Donald Trump’s damage to the Republican Party, although already extensive, has barely begun. Republican quislings will multiply, slinking into support of the most anti-conservative presidential aspirant in their party’s history. These collaborationists will render themselves ineligible to participate in the party’s reconstruction.
Ted Cruz’s announcement of his preferred running mate has enhanced the nomination process by giving voters pertinent information. They already know the only important thing about Trump’s choice: His running mate will be unqualified for high office because he or she will think Trump is qualified.
Hillary Clinton’s optimal running mate might be Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio, a pro-labor populist whose selection would be balm for the bruised feelings of Bernie Sanders’s legions. Running mates rarely matter as electoral factors: In 2000, Al Gore got 43.2 percent of the North Carolina vote. In 2004, John Kerry, trying to improve upon Gore’s total there, ran with North Carolina Sen. John Edwards but received 43.6 percent. If, however, Brown were to help deliver Ohio for Clinton, the Republican path to 270 electoral votes would be narrower than a needle’s eye. [SNIP]
Trump would be the most unpopular nominee ever, unable to even come close to Mitt Romney’s insufficient support among women, minorities and young people. In losing disastrously, Trump probably would create down-ballot carnage sufficient to end even Republican control of the House. Ticket splitting is becoming rare in polarized America: In 2012, only 5.7 percent of voters supported a presidential candidate and a congressional candidate of opposite parties.

Hillary is going to have a minority, black or Hispanic, on her ticket. That’s a given.
Brown is a communist. He was the one who was at his mother’s funeral and flown by private jet to DC to vote on 0bamacare. High drama.
Will is another permanently constipated DC establishment schmuck who hasn’t had an original thought since puberty. After he passes he will neither be missed nor noticed.
Trump is exposing the statists.
The people will NOT be allowed to choose... It’s CLOBBERING TIME!
“Trump would be the most unpopular nominee ever, unable to even come close to Mitt Romney’s insufficient support among women, minorities and young people.”
What a moron Will is.
Trump already has more votes than Mittens ever got.
Trump is going to win Hillary-hating Independents in droves.
George Will is babbling old fool, surpassed in blind rinoism perhaps only by Krauthammer.
The people will NOT be allowed to choose... It’s CLOBBERING TIME!
Not seriously. George, buddy, it’s time to retire.
George Will nearly died from his colostomy because the proctologist didn’t realize how thick the stick up his butt really was. Apparently it is inoperable.
Well, fine we will all go with Trump to another party since we don’t belong in the GOP.
We are finding that out aren’t we?
Will is playing a very dangerous game here. Trump will be nominated, I believe. If, during the campaign, Will and others carry out their threat to actively work to oppose the nominee of the republican party, he may bring on total war, with Trump supporters attempting to turn out republicans up for election.
Will is playing with fire, and assuming Mr. Bowtie hasn’t gone completely senile and can still be reasoned with, those with sway over him ought to talk some sense into his increasingly pointy little head.
Yup. A whole bunch of crooked, corrupt and evil people who have been sucking the lifeblood out of Americans for generations are finally seeing generations of Americans massing at the crossroads and switching their gravy train to that old, unused siding to sit and rot. We’re finally saying they stink at running a railroad.
What happens when an elitist, pointy-headed idiot runs a GAME SHOW..?

SNL, Dana Carvey as George Will
It is like these idiots are channeling Safire from the other side of the grave..and after 8 years of forced diversity, we don't need any more lessons from Clinton, Inc.
Except that no one cares about what George Will says and his effort will have no effect.
The same George Will who had predicted a hundred times that Trump will never be the Republican nominee and he was just a clown, is now making predictions about the general election and expects some people will take him seriously?
George Will wears glasses to look smart because we hear lots of stupid things.
Trump is exposing the cushy lifestyles the Washington Insiders have been able to enjoy, at the cost of the average citizen.
To them, this isn’t about Republican or Democrat. It isn’t about the good of the Country. It’s about them and what benefits them.
