Romney is busy planning a 3rd Party candidate right now to throw the elction to Hillary. Probably going to be this Sasse stooge, IMO.
“George Will is rapidly becoming irrelevant.
It is about time.”
__________________________________
You can almost visualize him being pushed off the cliff of relevance. His protests get louder as the edge approaches.
Will = establishment, country club RINO.
Opinion = means little.
Sadly, the National Review is marginalizing itself. No doubt its editors and writers will find some sympathy and solace at J Street gatherings within the beltway.
“And Will is an arrogant, elitist, and pompous ass that is what caused the rise of Trump.””
That is correct, but in this case he is spot on. Once people listened to Trump a bit and still follow him, they are blindly emotional, ill-informed and are acting like Obamabots.
“Now the old libel law used to be (that) you're responsible, you say something false that harms somebody’s reputation, we don't care if it was told to you by nine bishops, you are liable,” Scalia continued. “New York Times v. Sullivan just cast that aside because the Court thought in modern society, it'd be a good idea if the press could say a lot of stuff about public figures without having to worry. And that may be correct, that may be right, but if it was right it should have been adopted by the people. It should have been debated in the New York Legislature and the New York Legislature could have said, ‘Yes, we're going to change our libel law.’ But the living constitutionalists on the Supreme Court, the Warren Court, simply decided, ‘Yes, it used to be that ... George Washington could sue somebody that libeled him, but we don’t think that's a good idea any more.’”
This is what Trump was talking about, he wasn't seeking anything new, just a return to what the founding fathers knew to be true.
He is a Howard Baker republican who always has and always will be establishment. I seem to remember a column where he referred to Trump supporters as drunks in a bar? He never was this full throat against Obama. In fact he had him at his house for a confab with other “conservatives” like Brooks and Krauthammer. To me he’s a snob that looks down on people who are not in his social class
Yeh too bad Trump can’t be more like Mitt and McStain. LOL!
Yet the “buffoon” is beating Ted Cruz like a rented mule. Doesn’t say much about Cruz, IMO. What a failure he is.
Put on your bow-tie, Loud. You look a lot like George Will.
You said...
“ Trump is not above criticism.”
His supporters disagree. And those who oppose Trump don’t base it on tabloid type rumors but his own words and positions both past and present.
If one chooses to vote for Trump that’s their business. What we’re trying to do is at least make them aware of who he really is or may end up being and it may conflict with what they’ve created in their minds he’ll be
Just out of curiosity, how did Perot govern?
So cry baby is measured criticism rather than a personal attack like the kind we complain that liberals make? The article is comprised of solely of personal attack and smears. The author is unhinged because someone is threatening his safe space. The GOP thought they owned us and the freedom train is leaving the station.
Not Cruz and Rubio. Do em all.
From when SNL was funny and good: Being & Becoming (George F. Will's Sports Machine)
“Rubio’s epiphany — announcing the obvious with a sense of triumphant discovery — about Trump being a “con man” and a “clown act””
“con man”???
Go sell that to the mighty, august banks that have profitably loaned Trump large sums of money over the years...
Were they so stupid as to be “conned” for decades?
Go sell that to the competitors he has in one of the toughest market in the world...
Were they so stupid as to be “conned” for decades?
Go sell that to the people of New York who see New York’s changed look due to Trump’s building career...
Are they so stupid as to believe their lying eyes?
George Will comes across as a bitter old womanish RINO.
“Trump is the only effective advocate”
The problem is what he is advocating. Will is a beltway bore, but even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. In this particular case, he is spot on.
Ask yourself this....will a Trump presidency be better than the passed 7 plus years of the Obama presidency?
