trump is not a conservative, never claimed to be, so let's stop this nonsense that he's sullying the brand. Trump has always been a nationalist. He himself has no control over a brand he already disowned.

It's the Republican Party, which claimed to be the bulwark of conservatism but has blatantly cast aside its own values to line up behind Trump and preserve its hand in the two-party duopoly, that is sullying the brand.

I liked Breitbart.
I did for a long time.
I thought it was a great conservative site.
But, something did change when they went all in for Trump.
Not only did they lose their objectivity, they started making things up.
One example was a photograph of a HUGE Trump rally in Florida.

The only problem:

The photo was of the Cleveland Cavaliers victory parade.

As far as Brietbart is concerned?

See my post, # 43.

If this is the new Conservatism, count me out.

That and running with pictures of vast bikers for Trump rallies that 60 seconds of research easily debunked as being photos of Rolling thunder rallies from recent years.

Well, I look at his cabinet picks, and I compare them to the list of Hillary's picked that was just leaked.  Perhaps he's not "a" conservative, but to this point, he certainly appears a hell of a lot more conservative than was the alternative.
Conservative is as conservative does. Either you are Conservative or you aren't, it isn't a matter of moral relativism. Comparing Trump to the postulated Hillary's coulda shoulda woulda to call him Conservative is bogus.
