What started as the Big Conservative Donald Trump Dictionary is now The Right's Trump Lexicon.

It is still a work in progress, but I find that it no longer fits inside even the broadest satirical framework, if it ever did; hence, the name change. There is nothing, but nothing, to poke "fun" at here. There is much, however, to poke a stick at.   

More to come.

"I heard once that people suffering from seriously advanced chlamydia (a kind of infection—and any kind of infection can lead to death) tend, in the end stage, to lose their bearings, to lurch and ramble, and to say things that are inconsistent and incoherent.

Daily Called writer Scott Greer pointed out in "National Review Writer: Working Class Communities `Deserve to Die,'": "While Williamson blames the people living in run-down white communities for their own woes, he does not apply the same principle to run-down minority communities. In his book and articles on the failures of Detroit, for instance, the National Review writer blames “progressivism” and unions for ruining the predominately African-American city." (See "A is for Ape," "M is for Masturbate," etc., etc.)

-- Charles Murray, quoted in the New Yorker, "The Dilemma of Conservatives Who Say They Will Never Vote for Trump," February 26, 2016

D is for Diarrhea

"Fact-checking Donald Trump is like picking up after a dog with diarrhea."

E is for Epuration Sauvage

E is for Erdogan

And it’s about more than incitement. As David has been chronicling, Trump’s top campaign guy, Corey Lewandowski, has been credibly accused of manhandling Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields. In case you haven’t noticed, one of the main tactics that has transformed Turkey, before our very eyes, from a reasonably democratic society into an authoritarian Islamist state is Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s green-light to his underlings to intimidate, assault, shut down, imprison, and trump up prosecutions against members of the press.

-- Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review, March 12, 2016 (see "S is for Sharia," "S is for Saudi Sheikh," etc.).

-- Ian Tuttle, William F. Buckley Fellow in Political Journalism at the National Review Institute, National Review (see "P is for Prostitute," "R is for Rats," etc.).

F is for Filth

"Trump’s schtick as a sprinkler system of insults is getting everyone dirty. He throws mud on anything and anyone in his way. But that muck washes off quite easily. What stains down to the soul is the eagerness to apologize for, or even celebrate, the filth."

-- Jonah Goldberg, National Review (See M is for Mouth-breathing anti-Semites," etc.)

F is for Flames

"He goes into the White House on January 20th, 2017, and the entire world goes up in flames, because he is so noxious.”

-- John Podhoretz, editor, Commentary, on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" (see "C is for Crime," etc.). 

F is for Frankenstein Monster

"He is, rather, the party’s creation, its Frankenstein monster, brought to life by the party, fed by the party and now made strong enough to destroy its maker."

-- Robert Kagan, The Washington Post

F is for Forever Learn Their Lesson

“It’s important that Donald Trump and what he represents – this kind of ethnic, quote, ‘conservatism,’ or populism, be so decisively rebuked that the Republican Party, the Republican voters, will forever learn their lesson that they cannot nominate a man so manifestly unqualified to be president in any way, shape or form,” he said. “So they have to learn a lesson in the way perhaps Democrats learned from [George] McGovern in ’72. George Will said let’s have him lose in 50 states. Why not Guam, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, too?”

-- Commentary assistant online editor Noah Rothman tweeting on Super Tuesday.

H is for Hardcore Porn

"Trump’s Immigration Plan Is Hardcore Porn For Nativists," August 19, 2015

-- headline over article by David Harsanyi at The Federalist. It opens: 

Donald Trump is porn for nativists. Now, a person can derive much political self-gratification from wishful thinking, but remember porn isn’t real. So enjoy daydreaming about mass deportations and visualizing the repeal of birthright citizenship, but don’t let yourself get desensitized to reality....

-- TV host  Glenn Beck on his radio show, reported January 22, 2016

I is for Incontinence/Incontent

-- Rush Limbaugh

2. "First @realDonaldTrump won't release his taxes. Now he won't level with America about his panic incontinence problem."

-- Rick Wilson, GOP consultant/commentator, via Twitter (see "A is for Anal," etc.)

3. “The fact of the matter is that this is a party who had an opportunity this year to show Hispanics an interesting, diverse, compelling party. Instead, what we’re going to show them is a 70-year-old verbally incontinent white man from Queens who bellows about brown people.”

-- Rick Wilson, GOP consultant/commentator, Rubio supporter, quoted in The New Republic, March 14, 2016 (see "B is for Bullet," "M is for Masturbate," etc., etc.).

-- Brett Stephens, Wall Street Journal, on CNN, May 29, 2016 (see "A is for Appalling," etc.)

Make note of his stubby fingers and small hands -- we all know what that means."

M is for Monster

-- Rick Wilson, GOP/Rubio advisor, March 15, 2016 (see so much awful stuff)

M is for Moron

I don’t think that Trump can win, frankly, because I don’t think there are enough morons to elect him. A certain percentage of the American public is just morons; that’s the way it is. When you divide the public in two then divide the voters in one of those halves among five candidates or more, a candidate can win by dominating the moron votebecause it only takes about one-seventh of the total population to take the “lead” under those circumstances.

But when you’re talking about needing 51 percent of the whole population [sic], rather than needing 30 percent of half of the population, you run out of morons. I hope we will. I hope Trump will lose, because I hope he runs out of moronsto vote for him.

-- opening line of "Thin-Skinned Tyrant" by Andrew McCarthy, National Review, Fox guest

S is for Sheikh

"I wouldn't put him in the Oval Office, but he has the makings of a fine Saudi Sheikh."

-- closing line of "Think-Skinned Tyrant" by Andy McCarthy, National Review, Fox guest, bringing to mind former Fox part-owner and Murdoch business partner, Saudi Alwaleed bin Talal -- perhaps not the final image McCarthy had in mind.  

In between opening and closing lines, the former prosecutor argues that Trump's decision to skip the umpteenth debate is due to single debate question five months ago.

Whoops, he omits Fox official snark and nightly drubbing:

Exerpt: Wallace was a hideous racist who appealed to racists, but also crystallized a deeper anger and discontent with a country that had gone soft and wasn’t winning anymore. He obviously wasn’t a statesman who took these popular passions and refined them, but a demagogue who exploited them and made them more base. The same is true of Trump.
