If Trump Wins The Nomination, Prepare For The End Of The Conservative Party
By George F. Will December 23
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.â€
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.)
Until now, Trump’s ever-more-exotic effusions have had an almost numbing effect. Almost. But by his embrace of Putin, and by postulating a slanderous moral equivalence —

Actually, if Trump wins, I’m preparing for the end of the DemoRat party.
“No, prepare for the end of the GOPe.”
I would like to know what conservative party he is talking about.
End of the BUSH party..sorry Bushes you’ve stunk up the GOP for long enough
The conservative “party†is the faction of the Republican Party that votes for conservative measures. The Establish,met wing is in coalition with the Democrats. They use the Democrats to block any really conservative measures.
George Will is a Vichy Republican RINO..
RINO doooosh needs to go away. Will and jerks like Gergen are the so called conservatives that ultra liberal let hang out with them. Saying they have jumped the shark is degrading to responsible sharks everywhere.
Actually, it won’t just the end of the RINO Conservative Party, it will be the end of the RAT party also....
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
