George Will you 'spalin yourself?

George Will Trump violated their sense of what the Republican Party represents.

Will conservatives in the GOP stand up to Trump? Donald Trump is notable among recent Republican presidential nominees in his talent for alienating conservatives. Those who disowned him during the campaign include three former chairmen of the Republican National Committee, House members Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Justin Amash of Michigan, and commentators George Will, Charles Krauthammer and William Kristol. It's safe to say that four years ago, none of them could have imagined refusing to vote for the 2016 GOP presidential nominee. Trump violated their sense of what the Republican Party represents, and they and many other people on the right couldn't accept him at the top of the ticket. [FULL] "Trump violated their sense of what the Republican Party represents." Which is what? I don't mean in theory; I mean in practice.  Since Reagan, (and even then, the GOP establishment tempered him with good old boy George Bush) the GOP, as a lot, have behaved like self serving Quislings who can't find a principle they're not willing sacrifice. What I call the GOP wing of the Democrat Party.  Will examples as much. When President George W. Bush proposed to add prescription drug coverage to Medicare — the biggest new federal entitlement since the 1960s — the House Republican leadership did everything it could to push its members into line, and they got it passed. Bye the By, I long ago scissored my GOP membership card; voting for them, for the most part, as the better of two evils.  I don't know what Will thinks the GOP represent, and I don't think he does ether. That Democrats are so fearful of Donald Trump that even now "Academics push Clinton to seek recount" means he is at least on the right track.
