George Will has sadly reduced himself to a small man of big words
American Thinker ^ | 07/18/2019 | Richard Jack Rail

For President in 2020, George Will comes out for Senator Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), the lefty who's progressive but not crazy. Personally, Bennet's announcement was the first I've ever heard of the guy, and it's jarring that Will, for no other apparent reason than Trump animus, is now beating drums for Democrats. He was once well thought of by Republicans.

Will has revealed himself to be another small-minded little man of big words. That's what the Left always loved about him. Like Adlai Stevenson, he sounded smart and well read and went to the best schools and conducted himself with appropriate arrogance, sniffing disapprovingly of the unwashed and finding America falling ever short. Those superficial traits will take you far in the liberal Game of Thrones once you get your foot in the door.

There was a time when Will really did contribute meaningfully to the national discourse, but with the passage of years, we see his true self coming into relief. He never was a conservative or even a classical liberal. He has always been the little boy who couldn't play baseball or football, trying to get attention by sounding clever. It worked for a lotta years, before the rest of us caught on to the larger game.

To be sure, he still fits right in at Georgetown cocktail parties, but that's because he goes around shouting that Donald Trump is the worst president of all time. Had he gotten to know Trump before the latter's ascension to the highest office in the land, Will would have found The Donald a fun, agreeable guy, as Piers Morgan did, and would now be defending him, as Morgan has.

So George and Donald never happened, and Will can't take back all the invective he's hurled at the president.

George Will is sad that we are rejecting the life’s work of Bush League Republicans like himself to turn the USA into North Mexico.

Remember waaaay back, when SNL considered George Will a real Conservative..?

They hated his G.D. guts..!

So they made this great 4 min parody showing him as the unrelatable, snooty northeastern PINHEAD that he really has been this whole time.

And is more now than ever:

Not even close...

Perhaps if somebody would give this guy Nats and Orioles season tickets he’d spend his life at the ballpark and quit writing.

George Will has lost it. Driven to losing his mind due to TDS.

That is too bad. Now shut the F up.

I think forcing someone to watch the Orioles is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

I’m glad he switched to the party he truly belongs in. The problem with the R party is it has too many people who are truly Ds.

Big Cubs fan. I used to read his columns, and I listened to his commentary when he came to FOX. Being a close from with Krauthammer, also gave him some credence in my eye.

Then, the Trump bashing started, and it was clear that he, like many, had a visceral hatred for Trump, (known as Never Trump), that is terminal.

I don’t know the feeling, since I was 100% with Trump from the get go. My brother wasn’t, and to this day, we’ve stopped talking politics.

Like Will, these people are small men who fail to realize that the USA, as a country was really on the verge of going the way of other successful civilizations, like Greece and
Rome and Britain.

No doubt that China had our number, or I should say the whole Asian area. We were seeing in real time our decay.

The only thing remaining was for China to take that first big step...that would show our weakness.

1. Not coming to the aid of Taiwan
2. Accepting China’s dominance in the South China Sea
3. China basing war ships in the WEstern Hemiphere

etc etc etc.

Americans have never been conquered, but no doubt we had leaders that were letting that happen slowly.

George Bush in my mind, is only a click or two better than OBama who was the worst president of my time along with Jimmy Carter.

He’s a guy who should have retired back around 15 years ago.

William F. Buckey - Libs could stand him cuz his intellect and vocabulary were skull-crushing

George Will - Tolerable cuz he’s a boutique conservative, someone who’s snooty and cerebral and they could put on display, like a doll in a glass case. Better, while he does periodically mouth certain platitudes of garden-variety conservativism, he still emerges as totally unthreatening.

I never saw two guys like Will and Bill Kristol self destruct so fast. One day they are Pundits on TV all the time and shortly after their Anti=Trump rants they became invisible. I hope their families still love them as they must be feeling awfully lonely.
