To Dump Trump, Republicans Should Withhold Their Cash
National Review ^ | 06/22/2016 | George Will

http://www.nationalreview.com/article/436966/donald-trump-republicans-dump-trump-withholding-donations A broke and embarrassing Trump campaign would be an easy loser in November. “There’s an old adage about a vat of wine standing next to a vat of sewage. Add a cup of wine to the sewage, and it is still sewage. But add a cup of sewage to the wine, and it is no longer wine but sewage. Is this what Donald Trump has done to our politics?” — Martha Bayles, in the Claremont Review of Books

An ‘anti-establishment’ theme equates Sanders and Trump’s supporters. ALL they have in common is disgust with the establishment.
Bernie is irrelevant.
Hillary and Trump both appeal to the middle. One as defender of the status quo, the other promising change. That is the story of this election.

George Will, along with a few others, needs to pack up his ‘very large tent’ and head for the hills. To call him despicable is to place him higher on the ladder rung than the lowly rung he deserves.

Mr. Will. I will not be attempting to enter your tent. You offer no shelter; you offer nothing but contempt, snores and occasionally a most unpleasant odor. The sight of you makes me want to run the opposite direction. How far you have fallen after being placed so highly on that marble pedestal. Along with the RNC, you are dead to me.

AMERICA FIGHTS BACK!!

Trump has only started to seek donations. He’ll get them, lots of them.

William F. Buckley was tolerated by the leftist media because he had an odd style.

And the odd style was acceptable simply because you could look at Buckley and dismiss him as odd and eccentric even though his ideas were deadly to leftists.

When Buckley retired, they stuck George Will in the role of odd fish conservative. And he was put on the influential This Week with David Brinkley and that show made Will's reputation.

But the point about Will was he was always angry about something but he never clearly explained what he meant.

And I explored Will's inability to explain anything clearly in my FR column The Tower of Babble vs. the Tower of Trump.

In short, Will purposely tries to unintelligible so the listener thinks, "Oh, I guess I'm too dumb to understand what Will is saying."

But once you see the game he's playing, the Pundit has no clothes and is just another rich con artist with thick glasses.

Seems like the Never Trump GOPe crowd is gasping for its last breath of air before it sinks into the dark void at the Cleveland convention.

we are seeing a shift not just in the nation but in the political parties as well.

old establishment types like George Will are seeing their influence fade, and they’re fighting back.

younger GOP officials (Paul Ryan, Mia Love, and Marco Rubio come to mind) are trying to maintain a balance of between the “Beltway” and the grass roots.

and then there are the grass roots and their heroes. The grass roots are sick and tired of the status quo. The grass roots don’t have to like young guns necessarily, but do in some ways: Rand Paul isn’t GOP-e. But he has a message. The grass also likes Trump because he speaks his mind. Newt, too. And Sarah Palin to a degree.

the big big big money isn’t with the grass roots. Yet. (and I mean most of the big big big money. Some, of course, still shows up).

The problem George Will’s side has is that they think it is still all about filthy lucre. Except Trump has proven that it isn’t....he has spent less than any nominee in GOP modernity and has gotten more votes.

Trump has spent less money per vote than any other candidate.

Donald Trump is rich because he works smart AND hard...and knows how to get the best bang for his buck.

And by the way: he hasn’t been paid from my tax dollars either, unlike Hitlery.

I'm thinking he won't be remembered for his pithy sentiments about baseball, when weighed against his collusion with the GOPe.

Where do we go to dump this jackass George Will. These people are disgusting. What an idiot.

I turn on Michael Medved occasionally knowing I will be infuriated. He was supportive of Trump’s speech today, but now he wants Trump to offer the Vice Presidency to Paul Ryan by this weekend.

These jerks are insufferable.

I realized that Will was an idiot over 30 years ago when he wrote about how the movie ET would make kids hate scientists.
