George Will: Trump Demonstrated How One Man with ‘Lack of Conscience’ Can Change America for the Worse
Breitbart ^ | 09/17/2021 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/17/2021 11:33:45 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

MSNBC political commentator and author George Will said Friday on “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that former president Donald Trump demonstrated how rapidly one man with a “lack of conscience” can change the entire tone of public life for the worse.

Mitchell said, “In your new book, you write that it has been well said that the United States is the only nation founded on a good idea, the proposition that people should be free to pursue happiness as they define it. In recent years, however, happiness has been elusive for this nation in which too many people think and act as tribes and define their happiness as some other tribe’s unhappiness. How do we get out of this predicament?”

Will said, “Well, the good news is inherent in the bad news. The bad news is that Donald Trump demonstrated how to rapidly one man with feral cunning and a demigod’s lack of conscience can change the entire tone of public life. But if one man can change it for the worse, another person can come along and change it for the better. That’s the challenge for some Republicans to step forward and say to the country, deep breath, we are not enemies, and we must not be enemies. That’s the language from Lincoln’s first inaugural. I think the country would sigh with relief and be so happy to find the politics that they can shove to the side of their lives and not have consumed with all this kind of nastiness that percolates into their living rooms by this wonderful medium of television.”

Me: “Well, the good news is inherent in the bad news. The bad news is that Joe Biden demonstrated how to rapidly one man with feral cunning and a demigod’s lack of conscience can change the entire tone of public life. But if one man can change it for the worse, another person can come along and change it for the better. That’s the challenge for some renegade Democrats, assuming any are left, to step forward and say to the country, deep breath, we are not enemies, and we must not be enemies. That’s the language from Lincoln’s first inaugural. I think the country would sigh with relief and be so happy to find the politics that they can shove to the side of their lives and not have consumed with all this kind of nastiness (Antifa, etc.) that percolates into their living rooms by this soul-killing medium of television.”

No, he was never sensible.

He was the Left’s fake conservative.

In other words, he was not at all conservative, but when the Left needed a “conservative” to make their panel appear balanced, they invited him on their show and introduced him as “Acclaimed conservative journalist, George Will”, or some such baloney.

George Will was always a pretend conservative.
A liar which makes him a democrat.

I don’t pay much attention to that bed wetting, piss-ant George Will. He needs to get some good post-menopausal medicine and stay home with his cats.

Let me put it another way; RINO’s have been enriching themselves by fleecing the taxpayers and whoring themselves out to special interests hence the knee-pads. So... to shut them up, give them gobs of money and knee-pads. Capeesh?

How in the hell will that shut them up, since you would be further ENABLING their behavior? Kapeesh? And where are WE gonna get the gobs of money and wherewithal to affect these corruptocrats in the opposite way? And why would we WANT to? We need to excise the problem at its root, not encourage its growth. Kapeesh?

Unlabelled satire is often craptire, such as in this case with your unclear style of writing.

I’m not going to buy George Will’s book in order to find out, but I wonder what specific examples he gives to show that Trump, as President, was so singularly horrible

Put a sock in it, GeoWill, you nasty old dweeb. Go pin your bowties to a board, like a butterfly collection.

The prisoners in the Gulag cried when Stalin died.

If George Will were there, he would have been the guy passing out the Kleenex.

Hard to believe I saw him when he was the Keynote Speaker at the CPAC Reagan Dinner back during W’s Term.

Come to think of it, that was the same year at CPAC that I had a great Conversation with Michael Steele, long before he turned to the dark side of the Force.

Funny how some People you once respected are so easily swayed by the Left. It’s like they just spent some time in Room 101.
