George Will exits the GOP
Hot air ^ | June 25,2016 | JAZZ SHAW

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. 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.

And what of the impact of helping elect Hillary Clinton as we “grit our teeth for four years,” as he puts it? What about the Supreme Court? He manages an answer for that question as well.

PJM asked Will about concerns among Republicans that a Hillary Clinton victory guarantees another liberal justice on the Supreme Court. In response, Will said a Republican president is not “the answer” to a conservative-leaning Supreme Court.

“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.

With all due respect to someone I have admired for a very long time, that’s got to be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard tumble out of George Will’s mouth.

This guy is an idiot, and he's certainly not conservative if he's telling "conservatives" not to support Donald Trump

Trump is not a Republican. George Will is apparently the last guy in Washington to figure out that the 2016 presidential election is being contested between a Democrat (Clinton) and an Independent (Trump) who hijacked the Republican nominating process to get on the ballot.

Didn’t he admit to voting for Obama? Not a loss, in any case.

Conservatism isn’t a value in and of itself, its an approach to values that must exist prior.

“Conservatives” who have lost their moral compass are the tail-end of a leftist dog, always arriving at the same place as the dog, just after a slight delay.

George Will is a stooge for Hillary Clinton. He will do everything he can to help her win.

When authors stop calling this simp a “conservative” is when I’ll think about reading tripe about him.

A good old fashioned purge of sclerotic fools is just what the Republican Party needs. It ought not end with Will, Sowcroft, Ryan and the Bush family.

Trump has pulled the mask off of the faces of these so called conservatives.
