Trump has reveled in the approval of Vladimir Putin, murderer and war criminal.
Odd. I don't recall Uniboy Will writing these words about Barack "Doubletap Dronebomber" Obama, murderer and war criminal.
Oh, THAT'S RIGHT - George Will is a Uniparty Demopublican Republicrat, and would never DARE to criticize The Leader.
He'd get uninvited to all the Big doings in The City...
You are correct, of course. As you intimate, such writing would be inconsistent with his position, which despite the MSM, is not at all that of a conservative but that of an "important public player".
(Sometimes AKA as a "middle of the roader"; one not necessarily for or against an aggressive agenda but one who is willing to publicly ignore, understate or confuse such an agenda to help maintain the status quo.)
GW formally staked out that position by hosting a 2009 dinner at his residence for then president-elect O that included fellow pseudo-conservatives ("IPP"'s) such as Krauthammer, Brooks and Kristol.
O understood the character of the forum and was pleased to accept the invitation.
Merry Christmas to all in FReeperland!
