The Albatross of Having Endorsed Trump
National Review ^ | 2/28/2016 | George Will

Posted on 02/29/2016 6:58:09 AM PST by LouD

Donald Trump’s distinctive rhetorical style — think of a drunk with a bullhorn reading aloud James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake under water — poses an almost insuperable challenge to people whose painful duty is to try to extract clarity from his effusions. For example, last week, during a long stream of semi-consciousness in Fort Worth, this man who as president would nominate members of the federal judiciary vowed to “open up” libel laws to make it easier to sue — to intimidate and punish — people who write “negative” things. Well. Trump, the thin-skinned tough guy, resembles a campus crybaby who has wandered out of his “safe space.”

Trump is a presidential aspirant who would flunk an eighth-grade civics exam. More than anything Marco Rubio said about Trump in Houston, it was Rubio’s laughter at Trump that galled the perhaps bogus billionaire. Like all bullies, Trump is a coward, and like all those who feel the need to boast about being strong and tough, he is neither....

“Trump vows to use litigiousness to improve the accuracy and decorousness of public discourse.”

FINALLY. The GOPe and the left has ALWAYS SAID that the public ABHORS bickering...now Trump will end it. Why are they complaining?

As far as accuracy, I’m not about to defend the Mainstream Media after what happened in 2004, when Dan Rather attempted a COUP against President Bush, and Bush was only VERY LUCKY to have survived it. Rather should have been JAILED FOR LIFE for that - in any functional country, he would have. But no, not here, he’s considered an ‘elder statesman’.

Hopefully Trump makes them FINALLY start to report the news, rather than lobby against Republicans and ESPECIALLY CONSERVATIVES.
