Donald Trump’s distinctive rhetorical style — think of a drunk with a bullhorn reading aloud James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake under water — poses an almost insuperable challenge to people whose painful duty is to try to extract clarity from his effusions. For example, last week, during a long stream of semi-consciousness in Fort Worth, this man who as president would nominate members of the federal judiciary vowed to “open up” libel laws to make it easier to sue — to intimidate and punish — people who write “negative” things. Well. Trump, the thin-skinned tough guy, resembles a campus crybaby who has wandered out of his “safe space.”
Trump is a presidential aspirant who would flunk an eighth-grade civics exam. More than anything Marco Rubio said about Trump in Houston, it was Rubio’s laughter at Trump that galled the perhaps bogus billionaire. Like all bullies, Trump is a coward, and like all those who feel the need to boast about being strong and tough, he is neither....

....or the majority of so call ‘conservatives’ currently on congress that promised us they’d fight for us. The attacks on Trump over the past month have exceeded all of the attacks on democrats from elected and media ‘conservatives’ over the past 20 years. That should tell you everything that you need to know.
No matter what one thinks of George Will, that phrase is a work of art.
“OMG! The National Review has published an article by a self important Inside the Beltway, out of touch, imperious, gasbag that’s critical of Donald Trump. Oh no...I guess I can’t vote for him now!”
All that being true, was Will accurate or not? If Trump gets in, boy are you going to get what you deserve. The problem is that the rest of us will get it too.
If you are intelligent you will see that Trump is definitely not a buffoon. I’m sorry to say that, but he is not a buffoon. He knows what he is doing. When I see people here or elsewhere saying he is a clown or buffoon, it is medical evidence that they aren’t understanding the situation, like the people who have thought Obama’s policies prove his incompetence. Deep down, Obama is an ineffectual, incompetent person in life, but his policies have been planned and serve a higher purpose. He MEANS to fundamentally transform this country, to break it down, to give our enemies a gift.
Next, if an article come up and I see it’s written by NR against Trump, there is no point in reading it. They don’t connect to truth at all. They cling to their once-assumed popularity for being at the conservative edge of media while still pushing the establishment pap down readers’ throats.
Excuse me but how can that be true when the latest polls shows him with favorability of 64% and a negative of 27%? Could you be using old data? The more Trump wins State contest & endorsements like Sessions, Christy, ? Newt, etc. the more his numbers will rise.
“Winning has made Trump more popular. 64% of Republicans in Florida now have a favorable opinion of him to only 27% with a negative one. That actually puts him ahead of Rubio’s 60/28 standing. The most broadly popular Republican for what little it’s worth is Carson at 65/18. Kasich’s at 53/22, and for the second state in a row we find Cruz under water at 39/48. We found that he had slipped into negative territory on our final South Carolina poll as well.”

“I support Trump to spite people like George Will.”
What a terrific and thoughtful way to decide the fate of the nation.
Yea never saw this reported before, must be a poll of 2ndDivisionVets' family or CincinnatusWife, they are the resident Anti-trump Cruz fangirl\fanboys here on FR
Why are Republicans trying to pick losing horses? They need to realize Trump is going to win and get behind him.
The other candidates will not win so why bet on losing horses?
These two covers are pretty disgusting aren’t they, TWO LOSERS but Trump is NOT GOOD ENOUGH !!!!!
WINNING...when the old, tired, atheist, George Will continues to wander in the establishment desert.
The problem is what he is advocating.

If Free trade and open borders worked the people would not be revolting against these policies the GOP advocated. The free traders have themselves to blame.

I stopped reading George Will’s columns ten years ago when I figured him out for what he is: a pretend conservative, a sacrificial lamb to the altar of leftist totalitarianism.
George Will jumped the shark long ago.
Not even close. Heck, Ross Perot would have been better than the last 7 years.
In a serious vein, Trump is my #2 pick after Cruz. While I think Cruz is the best thing since sliced bread, far better than Trump...
Trump is completely firm on national sovereignty. And that is the #1 issue. He isn't solid on a lot of things (hence my preference for Cruz) but on the border and on issues having to do with putting America first, he is clear. So I will happily vote for him if he is the nominee (and its pretty clear he will be).
As an aside, while I think any Repub can beat Hillary or Bernie this year, if its Trump it is going to be a landslide. Dems won't cross over for Cruz, for example, the ones who can't stomach Hillary will sit home. But I already see signs that a lot of Dems are for Trump. I am actually optimistic that we are going to be smiling come November.
While he's not my primary choice, I actually think a Trump administration could be instructive; and it most definitely won't be as destructive as the last eight years have been.
Of course, once the primary season is over, and it comes down to either Trump or Hillary, the panic about Trump will calm down.
“You don’t like Trump? Get rid of the GOP establishment that caused him to succeed, otherwise you and others are part of the problem. “
Do you think the GOPe likes Cruz? The establishment needed a lesson, yes, but Trump is leading a circular firing squad.
So true. If the GOP had fought the Dems as hard as they fight the Tea Party the country would not be screwed up.
