Actually Redstate gave up its NeverTrump stance after the election, and said so publically. I just went over to the site and scrolled down the front page. There are articles that are critical of Trump and some that take his side.
I used to read over there quite a bit, and I never saw anything but conservatism from them.
I can't agree that Redstate has "gone to the dark side" because they call out Trump for turning his back on his agenda. Isn't that the right thing to do?
One of my favorite sites for balanced news and analysis is Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire. There are people here who will tell you he's a Never Trumper, even though he is on record saying otherwise. Sometimes he supports Trump, sometimes he doesn't, but he's always hell on leftists.
Obviously your brand of Conservatism is not mine. If Conservatism is toeing the line of the Establishment Republicans, then yes, Red State was Conservative back in the day. Since
@Emjay is and always has been a Bush fan, she would not have noticed the underlying manipulation there. She probably didn't know Eric at TOS back in the day and what he was all about. I am fairly certain that you do though. I wonder at your motivation sometimes.
Such as claiming that Ben Shapiro, who works for the Daily Wire, that was bought, paid for, and owned by the Wilkes brothers is to be trusted. We know he lied on National television when he told the BS story about witnessing the Lewindowski/Michelle Fields fiasco and got those of us that believed him up in arms. We know he immediately quit Breitbart because "they refused to support her." And we know the tape came out showing the truth and the truth was not the story Ben Shapiro told.
Amazingly enough, he just happened to have a job waiting in the wings. The Daily Wire! A company owned by none other than the Wilkes brothers that had give 15 million to Cruz's campaign. Good luck? Possibly. But, considering he lied through his teeth to put forth the story that Fields was attacked, a woman who has repeatedly lied about being attacked by pols before, I wonder at his motives. Why would someone with a promising career at Breitbart stick his neck out and lie in such a manner, possibly ruining his career, to bring down a political candidate? A candidate that he had been previously supporting within the last year? Unless he already had the multi-million dollar job from the Wilkes brothers waiting in the wings? Seems more plausible to me.
While I will read what he has to say, I don't consider him a pillar of Conservatism. Like Trump, he can't be trusted to speak the truth. The Daily Wire certainly isn't a site that I would consider to be a site for someone such as
@Emjay that is looking for middle of the road as opposed to NeverTrump or AlwaysTrump. Nolte left almost a month ago leaving quite the void. One could hardly call the site "balanced" even when he was still there.
