As a Reluctant Trumper, I think all of this is wrong and Thank God for Ricochet
Is from David French on the BS he has had to put up with. One of the things I most hate about this election, is that everything the left does wrong, is now on the right too.

The denouncement and the statement that “the denouncement game is a silly game,” should be made together.
“Of course I think that David Duke is a bad guy. But there is no reason for me to denounce him because I have nothing to do with him. Next question.”
Denouncing is a tool of the left for the gullible on the right. We seem to have an endless supply of gullibles.
Keep doing it with all the Democrat grievance groups. You will get tired denouncing people before the Democrats get tired of demanding that you do so.
He is just such an idiot he goes for bigger bait like starting a twitter war over Miss Universe. He doesn’t have the time to go after little bait when there is far larger bait to take.
He can’t resist responding to the master baiters.
Says the guy supporting the big government crony capitalist.
Like I left the GOP as a member, I also forswore belonging to Conservatism Inc.,
I identify as an American Nationalist who believes in the private sector for most things and government when necessary. When it is necessary, I want it to big enough to be incredibly effective.
Unlike some, I play the hand dealt to me.
Now explain all your votes for big government crony capitalists up to now. Maybe after you figure out who to denounce next.
Google has found me this., which may be what inspired the anecdote I was told. From it:
And this, which may also be the source.
This particular woman was allowed to stay, after the story got media attention.
I compare and contrast the differing treatment given to foreigners who are brought here from Syria, or arrive here from Central America, after passing through Mexico.
They are given a cornucopia of free stuff,no questions asked. Others aren’t so lucky.
Again, some people are more equal than others, regardless of the onus of the law.
History goes on forever. Venezuela wasn’t a starving hellhole when Chavez took over, or perhaps even when he died, but it sure is now.
The problem with Hillary isn’t merely her. It’s her radical supporters, which includes a wide assortment of totalitarians, thugs, perverts, and other people who shouldn’t be anywhere political power.
But they are, thanks to the numb incompetence of the GOP. I remind you that Hillary and her campaign have already been involved with inciting violence at Trump rallies, and has promised to overturn a Supreme Court decision that permitted criticism of her.
That’s now, before they’ve even been able to shutdown talk radio and stifle internet criticism. I have to wonder just what the country will look like after a few more years of radical leftist governance, with continued appointment of radical judicial appointments and the continued hiring of radical leftists to fill the federal bureaucracy.
I suspect it won’t be so neat and clean to oppose them later.
But I hope to be wrong.
Which is one of the reasons that he is unfit for office.
That would have been a fine Trump answer. But he didn’t chose to answer that way did he?
I think the left’s dislike or like should be immaterial. When confronted with a real, actual racist view you should denounce it as a matter of course and pay no mind to what any leftist thinks.
Why only racist views? Are you condoning homophobia, Islamophobia, sexism, ageism, discrimination against the disabled, religious discrimination, discrimination against the homeless, discrimination against the transgendered, discrimination against felons, discrimination against the unemployed, discrimination against the obese . . . ?
The left is wrong not because those things aren’t problems, but because they (the left) define them too loosely.
It sounds like you want us to deny that bigotry even exists because to do otherwise makes us “Democrat-lite.”
The only thing I want us to deny are the never-ending demands made by our enemies for ritual denunciations of kookery.
So we’re not allowed to denounce Hillary Clinton?
Ban the box!
If any of those groups organized and supported me and attacked critics of mine I would certainly denounce them since I would make clear their support of me made no sense. If these groups did not support me nor were organized I would not and would not need to bother and denounce them or deny them. What I would not do is make is sound like I welcomed such supporters or cozy up with them.
It’s the thread that never eeeeeeends……it just goes on and on my frieeeeends!
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
Did I make post#500?
Edit: Yes!
Congrats!
So what is more important the #500th post or the last post?
We should get a prize. Like a round of drinks for everyone. Or ice cream.
And by so doing, also accept the questioner’s premise that they were your organized supporters. Wonderful.
Whatever floats your particular boat I would suppose.
No they already claimed to be my supporters. I would be giving them the boot. Kicking them to the curb and ends the issue. Playing cute with the whole thing or even encouraging them feeds the story and makes people think that you want racists support and are willing to court it.
Again by your logic NR brought the Birchers into the Conservative movement but in fact they ushered them out of the Conservative movement.
