Damn uppity voters always getting in the way of us elite thinkers...
I think George Will will soon find out (since it seems he has not been paying attention to the polls so far) that the majority of Republicans are the ones who are tired of the establishment types.. and the establishment types are going to have to learn to adjust their attitudes and positions or find they are on their way out...
I don 't know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, "We must broaden the base of our party" -- when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.

Our people look for a cause to believe in. Is it a third party we need, or is it a new and revitalized second party, raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people?

It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.
The problem, Mr. Will, as it was in 1976, is this:
Once sworn into office, the victors reverted to type. In their view, apparently, the ends justified the means.
It is by and large republicans who are supporting Mr. Trump. It is the people of the party. The terms, dear sir, are not made in Washington. They are made at the dinner tables of millions of working Americans who make up this Grand Old Party. The fact that this is lost on you is indicative of the problem in Washington. It is the same reason Sen Cruz is gaining such momentum.
The American people, and especially republicans, are hungry for a leader, not a follower. They dream in bold colors, and are served plate after plate of pastels from D.C. Sen Cruz just days ago was eviscerated by the Washington elite for daring to speak the truth, and call a party leader on their deceit. If that kind of betrayal of the people, first to lie and then to defend the right to lie and not be called a liar, if that is evidence of your 'terms' then we need no more of that. We have had quite enough, thank you.
Your tone demands a follower, another marionette of K Street. We, we the people, seek a leader, a bold leader. I am a republican. I will support whom I choose, whether they fit the Washington cream and crumpet mold or not. I will speak out for the rebel from Texas, the rogue from Alaska, and even the brash wheeler-dealer from NY if I so choose. Do not propose to speak on my behalf any further. Your terms, dear sir, are declined.
Those racist, sexist Tea Partiers need to leave his Party. Georgie Will is the problem.
Pray America is waking
Trump is doing a great service to conservatism right now by destroying the GOP. What makes this even funnier is that it’s quite possible Trump isn’t even a genuine conservative. GOPe hacks such as George Will are about to find themselves unemployed; let’s hope they starve quickly.
What are your terms, George? Surrender?
The problem is that we are stuck inside the GOP and want to get out.
The Republican party NEVER learns, year after year they try to jam an Establishment progressive down our throats and the Republican asks again and again “Why do we keep on losing?” Gee, ya wanna know why..perhaps because we are sick and tired of Progressive liberals being the nominee..This same Establishment doesn’t want Trump and they sure as heck don’t want Ted Cruz being the nominee they want Jeb Bush because Jeb Bush is a progressive libtard who is in favor of Common Core and Amnesty for illegals
Those racist, sexist Tea Partiers need to leave his Party. Georgie Will is the problem.

George Will, the GOP, Erick Erickson, and all others with a short memory need to put down their cups of media cool-aid, and watch this Youtube video. This young black American male gets it.
Enjoy!
George Will is a demented troll who hasn’t got a clue about what the Republican voters want. Him and Kraut and the usual RINO pundit suspects all have their panties in a wad because they are unable to prognosticate this years race with any degree of accuracy.
Kraut and Will must have swallowed their tongues when that NBC/WSJ poll came out this afternoon. I would love to have been a fly on the wall. LOL!
“our terms”
!?
who is “our” who are “they”? If it was not for readers, he would have a tin cup under a bridge.
The GOP elite want to tell us the terms by which we can lead our own nation with only their blessing and guidance?
F them and the horse from Satan they road in on.
Screw the Republican Party
Will can go to hell!
What is he talking about? Immigration? Cuz if that is it, then it is the self-appointed leaders of the GOP that need to change. Not Trump supporters.
