If you look beyond Donald Trump’s comprehensive unpleasantness -- is there a disagreeable human trait he does not have? -- you might see this: He is a fundamentally sad figure. His compulsive boasting is evidence of insecurity.
His unassuageable neediness suggests an aching hunger for others’ approval to ratify his self-admiration. His incessant announcements of his self-esteem indicate that he is not self-persuaded. Now, panting with a puppy's insatiable eagerness to be petted, Trump has reveled in the approval of Vladimir Putin, murderer and war criminal.
Putin slyly stirred America's politics by saying Trump is "very ... talented," adding that he welcomed Trump's promise of "closer, deeper relations," whatever that might mean, with Russia. Trump announced himself flattered to be "so nicely complimented" by a "highly respected" man: "When people call you brilliant, it's always good."
When MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Putin "kills journalists, political opponents and invades countries," Trump replied that "at least he's a leader." Besides, Trump breezily asserted, "I think our country does plenty of killing also."
Two days later, Trump, who rarely feigns judiciousness, said: "It has not been proven that he's killed reporters."
Well. Perhaps the 56 journalists murdered were coincidental victims of amazingly random violence that the former KGB operative's police state is powerless to stop. It has, however, been "proven," perhaps even to Trump's exacting standards, that Putin has dismembered Ukraine. (Counts one and two at the 1946 Nuremberg trials concerned conspiracy to wage, and waging, aggressive war.)

George Will saying this is evidence of stupidity. LOL!
No Will, it will be the end of the DC pundits like yourself posing as conservative Americans. Your wife will be unemployed and both of you will become irrelevant rectums.
The Cubs are good this year.
It might be then end of the GOP but it might also mean that Hillary waltzes into POTUS should Donald throw a tantrum and go third party like Ross Perot.
turned to fiction.
Trump is conservatives payback to the GOProgressives.
conservative party? Where?
George doesn’t get dirty much, I guess. The soil in DC needs turning. And then it might need to be left unplanted for a while.
Oh, now Georgie is worried about the Conservative party? Since when?
BS..Go away GOPe hack!
Oh my.
Trump found a virtue in Vlad the Putin’s situation.
We can’t have that. That’s being objective and that is verboten! We must demarcate into clear camps and gin up whatever illusions we can to defend it!
What conservative party? That’s been dead for a long long time.
Kind of what I was thinking too. How can something die, that does not exist. We truly ARE dead to the GOPe.
And what do we to show for it? Squat.
Sorry George, go peddle your spew somewhere else.

Hey, George...there is no “conservative party”. All we have is a majority of feckless, traitors-to-their-electorate, wimpy, two-faced, mealy-mouthed, political degenerates who are focused on their own power and influence. There is a uniparty of LIB/RINO losers.
You, sir, win the “succinct summary of the day” award.
This is probably the most disgusting, vile column I’ve read this year.
I wasn’t aware that we had a conservative party. I thought all we had was a democrat light party led by the likes of McCain, Romney, Dole, and a whole host of others who are in no way conservative, they just roll over and play dead most of the time.
I am not wasting my time reading this but if he said anything like Trump is no conservative and will set the conservative movement back to its inception I could not agree more.
