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.

ReplyDelete“This is not my party,”....*
Funny how those words are supposed to carry some sort of Patrick Henry importance when Will utters them but not so much for the millions of voters registered to "his" party. Eff him and the motor boat he rode into town on. And btw, after that engine fell off (yes I noticed) and he has to - row it alone - hope he also finds out that the world is flat and he's off the edge.
*eff the talking heads.
ReplyDeleteGood riddence, to the presumptive asshole. I expect Krauthammer will be next, sine they are BFF's. They should've gotten as indignate when the party was nominating rino's.

Hope the door hits him in the ass on the way out..
ReplyDeleteIts not about the Republicans or the Clintons and their known bent - its about Trump, the elitist, liberal, fascist bastard and what his 4th grade level rants will translate to once he gets the power. My vote is really meaningless, but neither Donald nor Hillary will not get my vote. Real conservatives will not elect Trump because he is a dangerous mental case and the sometimes-conservatives-turned-populists will be regret his election.

gadfly, you miss the point (our point, anyway) which is it's too fkn late to allow establishment GOPs to play "it's our turn." We're talking revolution. Eight years ago I'd have been Cruz all the way, even though he'd have had have no better chance then than he did this time. Without Trump, Jeb Bush would top the 2016 ticket. Trump is probably the only man alive with the fire, and the resources and the right moment to go toe-to-toe with the GOPe. And win. A political bloodbath is way better than the civil war, or capitulation to the one worlders who are now screaming like stuck pigs. I mean all this in the good way.
ReplyDeleteThis gives me a case if DGAS (don't hive a $hit).
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous at 6:37 a.m.: "DGAS" is a luxury you won't be able to enjoy for much longer. You can ignore politics only until it comes knocking on your door at midnight (as it did, literally, for the Tutsis of Rwanda).
ReplyDeleteTo gadfly: After all the advice we got to "hold your nose and vote for McCain" or "hold your nose and vote for Romney", why can't you just hold your nose and vote for Trump, if only to save our nation from a "progressive" Supreme Court and the rest of the way Hillary will continue (and ramp up) the Obama agenda?
When Hitler was elected, his opponents said, "We'll just wait and vote him out in the next election." But there was no "next election"!
@Juice, What engine? I saw a pompous twit lose his balance while trying to shove his head further up and fall overboard. Kinda like Fredo's last scene except no one put a gun to his head. --General Petty Officer Fifth Class Skyhawker Doug
ReplyDeleteSo George Will went from Republican registration to no party affiliation. Fine. I did that about three years ago. The only negative, if that's what it is, is that I don't vote in the primary.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, I left the Republican Party because of the GOPe, candidates like McCain and Romney, and pundits like George Will. I'll vote for Trump even though I don't completely trust him. But whatever he does, it will be a lot better than having Attila The Hen for four or eight years.
