Bulwark origin as never-Trump aggregator
The Bulwark grew out of a 2017-2018 idea for a 'never-Trump Drudge Report' aggregator of anti-Trump conservatives, which was abandoned in favor of hiring displaced Weekly Standard staff after that publication was shut down for being insufficiently pro-Trump.
