If Trump Wins The Nomination, Prepare For The End Of The Conservative Party
By George F. Will December 23
If you look beyond Donald Trumpâs comprehensive unpleasantness â is there a disagreeable human trait he does not have? â 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 othersâ approval to ratify his self-admiration. His incessant announcements of his self-esteem indicate that he is not self-persuaded. Now, panting with a puppyâs insatiable eagerness to be petted, Trump has reveled in the approval of Vladimir Putin, murderer and war criminal.
Putin slyly stirred Americaâs politics by saying Trump is âvery .â.â. talented,â adding that he welcomed Trumpâs promise of âcloser, deeper relations,â whatever that might mean, with Russia. Trump announced himself flattered to be âso nicely complimentedâ by a âhighly respectedâ man: âWhen people call you brilliant, itâs always good.â When MSNBCâs Joe Scarborough said Putin âkills journalists, political opponents and invades countries,â Trump replied that âat least heâs a leader.â Besides, Trump breezily asserted, âI think our country does plenty of killing also.â Two days later, Trump, who rarely feigns judiciousness, said: âIt has not been proven that heâs killed reporters.â
Well. Perhaps the 56 journalists murdered were coincidental victims of amazingly random violence that the former KGB operativeâs police state is powerless to stop. It has, however, been âproven,â perhaps even to Trumpâs 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, Trumpâs ever-more-exotic effusions have had an almost numbing effect. Almost. But by his embrace of Putin, and by postulating a slanderous moral equivalence â

George Will
Subject is Trump
Action: Round File Toss
Put the two together and you have POS on an astronomical scale.
Apparently there is no existing Conservative Party in Washington, only among the voters does a Conservative Party exist; it has already been ended in Washington.
Hey, George ... You suck, schlonger!
I’ll drink to that.
The GOP-E has more in common with the Democrats than their base.
Time for the Republican Party to die.
Envy, envy, envy .. Poor George!
No Georgie Boy, say goodbye to the “Faux Conservative Party.” Where the only thing that’s “conservative” is the BS talk during elections. Personally, I hope to live to see the complete demise of the GOP and it’s being replaced by a party that is Truly Conservative.
Is that supposed to be bad?
George wouldn’t recognize a conservative if one ran over him in a 4WD Ford F-150.
F George Will
Why would anyone think that George Will knows anything about a conservative party.
I've been assured Crewz Helmet is in control.
Surely the GOPe must know Cruz is winning by now.
And GOPe, for the record...
The Conservative Party ended in January of 1989.
Will has really got his briefs in a knot, doesn’t he? All the other GOPe are freaking out, too-you can smell the desperation as they try to remain relevant...
Right. “Conservative Party”. Nice piece of Goebbelesque propaganda there, George. There IS no conservative party. However, if by “conservative party” you’re referring to the GOP-Establishment Party of the rich and powerful plutocrat and oligarch string-pullers and their cringing, corrupt, lying, PC DC insiders, then whether Trump is nominated or not, THAT party is dead.
Either President Trump will finish dismantling the GOPe as it exists today, or if Trump is NOT the nominee, your party will disappear like snowflakes melting between your fingers, because the thing that you and your ilk forget is that ya’ll are not the party; the voters are the party, so either way, the GOPe will be dead as a DoDo bird.
(BTW, George, given how early in the nomination game we are, I can’t wait to see how much further you can ratchet up your dire rhetoric. It seems like you might have peaked a bit too soon. Nonetheless, may I suggest for future columns that Trump will “salt the Earth”, “create plagues and boils”, “rain blood”, and oh, don’t forget about “hiding your women and children from Trump” either?)
Meh...the bow-tied bloviator doesn’t even reveal which craven neocon will save the day.
Trump or Dump (the GOP).
Reality Distortion Field engaged. Check.
