RUSH: We've got George Will. I cannot tell you how this disappoints me. George Will -- way back, long ago when I was still spinning records as a disc jockey -- was an idol of mine. I remember I met George Will in Dallas in 1992, Republican convention. I was there, having been sent there by a radio station in Kansas City that wanted to get me out of town.
So they sent me down to Dallas and said, "Go down there and prepare commentaries and then send 'em back. We might air them and we might not." And when I was there one night at the convention I went to the basement of the hall where all the network trailers and trucks were, and I sought out the ABC truck, 'cause I just wanted to introduce myself to George Will. And I did. I found him, introduced myself to him, and I explained to him how much I admired his work and how his work had inspired me to want to get better at what I do.
And now George Will said on TV last night that he hopes for a Hillary Clinton landslide, because a Hillary Clinton landslide will emancipate the Republican Party from talk radio. A Hillary Clinton landslide. I can't tell you how devastating that is, but he said it. We've got the sound bite.

RUSH: Okay, I want to conclude this George Will story 'cause there's a lesson here. Just to repeat, George Will has been one of my heroes. He was, along with Mr. Buckley, one of my conservative idols from I don't know how long ago, and I found a way to introduce myself to him in Houston. Houston or Dallas, whatever it was. Wherever the Republican convention was in '92. No, no, no, no. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. No! I'm sorry, it was Houston. It was Dallas in '84. Dallas in '84. That's when it was.
I had not yet gone... Dallas in '84. It was the-second term convention for Ronald Reagan, and I scoured the basement of the convention hall there to meet George Will. I hung around outside the ABC trailer and I told him how much I admired his work and so forth, and then when I went to Washington to do a program for a series of programs for a week in the mid-eighties, I asked George Will if he'd be a guest.
I sent him... He was a baseball fan, and I sent him a suitcase that had been used by George Brett during a record season of 2010 as a souvenir, and he came out and we talked. I haven't spoken to him much in recent years. But he was on Fox... I take it back. On the ABC News website Powerhouse Politics, Jonathan Karl was speaking to George Will, and here he openly talks about this election and expresses his desire for a landslide Hillary victory.
WILL: It depends partly on the size of Mr. Trump's defeat. If it's a narrow defeat, that's the worst (snickers) conceivable outcome for Republicans, because then it will be the old stab-in-the-back theory, that but for people like Paul Ryan or Ben Sasse or lesser figures like George Will, all would have been well. Mrs. Clinton may win by four points, but well over 300 electoral votes. That would help the Republicans. The Republican Party has to do several things. First, it has to somehow emancipate itself from its thralldom to the indignation industry of talk radio and certain cable personalities that I think have a paralyzing effect on the party when it tries to deal with things like immigration. Until the Republican Party gets right with minorities in this country, it's never gonna win another presidential election.
RUSH: Well, that's very... (sigh) Look, I know the civil war is coming, and I know that no matter what happens -- we win, you lose -- I'm gonna get the blame by somebody. But I think somebody needs to tell George Will it's not talk radio anywhere. You look at Facebook and Twitter, people are not saying, "Hey, Rush Limbaugh says..." They think it themselves now. They don't need talk radio for guidance on what to think. It's easy to spot Democrat destruction, and people don't want any more of it!
END TRANSCRIPT
Too late.
This is what happens when you are inside the beltway for too long. You lose complete touch with the rest of America and reality. Apparently, he has no problem with the corruption of both parties, especially the dems over the years.
The 2016 George Will would absolutely detest the 1980 Ronald Reagan.
They can call it the "PARTY OF ALL CHIEFS AND NO INDIANS"
Mr. Will is ‘exasperated, bemused and preturbed at the Trump Train behavior. He has already written, footnoted and submitted his post-election ‘I told you so’ articles he plans to publish on November 9th.
Amazing....The possibility that Trump may win is a possibility that these people cannot comprehend. If and when he wins in a landslide their entire worldview is going to fall from underneath their feet
Memo To George Will:
Click the Pic
Has been to me for a decade or more. He can eat at the head table with the Bush family for all I care as I will stay with humble pie and truth!
Hope a Hillary bodyslide for him!!
And if there is a Trump landslide, could we all, please, be emancipated from George Will?
The loser list keeps growing and growing. But then he never was a winner.
towel boy
Rush Limbaugh should be ashamed to give this worthless turd ANY comment. And you notice that Russ passed it off as not a “talk radio” issue rather than saying that his “old mentor” was a POS for saying what he did. Rush is also yesterday’s news for me.
Mask Lauer...
George will has been a phoney, token conservative from day one. I never got anything from reading him. He has this pretense of false sincerity, and mumbling some nonsensical words that nobody understands. He fantasizes himself to be a top intellectual of the conservative movement, but in fact the only thing he cares about is himself and he knows which side of the bread is buttered on.
We were warned back in the Kennedy years to NEVER trust anyone who wears those small lens eyeglasses! Good advice then. Good advice now!
No, it won’t, because A Republican getting elected to POTUS did not put talk radio out of business. Talk radio can easily nitpick how a GOP President is not a true conservative for the sake of the business.
George Will might be out of touch with the little people. I talked to a friend today, a black male small business owner here in Northern Virginia, and I was pleasantly surprised that he brought up the election and his intent to vote for Trump. He said Hillary is corrupt as the day is long.
I’m feeling good about Tuesday.
The enemies within.
I don’t think it will either?
