George Will Is Down and Out

...Will suffers from what I call "writer's hysteria," wherein the patient temporarily "loses control of his literary tools and of his mind." This happens to Will increasingly. He suffered it during the 2016 election when he left the Republican Party and doubtless was surprised that others did not follow. Then, last weekend, he ordered his readers to follow him en masse to wherever he plans to go. Bill Kristol of the Weekly Standard is undoubtedly with him, and, of course, David Frum(p) of the Atlantic. As to where they are going he presumably mentioned it later in his column, but his turgid prose defeated me. As I say, when a writer suffers writer's hysteria, he at least temporarily loses his literary tools.

Thanks servo1969.

Why is George Will so terrified of Trump?

It’s not political. Not really. Sure. George is a punk for the dems and always has been, but he’s really afraid of something.

I wonder what it is that he’s so afraid will get exposed unless Trump is removed from office?

You wonder?

Doesn’t he come across as a deviant? Pedophile?

There are all sorts of them, the Clintons have files on them all. So, puppets....

I take Tyrrell very seriously on this one - as he stated, he's known Will for 50 years - and the observation that Will lost first his mind and then his literary tools isn't simply rhetoric. Will joins a host of commentators who have taken this thing so personally it's a curiosity in itself, but this is more than that, this is an individual falling apart. Did they take his Deep State membership card away? Confiscate the decoder ring? Schedule him for a helicopter ride with Hillary? What?

[SunkenCiv]

He's a Demwit, has been throughout his adult life, but also supported nuclear power. If a push to nuclear power were back on the table, he'd probably just hang himself in his bathroom, although his defense of nuclear power goes back to the 1980s. For years he's been a willing participant in the Partisan media Shill s***-show on ABC Sunday morning, and hasn't supported a Republican presidential nominee in a long while (probably decades).

I think it was less than one week which passed between the October surprise of the "Access Hollywood" video and the debate with Hillary where the Trump campaign managed to have several of Bill's female victims in the audience.

Does anyone remember for sure?

The Donkees jumped the gun releasing the Access Hollywood video. Their original plan was to drop it on 10 October 2016, the Monday after the second debate, where it could be counted upon to neutralize any pro-Trump vibes from the preceding evening.

But instead, some over-eager staffer injected it into the Washington Post on Friday, 7 October.

That error gave the Donald time to counter-attack by recruiting Billy Jeff victim women to set the backdrop for the second debate in a special presser consisting of the Donald and four female victims.

Then, after the presser, he invited the four BJC victims into the debate audience, much to the distress of the wannabe First Gentleman.

All in all, the Witch spent $768m to Trump's $398m. That's a lot of lamps!

Thanks for the details of a GREAT moment. Wasn’t the look on Billy’s face absolutely priceless?

Never Trumpers need to get over their snits...
