If you look beyond Donald Trump’s comprehensive unpleasantness -- is there a disagreeable human trait he does not have? -- you might see this: He is a fundamentally sad figure. His compulsive boasting is evidence of insecurity.
His unassuageable neediness suggests an aching hunger for others’ approval to ratify his self-admiration. His incessant announcements of his self-esteem indicate that he is not self-persuaded. Now, panting with a puppy's insatiable eagerness to be petted, Trump has reveled in the approval of Vladimir Putin, murderer and war criminal.
Putin slyly stirred America's politics by saying Trump is "very ... talented," adding that he welcomed Trump's promise of "closer, deeper relations," whatever that might mean, with Russia. Trump announced himself flattered to be "so nicely complimented" by a "highly respected" man: "When people call you brilliant, it's always good."
When MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Putin "kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries," Trump replied that "at least he's a leader." Besides, Trump breezily asserted, "I think our country does plenty of killing also."
Two days later, Trump, who rarely feigns judiciousness, said: "It has not been proven that he's killed reporters."
Well. Perhaps the 56 journalists murdered were coincidental victims of amazingly random violence that the former KGB operative's police state is powerless to stop. It has, however, been "proven," perhaps even to Trump's exacting standards, that Putin has dismembered Ukraine. (Counts one and two at the 1946 Nuremberg trials concerned conspiracy to wage, and waging, aggressive war.)

They can’t figure out that Trump wouldn’t have been necessary or even been IN this thing but for the massive betrayals of the last how many years. They never thought we peasants would actually defy them with the likes of a Trump or a Cruz. We’re not obeying our masters and they are having meltdowns like spoiled children.
We can but hope, the GOPe has been nothing but a branch of the democrat party for too long!
Thanks for posting that, I had forgotten that he’d did that.
Will and his BS! If the Trumpster wins it will be the end of pubbie traitor RINOS sucha as Will, and the nation will be better off. Will calls himself a conservative; what a hoot!
Done that
Whatever happened to the first Mrs. Will? Everybody knows the whereabouts of the popular Mrs. Bill!
George Will is stupid enough to believe that the GOP is “conservative”?!?
What conservative party? Is Will calling the Republican Party a conservative party?
Pat Buchanan I believe was the first to warn about the neo-cons. It’s amazing Pat has survived in journalism for so long now.
Tump is a moderate at best, he is not a conservative.
;)
Conservative Party? CONSERVATIVE PARTIY?
What freaking Conservative Party?
Media establishment can’t believe that Trump is making them as irrelevant as Yeb and they don’t know how to say anything positive. They’ve been schlonged.
I am only in the first few days of my GOPe re-education camp......LOL!
Saving America from destruction and death by libtards will be good for America, which is what Trump wants to do. And bringing America back to life will be good for conservatives.
Trump has a work ethic, Trump understands that responding to customer concerns is the backbone of Capitalism.
Trump understands capitalism, George Will has apparently forgotten these very extremely basic concepts.
“George Will: If Trump wins the nomination, prepare for the end of the conservative party”
Right. “Conservative Party”. Nice piece of Goebbelesque propaganda there, George. There IS no conservative party. However, if by “conservative party” you’re referring to the GOP-Establishment Party of the rich and powerful plutocrat and oligarch string-pullers and their cringing, corrupt, lying, PC DC insiders, then whether Trump is nominated or not, THAT party is dead.
Either President Trump will finish dismantling the GOPe as it exists today, or if Trump is NOT the nominee, your party will disappear like snowflakes melting between your fingers. Either way, the GOPe will be dead as a DoDo bird.
We haven't done it yet. Time will tell; so many are too uninformed to do much of anything.
Most with this personality type learn how to self-control those emotions....Trump has not yet learned to do aside from his brazen responses.....which feeds also his audiences who feed back what he needs. ... But that will not work in Washington.....which is why many believe he will be a disaster if elected.
Congress will not be the stage for a New Apprentice Show, which he cannot control.
