What is so conservative about the GOP that it is worth saving?

Just so we have an opposition party?

And when weasels&quislings rule?

What then?

I listen to the various radio hosts during the day and I am too amazed how they can be so dumb about the democrat party and the republicans. It is as if they depend on others to do research and those people spend all their time on Twitter and Facebook.

Ahhhh. Now the establishment Pubbies are concerned for the conservative party, since Trump is massively ahead in the polls.

How considerate!

The Beltway crowd have no idea what ‘conservative’ is or means.

Whatever happened to the first Mrs. Will. We still have Mrs. Bill though.

I wish them a Merry Christmas and good luck on their new retirements!

Hey George, what you and your ilk forget is that YA’LL are not the party: the VOTERS are the party!

(BTW, given how early in the nomination game we are, I can’t wait to see how much further you can ratchet up your dire rhetoric. It seems like you might have peaked a bit too soon. Nonetheless, may I suggest for future columns that Trump will “salt the Earth”, “create plagues and boils”, “rain blood”, and oh, don’t forget about “hiding your women and children from Trump” either?)

Never gonna happen.

The elites in D.C. don’t mingle with the unwashed masses.

Their attitude is: “Just shut up and vote for who we tell you to vote for.”

I’m not even a Trump fan, but when those four @ssholes mentioned in that post are the measuring stick of “conservatives” in Washington, then the end of the conservative movement can’t come fast enough for me.

Hey Georgie,
Exactly what Conservative Party is that?
What have I missed? Is there really a Conervative Party hiding out somewhere? Does it have any members currently holding office? Would you name them, please?

No? I didn’t think so. I know you have to produce column-inches of copy in order to collect a paycheck; even if it’s mere psychobabble. I think we just caught you DOING that, didn’t we, Georgie?

Thanks I was not aware of this. However, it does not surprise me. In 2017, their order taker at McDee will ask if they want to super size their orders. As there will be no zero invites from Trump. They will not even get coal for Christmas.

Barack Obama took the next big step in his Republican charm offensive on Tuesday night, when he dined with several of the nation's most prominent conservative pundits.

The president-elect arrived at the Chevy Chase, Md., home of syndicated columnist George Will shortly after 6:30 p.m., according to a press pool report. Greeting him at the residence were other luminaries of the conservative commentariat, including the Weekly Standard's William Kristol, New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Charles Krauthammer columnist for the Washington Post.

“Mr. Peepers” is somewhere out in left field, we don’t have a “Conservative” party.

It might be the beginning of the end for the GOPe, but, that’s a good thing!

Amen brother!

I frankly do not care if Donald Trump is a true conservative or not.

The MSM hates him.

The Democrats hate him.

The GOP establishment hates him.

What is not to like?

“If Trump wins the nomination, prepare for the end of the CONSERVATIVE party”

A VERY EFFECTIVE tactic of the left is to REDEFINE terms to confuse opponents. This is CLEAR EXAMPLE of it.

Right now there CLEARLY is no conservative party - conservatives (and people like George Will, for that matter) know EXACTLY what the term ‘conservative’ means. They are LYING when they claim the country has a conservative party - it DOES NOT.

But the Republicans need the votes, so they’ve (fairly effectively) FAKED being conservative, to the point of having huge majorities at most levels of government. But support for OPEN BORDERS cannot be faked and is too damn important to be ignored.

They are BEING CALLED OUT now and really don’t have any response.

Reminds me of a line from Paint Your Wagon when the Mormon husband says to his wife, if you marry someone in this camp you don’t know what you’ll get. She replies, well I know what I have had.

So anything is better than what we’ve had, that is for sure.

Trump understands that responding to customer concerns is the backbone of Capitalism.

That he does...

George Will has apparently forgotten these very extremely basic concepts.

Assuming that Mr. Will actually ever knew them in the first place, which is an assumption not necessarily valid...
