It's hard to know where to begin with this gross misinformation. Let's start with the fact that we work closely with murderous dictators every day and have been doing so for as long as I have been alive and longer I'm sure. The simple fact is, only a mad man suggests "punching the Russians in the nose" as Kasich did or looks for opportunities to shoot their jets down in no fly zones as Chris Cristie suggests, especially when they're conducting air operations against actual murderous facsists-namely ISIS.
In fact, given the murderous barbaric heinous acts of cruelty perpetrated by ISIS and Obama's increasingly obvious reluctance to deal with them so long as they serve his purposes in Syria, I don't think George Will has any business accusing Donald Trump of cozying up to murderers. Trump is laying the foundation of peace. George Will and his ilk are undermining that foundation.
I suppose it's also worth mentioning that Will is hardly the unwavering voice of true conservatism and actually has a reputation of attacking and undermining conservatives. He attacked Newt Gingrich in 2011 and helped Romney secure the nomination. He attacked Sarah Palin 2007. he attacked Ann Coulter in 2013. He is also an atheist, is opposed to the death penalty, supports amnesty, and supports drug legalization.
Do the math.

There actually is a Conservative Party, IIRC.
Other than that — what the heck is he talking about?

Never trust a pompous ass with a bow tie. Uttering ‘conservative’ and his name in the same sentence is grammatical heresy.

“the bastion of Conservatism”??? Who’s, the Wapo’s? I always thought it was Limbaugh.

Evidence shows Conservatives have no real say in the agenda of the Republican party.

I didn’t think I would need a sarcasm tag for that one.

Geroge Will,s pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage Marxist version deserves to die.

When George Will says “Conservative”, he means “Chamber of Commerce Cheap Labor Express”.

End of the Conservative party? NO! The end of the GOPe party of republicrats, one could hope. But with the election of Trump or Cruz, one would hope for a rebirth of a Conservative party.

And with a Jeb nomination, we get a continuance of the RINO party?

It is Limbaugh, and the Institute For Conservative Studies. This jackass WaPo jackal should have to spend a few weeks there. The Republican Party ceased being a conservative enclave more than a decade ago. Enabling the globalist banking oligarchy's agenda is not conservatism.

If Trump wins the nomination, prepare for the end of the conservative party Drama much? Based on the last 7 years or more, what is the name of this fantasy "conservative party" he speaks of?
Why would Trump be the end of something that perhaps exists only in the mind and emotions of George.

The Republican party has long ago rejected its own voter base of conservatives. Bush was more interested in pleasing liberals than conservatives, even though liberals hated him. What senses does that make?

I thought we saw this article a few days ago. Are they rerunning it. GW is an A hole. I like to see either Trump or Cruz hit him right between his speckled metro sexual eye frames.
He and his pal over at national review have a blood feud going against Trump. Since Trump every once in a while launches a tirade against them and Krauthammer, perhaps it is working to deflect his attention away from those he is running against him which perhaps is their goal that is to draw fire away from the GOPe.

The end of conservatives. We’ve been hearing this since the beginning of time.
