Conservative columnist George Will is making the argument to vote against Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.
In a piece published Friday in the Washington Post, Will says that President Trump's "zero tolerance" policy at the border was "the most telegenic example of misrule" and it provided “fresh if redundant evidence for the principle by which” independents and moderate Republicans should vote.
That principle he says is that the number of Republicans in office must be “substantially reduced.”
"The principle: The congressional Republican caucuses must be substantially reduced. So substantially that their remnants, reduced to minorities, will be stripped of the Constitution’s Article I powers that they have been too invertebrate to use against the current wielder of Article II powers," Will wrote. "They will then have leisure time to wonder why they worked so hard to achieve membership in a legislature whose unexercised muscles have atrophied because of people like them."
Will targets House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and many other Republican lawmakers for serving as the "president’s poodles."
"Not because James Madison’s system has failed but because today’s abject careerists have failed to be worthy of it," Will added. "Congressional Republicans (congressional Democrats are equally supine toward Democratic presidents) have no higher ambition than to placate this president."

George Will’s once magnificent intellect has fled.
Can they bury this pile to dung too?
Will is aMcCain conservative. At best a bold face liar.
When the Marines went to the halls of Montezuma?
Beats me the exact details. But if the USA isn’t pushing into the world, then the world will push into the USA. I’d rather see the former.
I’m pretty sure he’s been voting Dumbocrap all along without telling anyone.
good post
Pseudo intellectual, pseudo Republican elitist a**h**e.
The question is whether Will means what he writes these days or if Bezos threatened to take away his season tickets.
Yep, worse than a never trumper, a surrender monkey
Why he hates Trump so much, I don't know. Maybe he feels that, having been born in flyover country, he has to demonstrate his bona fides to the coastal elites.
This ***hole is on my Airport List.

Another NWO Fasicst shows his face
Completely out of touch with reality. Alzheimers ?
Trump has forced fake conservative swamp to show their true colors.
Love that we keep winning!
George Will is a conservative???
Idiot. Hes a blooming idiot.
Lil George has been wetting his pants since grammar school when he is in the presence of real men like president Trump. His irrational hatred for the president stems from his lifetime of jealousy. George wanted to be the man but he didn’t measure up to the real men. His mommy’s lies were crushed when he came in contact with real men.
Billy Kristols butt boy outta shut up.
Anyone who listens to George Will any more will already vote for Democrats
