Republicans Better Off Losing by Landslide, George Will Says
ABC News ^ | Nov 1, 2016 | Melina Delkic

FBI Director James Comey's announcement of the discovery of possibly new Hillary Clinton emails last Friday appears to have shaken up national polls, narrowing the gap between the two candidates. But Will said a narrow defeat would fuel "the old stab-in-the-back theory," with party members blaming Trump dissenters like House Speaker Paul Ryan and Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse for dividing Republicans.

The best thing that could happen after this election, whether Trump wins or loses, is that the Republican Party is dead.

I think he’s saying that if she wins, it is best if she wins by a landslide.

I get his logic, but I expect Trump to win by a landslide. I mean, if election results are reported early he could even win California, if only because the Hillary voters don’t bother to vote and the Trump supporters want to, now that the knife has been inserted, give it a good twist.

George Will should be focusing on which pasture he would like to eternally graze when he’s forced out to it.

They are "fair weather conservatives," conservative when that road is easy, but turn-coats when it proves difficult.

No, he’s just trying to prevent the loss of his career if Trump loses. He and a lot of other pundits will have their careers ended if Trump wins and carries out the promised housekeeping.

The GOP is clearly better off if the Democrats lose in a landslide.

If we lose big, we’re supposed to come back to our globalist masters in the GOP and grovel for them to forgive us for running away from the plantation?

FU George Will.

Said like a true Uniparty Leader supporting his party’s candidate and hoping for a mandate to impose her policies.
