The Havoc that Trump Wreaks
Washington Post ^ | 8/27/15 | George Will

Posted on 08/27/2015 3:55:02 PM PDT by BigEdLB

Every sulfurous belch from the molten interior of the volcanic Trump phenomenon injures the chances of a Republican presidency. After Donald Trump finishes plastering a snarling face on conservatism, any Republican nominee will face a dauntingly steep climb to reach even the paltry numbers that doomed Mitt Romney.

Jeb Bush tweeted today that he just got the endorsement of uber RINO loser Eric Cantor! Even Krauthammer said no one on earth should be mentioning an endorsement from the loser Cantor who lost to a nobody!

George! Will you please shut up. It was your support for losers like McCain and Romney that helped put the GOP in the position of weakness and gutlessness that it is in now.

Trump has hit a nerve, like a sledgehammer on a knee, of the American people and they like what he says.

Where I come from, that is called a “hint” as in “Houston, we have a problem”.

If many of the GOP candidates for president don’t have the balls to speak the truth, and to propose bold solutions, then that is their problem. Don’t make it ours.

Kasich? Patakai? Gilmore? etc. Seriously George, you Shirley jest!

The GOP JV (as opposed to the ISIS JV), isn’t strong enough to stop a marshmellow, or a Dem commie like Hillary, O’Malley, Sanders, or Warren. In fact, they couldn’t even beat another Sanders, Col. Sanders, if he was dug up and put on the ballet. After all, he was both a leader (i.e. Colonel), and a successful businessman. Our GOP JV, collectively, are basically failures.

We are left (er, Right), with Trump, Cruz and Carson. All good men, successful men, and men with cahones.

That is what Americas of all political persuasions are seeing, hearing and liking.

George. You’re a nice guy, write well, and mean well, but you WILL not open your eyes to the conservative revolt that is now arising from the Silent Majority.

Like previous SM movements, it can become a tsunami that will cover the land and sweep away the garbage.

George, if that happens, you are going to need a bigger boat!

Will someone please feed the Cranky old buzzard a bowl of prunes and wheel him over next to Bob Dole.

Go away George, your schtick is not only old and wore out, it also exposes you as the Elitist prick you are!

Trump’s appeal, Mr. Will has to do in part with his total disregard for the politically correct discourse of the Washington mafia...of persons like Joe Biden who has spent most of his adult life, 33 years in government, doing little to nothing for the American people.

Mr. Will you show your disdain for Mr. Trump, a good and successful American, a philanthropic American...BUT...you don't seem to mind the lawless POTUS we have now; a man so criminal in his presidential actions that were he White, he would be impeached....to be so blind is more than a pity, it has crippled your judgment.

Anything anyone says that is decidedly venomous toward the Trumpism currently on display, can be answered by loud cries of . . .

"This is what the Obamas, Boehners and the GOPe in 7 years has wrought!"

I used to respect Will and I think he did support Reagan. How could anyone but an Obama or another scum of the earth liberal write such a vile and repulsive article. His mind is out to lunch permanently.

Perhaps Trump is just the bell that awakens the populace. Their own Creator-endowed consciousness and awareness of impending danger may then lead them to be able to discern who is most likely to be qualified to lead America back to its foundations in liberty.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
        Thomas Jefferson

Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the people.' 'We the people' tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us. 'We the people' are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the people' are free.

        Ronald Reagan

Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.

        Justice Joseph Story

No man can suffer too much, and no man can fall too soon, if he suffer or if he fall in defense of the liberties and Constitution of his country.

        Daniel Webster

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.

        Daniel Webster

America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.

        Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

        Abraham Lincoln

MadMax, I do like what you are saying! I would vote for any of the three, Trump, Carson, Cruz...all good and able men who love their country and by all counts, they love their countrymen as well. The others are not bad Americans, they are just politically correct; NOT what America needs.

I'd vote for Trump as well as the other two mentioned, in a heart beat!

Yes, it was especially vile, almost demonic. Will is losing it. Trump is exorcising demons and it sure is fun to watch.

Because of the cession of most effective power to the Executive by the Legislative Branch and the alliance of the Judicial Branch with the Executive, the next election will be for Dictator. If we elecct a solid conservative who sticks to the Constitution he will fail because the power ceded to the Executive was actually ceded to the Democrat ruling class. A Conservative electee has to be a very powerful, yes, dictator, or he will put the Democrat Total State permanently in place because the whole left including the USSC, Congress and the Agencies will make life impossible for him. The new president has to use the pen and phone and maybe the army. If we get one such we can onbly hope against hope that he will use the power he has to goad the States into taking back their powers. Trying to give Congressional powers back to Congress will be handing power over to the Democrat rulers in the Agencies. The next president will probably be facing a de jure as well as de facto Democrat Congress- both houses. After the last two elections, who is going to vote for Republicans again?

Weird, Wacky, Wimpy, Wussy Will strikes again!

(More putrid, flatulent fumes from the foulness festering in George Will's mind, tongue, and pen, displaying once again yet another of his increasingly hideous assaults on truth, goodness, and American values.)
