George Will: Trump and DeSantis will be GOP primary losers
Yahoo ^ | Fri, July 14, 2023 | Nick Roberson

Conservative commentator George Will criticized 2024 GOP primary favorites former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in a column Friday, saying that both candidates will come out of the GOP primary weaker.

“The 2024 Republican nomination question was supposed to be: Could anyone harpoon the Great Orange Whale? Who knew that he would harpoon himself, repeatedly? Or that DeSantis, playing Captain Ahab, would pay Trump the sincerest form of flattery by imitating his persona as an unhappy warrior?” Will wrote in a Washington Post column.

Sad to think or say, but I do not think you are far off here.

In George Wills mind I bet it is Pence.

I am living in Florida for 7 years. It was good the day I arrived, and absolutely nothing has changed under DeSantis.
Thanks to Trump deSantis won in a squeaker during first run.

Ok DeDantis is good on social issues but he is now for continuing useless war in Ukraine. He is a windsock for his donor class.

George Will...contributor for some idiotic publication???

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

So satisfying to see this

Actually I thought he died. But it’s WORSE...he’s alive and TOTALLY IRRELEVENT.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

I think this is correct.

Although I would say though i don’t live in FL, the insurance rate increases some people are reporting, on vehicles as well as houses, dwarf anything they would pay from some Democrat tax increase.

If that is widespread, it creates a huge political vulnerability if Dems seize that issue, and Repubs go into Donor Protect Mode: ‘”da’ free market, muh’ capitalism!”

Good thing I cancelled my home insurance this year. State Farm made mucho profits from me since 1970 when I bought my first home. I never collected a dime.

In 2015 Will said if Trump wins the nomination, he would destroy the GOP😂

George Will is the Paul Krugman of political analysis.

“Remember when ‘conservative’ luminary George Will had a grovelling dinner party wherein he kissed the ring of Bathhouse? I believe Bill Kristol and David Brooks were also guests.”

Oh, yes. Also in attendance was Charles Krauthammer. IIRC, it was just after Hussein was elected. I saw an interview with CH once who mentioned that dinner at Will’s when he would meet Obama. At the time he wasn’t sure whether BO would be a good president or not.

I thought, “WTF?!” WE knew exactly what kind of a president BO would be. At that moment I lost all respect for CH. He definitely wasn’t the genius people said he was, and he thought he was.

You can take this guy and Ann Coulter together, and stamp “insignificant” on their forehead...

Anything and everything they publish is mental masturbation.

And to think, there was a time, when I would search daily for their columns to read...
