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.

George Will Jumps the Shark

'This Is Not My Party': George Will Goes from GOP to Unaffiliated WASHINGTON – Conservative columnist George Will told PJM he has officially left the Republican Party and urged conservatives not to support presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump even if it leads to a Democratic victory in the 2016 presidential election. “Sure, but I’m also concerned with the fact that I do not really believe Republicans think clearly enough about what they really want in judges. Republicans have given us Earl Warren, Brennan, John Paul Stevens, Burger, who was kind of mediocre, Blackmun. Having a Republican president is not an answer in itself,” he said. ** Will, who writes for the Washington Post, acknowledged it is a “little too late” for the Republican Party to find a replacement for Trump but had a message for Republican voters. “Make sure he loses. Grit their teeth for four years and win the White House,” Will said during an interview after his speech at a Federalist Society luncheon. Will said he changed his voter registration this month from Republican to “unaffiliated” in the state of Maryland. “This is not my party,” Will said during his speech at the event. He mentioned House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) endorsement of Trump as one of the factors that led him to leave the party. Will, a Fox News contributor, said a “President Trump” with “no opposition” from a Republican-led Congress would be worse than a Hillary Clinton presidency with a Republican-led Congress. [Full Tripe] Oh my, just after I congratulated Mr. Will for  A Progressive's Guide to Political Correctness; he changes his underpants again.  Let's start with his "Republicans have given us Earl Warren, Brennan, John Paul Stevens, Burger, who was kind of mediocre, Blackmun .." But, they've also given us Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.  Name a single instance where a Democrat president has appointed a justice who was not a far-left ideologue.  Here's a good comment I found on Free Republic. Grit your teeth for four years and endure Hillary Clinton instead???? Grit your teeth and endure three or four new liberal young radical Supreme Court justices, who are just itching to impose liberalism on us at every turn?? Grit your teeth and endure dozens of new young radical judges appointed to the lower federal courts by Hillary?? Grit your teeth and endure more global warming hysteria, push for socialized medicine, LGBT wet dream policies??? Grit your teeth for four years?? IT COULD easily become eight years, assuming Hillary gets reelected. And 8 years of Hillary will only compound all that I’ve mentioned, plus others things she will do. But all of that is preferable to voting for the Republican candidate chosen by Republican voters.  Got it George. You make perfect sense. (sarcasm) What is it that Will sees Trump doing that terrifies him more than a President Hillary?  Srsly. Is it Trump's  pledge to  enforce our borders?  His pledge to evict illegals?  His pledge to treat the radical Islamo threat with appropriate action (like deporting threats and limiting immigration?)  WHAT George? That aside, I am mindful of Mr Jefferson's instructions re: future generations: Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of nineteen years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force, and not of right. It may be said, that the succeeding generation exercising, in fact, the power of repeal, this leaves them as free as if the constitution or law had been expressly limited to nineteen years only. I have to admit then, that now, in my dotage, I am mostly about schadenfreude. I hate Barack Obamunist's  rule. Hell, I hate Barry's very presence in our country.  I hate what Left Liberals have done  to my country. Since we are all more or less shackled to our own life experiences for understanding, I am thus bound to a continued affirmation of what the "American Dream" means, and what my duties as a citizen are to protect the principles behind it. They do happen to be consistent with what  Americans have felt for a few hundred years.  I'm then also pretty much bound by honor to, at least see merit in William C. Bradford's solution (or at least his reasoning). And screw George Will. (I did say  schadenfreude)
