On “Fox News Sunday,” conservative columnist George Will said voters will eventually turn on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump when they ask themselves “Do we really want to give nuclear weapons to Donald Trump?”
Will said, “What’s going on is that those deemed least qualified to be president, are most qualified to do what the voters want done today, 160 days before the first votes are cast in Iowa, which is send a message. That was George Wallace’s engaging theme in 1968. He said, ‘Send them a message!’ The antecedent of the pronoun ‘them’ was anything you wanted it to be. So, that’s what they’re doing. This is a version of the 1960s fad called primal scream therapy, you’re supposed to shout, and get rid of all your repressed pain from childhood. This is, of course, particularly so for Mr. Trump, and what makes him fragile as a candidate is, first of all, he’s a one-trick pony. He consists of saying, I’m rich, everyone who disagrees with me is stupid, and all our problems are simple, if you’ll put me in charge. Second, people haven’t yet reminded themselves of the peculiar intimacy we live with our presidents now. They’re in our living room every night, they’re constantly in the national consciousness. And third, since we are, at the end of this, going to send a president, people have to say, ‘Do we really want to give nuclear weapons to Donald Trump?’ At which point, I think things change.”

So why doesn’t the Press report just the facts?
What is the reason for such an incredible failure by the press to inform the American people of the dire state of their government under Barack Obama? There are several.
Many advisors to Obama are married into the media, or have worked in media themselves prior to joining the administration. Both Ben Rhodes and Susan Rice have familial connections with powerful executive in (what was once known as) the free press.
Four times more journalists identify as liberal compared to conservative. Evidently, with the case of Brian Williams coming to light, some in the media don’t care about the truth and would rather make up bald-faced lies.
Yet the biases above don’t fully explain the conspicuous silence of the mainstream press on the Muslim Brotherhood. For it is no longer bias or loyalty that sway the press, but fear.
The Obama administration has proved that it will stonewall, punish, illegally wiretap, and in general make life difficult for inquisitive members of the press. Case in point, Sharyl Attkisson, who refused go along with the official lies regarding Benghazi. Her documented harassment by the administration sends the intended message, and most spineless editors and producers listen: shut up and report what we say, or else!
Overseas, an aggressive Russia is looking to reassert the power it had under the Czars and the Soviets. Civil unrest in Ukraine has resulted in a war that threatens Russia’s economic security. Simultaneously, Russian-allied Syria, on the Mediterranean, is under attack by U.S.-backed terrorists, who are referred to by the administration and parroting media as “moderates” (that, according to Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper).
When it comes to the genocide and cultural annihilation of Middle Eastern Christians and other minorities, the word is in Washington is mum.
Today’s parallels with the 1930s are hard to miss. In an ominous signal of what may come, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called all European Jews to Israel. All signs point to the conclusion that a much broader war is on the horizon unless something big changes, and fast. And because our allies have very little trust in us, as we continue to back a genocidal Islamic movement, the country finds itself with few international friends and in considerable danger.
If we want to change our future, it behooves us to face reality, no matter what it is. The Muslim Brotherhood is not going to disappear on its own – they are too entrenched. One potential first step would be to formally designate that the Muslim Brotherhood and all affiliated groups are terrorist entities. This has already been done in Egypt, Russia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. It is most definitely not “Islamophobic.”
Following the designation, patriotic law enforcement must conduct a thorough investigation of all levels of government, and prosecute all guilty parties according to the Constitution.
Most urgently, the people must demand action! Before too much more time passes, before it is too late.
So George Will is doing what he’s told to do because he’d been paid up front to do it....
hell yes.
Because if George Will would be afraid he would used them then SO WOULD OUR ENEMIES.
They know that girlie-man Obama would never use them.
George Will has apparently been designated point against Trump, but all he does is expose the hypocrisies of the Left that Trump feeds on. Look at this one - what WOULD Trump do with nukes? Pretend you are an ISIS member, does the question confuse you?
Will’s problem is that half America already hates the Left for the traitors they are, so his arguments can only play to his home crowd of hardliner communists. Even the liberals see Trump as the alpha they crave, now that Hillary got them to dump their husbands and emasculate their boys and, as a result, live in constant fear.
Nah, let’s give them to Iran instead.
George will backed James Baker over Reagan and then George Bush over Reagan. Will said Reagan cannot win! It makes sense that Will wo is wrong about everything would again be for another Bush over Trump who is most like Reagan.
I'll take that question seriously when you can show me where you asked it pre-election about the insane fascist tyrant Osama, er Ebola, oh, you know who I mean. Till then, shut your trap, RINO.
Oh, I don’t know...THE MUSLIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE is using them as leverage against Israel and our own nation, what could be worse?
George Will has jumped the shark, lost a few bricks, joined the Dark Side, he’s gone.
This is where I wish this site had a favorite button. I would have favorited this response.
I remember as a kid the day after Reagan got elected, a girl next to me in high school was whining about it, saying that we would now be going to war. Can’t trust Reagan with the bomb, etc, etc. George Will was great 30 years ago. Today, not so much.
Absolutely, Mr. K!!!!
Dear George Will: Many "journalists" made the same argument about Ronald Reagan, right? Same with Clinton, right George?
Now George, if I may call you that, didn't you and a bunch of other "journalists," NOT ask the same thing of Baraq 0bama? Hmmm...
Maybe I know why you, and your cohorts didn't vet 0bama about nuclear weapons. Because you thought 0bama was a pacifist (read: pussy), and didn't care, right George?
A pox on your house.

george will is a has-been nobody. Who cares what he thinks or asks?
“What happened to George?”
______________________________
Nothing. Bear in mind this is the same pundit who refused to comment on Vince Foster’s likely murder and did his best to remain aloof as Whitewater came and went. Mr Will thinks it is ungentlemanly to get down in the mud.
The “Trump Effect” is that so many moles are having to out themselves to deal with him. Conversely, many others who are PCLocked now feel free to speak their minds.
We gave them to Obama!
George and Peggy Noonan probably go to the same cocktail parties and talk about the things they agree on ...all very top drawer.
Truly pathetic... and desperate - I trust Trump will be eviscerating him soon in his patented style.
Will is a real Trump hater...it shows George.
George you can keep on carrying the water for the GOPe, but no one is listening anymore. Your day is over George, and it is time for you to retire quietly to you gated little community. Sit down in your favorite recliner George, turn on the baseball game, pet your cat, and shut the heck up.
