With all due respect to Mr. Will, I think we all here (or nearly all) recognized from the very beginning, when this petty lying tyrant wannabe came on the scene, knew exactly what he was and is.
This man from his dubious origins and inexperienced life’s accomplishments (yet having the audacity to ‘self’ author TWO books on his life) has telegraphed his competency and madness all the while. It did not take a speech at the Brandenberg Gates to confirm this.
And, Mr. Will, this is where I have a problem. You and Charles Krauthammer, et al now write columns acknowledging this and foretelling a “second term failure”. Where in the hell were you guys in 2008 or 2012? You were right where you are now. Writing articles, appearing on Sunday shows talking about this man as if he were a reasonable world leader and these fundamental divides we have with him as if they were “just political tiffs.” You should have told the truth then. Not now. We don’t need you to tell us that.
As far as I’m concerned, you and your bow tie helped elect him. All of you sitting up there weeks on end calmly discussing this man as if he were a sane normal leader with some minor differences instead of pounding your fists on the table, screaming at the top of your collective lungs to get this man the hell out of office.
DC beltway progressives... that is will and krauthammer.
