George Will is dead to me...another reason to hit the mute button (...it’s the button with the worn off letters)

I would guess that there are differing opinions. We don’t know for certain if The Donald is a man for his time. Regan wasn’t to energetic for very long, John Hinckley saw to that.

It looks like we have two choices, and The Donald is my pick.

George Will is one of the elitists as is Hillary Clinton. The elitists be they Republican or Democrat have more in common with each other than they do with the voter. The elitists will cover for each other first and listen to the voter only if they have no choice.

ps
Hillary did pick up the phone for that three o’clock in the morning call. It was Paul Ryan and George Will saying, “We got your back babe.”

“Oh, and who is this great conservative hope, who would beat an incumbent HRC? Odds are 4 years really means 8 years...or a total of 16 years of Barry/Hillary control.”

And look how the country has changed in these last 8 years. 8 years of Hillary and this place will be forever ruined.

George Will Trashed Ronald Reagan in 1979 .

He also criticized Jessee Jackson, Jim Webb and (According to the Daily Kos) "... I wanted to make sure we all know exactly who is a BOOR, who is a LIAR and an unrepentent CHEATER, and who DISRESPECTED a PRESIDENT by using that President's STOLEN PRIVATE PAPERS to help Ronald Reagon cheat in a debate against him. And when caught, said, basically, so what screw you?".

George Will is a Vichy conservative; an American Quisling.

Where were these quislings as the budget ballooned? They were branding the TeaParty as racists!

At every extra-constitutional robbery by Obama, they miffed and mused and did not one God d@amned thing.

When Cruz tried to fight obamacare they ALL ran for the high grass.

What good are they to us? Or the US?

Go in peace Mr. Will, and may history remember who you stood for when your nation needed you.

George Will is nothing more than a Nanny.

His prissy comments on Fox News leave me guffawing in laughter.

Will thinks he has some kind of political pedigree and he does not want to slum it with Trump in case he might catch the fleas of liberty. Will is terefore a dinosaur. And he will soon win his own Darwin award.

in 1776 Will would be a Tory.

Did George Will throw a hissy fit and claim he was no longer a Republican back in 1979 too?

I have a vague recollection of Will being suspended from his day job at the time for helping RR prep for a debate.

Perhaps it was ‘84?

Hillary is worse than Carter, by an order of magnitude.

We only have a choice between Trump and Hillary...no one else will take that oath but one of them. Choose.

Perfection is, unfortunately, not on the ballot. Deal with what we have...but if you stay home, don’t complain when thevWitch stacks the Court, takes guns. taxes us to death and lets in millions of Huma’s people.

Will was never a conservative. He merely played one on TV.
