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.
