Donald Trump, Counterfeit Republican By GEORGE WILL August 12, 2015
In every town large enough to have two traffic lights there is a bar at the back of which sits the local Donald Trump, nursing his fifth beer and innumerable delusions. Because the actual Donald Trump is wealthy, he can turn himself into an unprecedentedly and incorrigibly vulgar presidential candidate. It is his right to use his riches as he pleases. His squalid performance and its coarsening of civic life are costs of freedom that an open society must be prepared to pay.
When, however, Trump decided that his next acquisition would be not another casino but the Republican presidential nomination, he tactically and quickly underwent many conversions of convenience (concerning abortion, health care, funding Democrats, etc.). His makeover demonstrates that he is a counterfeit Republican and no conservative.
He is an affront to anyone devoted to the project William F. Buckley began six decades ago with the founding in 1955 of National Review — making conservatism intellectually respectable and politically palatable. Buckley’s legacy is being betrayed by invertebrate conservatives now saying that although Trump “goes too far,” he has “tapped into something,” and therefore

WE (PLEASE DON’T CHECK BEHIND THE CURTAIN TO FIND OUT WHO “WE” IS)
HEREWITH DECLARE DONALD TRUMP IS REALLY REALLY BAD AND YUCKY AND DANGEROUS
AND YOU ARE A POOPYHEAD IF YOU SUPPORT HIM
AND HE IS SCARY
AND BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU
SAYS US!!!!!
Trump said if an illegal had an illegal job (2 crimes) and was productive he should be allowed to stay. So an American is out of a job there.
Would you like some fries to go with that Whopper?
Trump NEVER said such a thing. He said ALL illegals GO BACK, and go to the END OF THE LINE...and come back, legally. If they’ve not committed crimes, etc, they’re entitled to get in line.
Vacated jobs will go to Americans first.
What I can’t wait to see is how many American’s on welfare apply for the jobs the illegals will be vacating.
I hate it when so many Freepers fail to see that destroying the GOPe and its hold on the levers of the Republican party’s power is more important than any specific issue, with the exception of immigration, and Donald is right on that issue.
It’s more important than who wins the Presidency. This is a fight that can actually HELP us restore constitutional freedom. We must kill the wicked witch of PC.
You get it too don't you. Trump is the messenger they all want to kill-- to shut him up.
He said first defend pp. Tonight he said Ivanka reminded him of all the services that women needed. She said it appeared that he didn’t care about women and she knew how much he cherished and cared for women....so then he amended his thoughts to make sure that those women who needed.other medical care would be assured it would be provided
(It also takes the target off his back that the feminazi would place on any republican that plans to defend pp completely without taking care of the birth control,and other feminine needs.)
Yup.
Look at the countless "republicans" who are mumbling against Trump--will they "support the nominee" if he is it? I don't think so. Much of the party fifty years ago sabotaged Goldwater, "the party's nominee." Party "republicans" are jackass hypocrites to be getting all sanctimonious about Trump.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
You haven’t been on some of the threads * have.
You want to see the Trump history threads?
It’ll cost you and you have to make sure the trolls that have been harassing can’t find it.
No, I haven’t seen all the Trump threads. My freeping time is in the late evenings, and on weekends, so I do miss a lot of stuff. But, I read fast and cover a lot of ground in the morning over coffee, and again after dinner.
We go through this every four years, but I don’t remember any candidate blowing up as big as Trump, this early in the campaign. It’s unbelievable how much he’s dominating the news, and the discussions on FR.
He’s a real phenomenon, and one we must pay close attention to.
vulgar: 6. spoken by, or being in the language spoken by, the people generally; vernacular: vulgar tongue.
As Will says himself, the Donald speaks the language of the common man, and the common man hears what he says. No wonder Georgie looks for a fainting couch when Trump opens up on the politically correct class.
“I hate it when George Will is right and so many Freepers are wrong.”
When is that going to happen?
Or do you believe Will when he says real average Americans who support Trump’s fight against illegal immigration are “invertebrate conservatives”?
1. Hail Mary one: Ted Cruz.
2. Hail Mary two: Donald Trump.
I was a little disappointed with his answer about Planned Parenthood on Hannity tonight and also with his answers about a new tax plan and the IRS.
He needs to get sharper on those and spell it out completely.
I don't want any vagueness, what so ever, on those issues, especially Planned Parenthood.
“Donald Trump Is an Affront to Anyone Devoted to William F. Buckley’s Legacy”
OH NO! Uh, wait. How many exactly would that be? You know, the number of people “devoted to William F. Buckley’s Legacy”,oh, AND ALSO affronted by The Donald? Tens? Dozens, even? Or are we talking as many as hundreds here? Inquiring minds want to know ...
I saw the Trump part of that clip earlier, but this is the first time I saw the Laffer and Forbes parts. Great commentary! Tax cuts and simplification of tax policy are key to growing the economy. Jobs, jobs, jobs!!
Well, he doesn’t offend me at all. I’m enjoying him.
Trump is uneducated about the true nature of Planned Parenthood. He’ll get it right.
I don’t think that many Freepers are wrong. I believe we’re just enjoying ourselves with a candidate who doesn’t give a darn and speaks his mind.
Knew I hadn’t seen you for awhile. Just giving you a bad time. Sounds like things have picked up since we spoke years ago. Answer to prayers. If you’d like I will ping you to tthreads starting with Trump family history. You will enjoy. Are you still in Texas and dealing with liberal.family members?.
