Just more proof that the likes of Little George think that he and his fellow Establishment GOP (eGOP) run the party and not the voters. Screw the eGOP.
George,
Be careful what you wish for...
If wishes were horses
This is the real issue that George Will and his cronies don’t want to say: They are upset because they no longer control the narrative. They have no purpose with a Trump candidate nor, I hope, with a Trump Presidency. It’s a brave new world and you’re not a part of it.
Hey George.....you’re a pompous arse who thinks waaaay too much of himself. Go pound sand!
If it came to a vote, I’m sure most Republicans would throw George Will out first. I’m not a Trump guy, but I’d join a “tar & feather” party for Will...
Now that this is clearly not the case, look for the long knives to come out.
There is really no difference at all between establishment Republicans and the Democrats. Donald Trump represents the biggest threat to their power structure since Ronald Reagan.
Once we get past Labor Day and if Trump is still leading the polls by double digits, we are going to see hundreds of millions of dollars expended in anti-Trump ads. Mostly by Republican PACs.
It is going to be a very nasty campaign.
There is a lot of ammunition out there on Trump as well. Anybody who has even casually followed Trump over the years will know that there is no end to the juicy stories concerning his business dealings and personal affairs. We are going to hear about little old ladies tossed out of their homes, working people tossed out of their jobs by Trump companies gone bankrupt, nasty divorce proceedings, you name it.
The funny thing is, Trump supporters probably aren't going to be budged. With each revelation, people will say that it's just "Trump being Trump" and they will go on to say "maybe this is the kind of many we need in Washington."
In other words, Trump may just be inoculated against the kind of assault coming his way. Think about it, even here on Free Republic, we have a band of anti-Trumpers who post here every single day and on every single thread about what a bad man Donald Trump is and how we are being fooled. But they are getting no love here.
I think the reason for that is that the American people are fed up with politicians in general. Especially conservatives. Trump may not be the pristine conservative we are looking for but consider that the conservatives we did send to Washington on our behalf have done absolutely nothing for us.
Can anybody name ONE conservative victory since we gave the GOP control of Congress? Was there even one time when the GOP establishment successfully went against Obama on any issue at all?
Donald Trump is the street fighter we have been looking for. He had rocked the establishment back on their heels. The media don't know how to handle him. Trump is breaking all the rules and he's clearly not going to roll over and be just another "go along to get along" Republican. Crossing the aisle isn't even in Trump's vocabulary.
The anti-Trumpers proclaim we are be had and that we are making a colossal mistake. But what is the alternative? Jebbie Bush? Even if we can get Ted Cruz the nomination, does anybody really think he'll beat the Democrat? I like Ted Cruz a lot but I don't think he has the street fighting skills that are going to be required to beat a Democrat in the general election, especially with the Democrat GOTV social media driven machine, that completely swamped the witless Mitt Romney last time around.
Trump already has four million Twitter followers and will pass Shrillary Clinton in followers in 2-3 weeks at the current rate. Mitt Romney never got much higher than a million and that was at the peak of the election cycle (Obama had over 50 million by comparison). At this rate, Trump will have his 50 million and then some come November 2016.
Trump is certainly not the perfect choice but he's the best chance we have to move the needle in Washington.
And I want a Corvette.
George Will would be best sticking to the “No Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame” narrative.
I want the GOP to go the way of the Whigs
Similar to the Whigs inability/unwillingness to confront slavery, the GOP’s inability/unwillingness to address the illegal alien inundation will lead to their destruction.
No one is representing the 65% of the citizens that want the borders and laws enforced.
Nature abhors a vacuum.
George will needs to be thrown out of the republican Party nothing but a lightweight piece of Appartachik of the establishment republicans! Okay i am starting to consider Donald trump, BUT the word is ‘starting’.
Will has a very small brain. Too small to be let out on his own. Someone, please give him a hand. He needs help.
Why are you posting something that is over 2 weeks old and very old news...?
I can remember Nancy Reagan and George Will having lunch at the Yellow Brick Bank in Shepherdstown, WV. I always wondered if she was getting her husband’s critics in line.
who’s daughter works for Hillary
**
should be “whose daughter”
who’s = who is
He never said a word when Bloomberg was claiming to be republican.
Boring statist asshat. Get lost, George.
