George Will: Vote against GOP in midterms (6/22/18)
The Hill ^ | 06/22/18 | Justin Wise

Posted on 06/05/2019 3:21:10 PM PDT by detective

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 recent example of misrule" and 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."

This article is from June 2018 but it is very relevant today.

George Will is a Washington establishment self described conservative. Will is not a conservative. He Is a Trump hating establishment leftist. He supports the Democrats. The only Republicans he supports are dishonest losers like Romney and McCain.

In 2018 Will said that conservatives needed to vote for Democrats and give people like Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff and the others control of the House of Representatives.

In 2016, Will supported Clinton and opposed President Trump.

Will has a new book out.

No one should by it.

Will is NOT a conservative by any description. He’s a DC insider who wears a bow tie and watches baseball.

George Will is a great example of a man whose personal vanity and prejudices are far more important to him than any principles he ever claimed to hold. He was always a silly, self-important man who did conservatism no favors with his pontificating every weekend on ABC, and now he finishes his public career with a prolonged temper-tantrum against a president who is actually doing things conservatives want done.

America first, George! To blazes with you and your globalist cabal of pedophilic wannabe tyrants.

“George Will: Vote against GOP in midterms (6/22/18)”

What Will was advocating: elect many more Democrats and many fewer Republicans so that impeachment of President Trump would not only be possible, but conviction too.

Mr. W, your words and your opinions have zero sway on me. I will vote for who I want when the time comes. Not for who you say I should.

I remember when Bill O’Reilly made little George cry on the air by calling him a leftist partisan hack. It was sweet.

We simply have to say the poor people of the world can’t take almost all the remaining modest skill middle class jobs left in the USA.

We need to have the means of taking care of ourselves and our loved ones.

If we have to put our foot down firmly, we will put our foot down, unapologetically.

People in Central and South America and Africa need to do what most Asians have done, build up their own countries.

Call us the foulest names you can think of, but we’ll not cut our own throats or let others impoverish us.

I have no legal right to work or live except in the USA.

I can’t budge. I won’t budge.

Those who pandered to National Socialists regretted it.

Those who would pander to international socialists will regret it.

Never give people who failed in normal everyday life absolute power.

Dear George,

Unfortunately, you are less intelligent and informed than you think, by at least half (likely more). The world is a big place, and Boston is but a small, sometimes delusional part of it. For the record, speaking slowly with diction, and wearing a bow tie are not the equivalent of having insight.

To move forward the world requires diversity of thought, and one never knows where the most salient thoughts will come from. To think they will always come from establishment self-identified intellectuals is a very large miscalculation. That you think this way, makes it appear that you are quite shallow, and not the ‘big thinker’ that seems to be an essential part of your self image.

It’s not too late. You can still learn, and perhaps add substantively to the debate that frames our future. You will, however, need to embrace and learn humility. Have a good night George.

'nuff said.

That's impossible to come back from for anyone in his position (which is a bow-tied little smarmy twerp commentator who can be ignored.)
