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.”

When will we see the LBJ vs Goldwater add..
Wasn’t that the question that they asked about Goldwater and then Reagan?
George Will is a snobby, Northeastern, tassel loafer wearing TWERP wearing a leather elbow-patch blazer.
I want to snatch off those spectacles and crunch them under my heel.
What George Will is really worried about is President Trump following through and stopping The Cheap Labor Express.
George’s paycheck depends on it.
I wish a few more people asked this question about Obama. And the mullahs.
Why not did we not just give them to Iran.
What happened to George?
Does he think its ok to give them to Iran? And if Iran has nukes who do you want on our side to be in command of our nukes??
Beats many alternatives. Beats some who have had it in the past and some who have it now. Frankly, that does not worry me at all. I am somewhat worried about where Trump stands on certain issues. I am not worried about the nuke issue. On security, I think he is an excellent choice.
Well George, The Donald is preferable to Hillary, and the Ayatollah.
Hillary would sell them to the highest bidder.
Usually irrelevant George Will is on a one man rear to trash Trump. I wonder what The Donald ever did to bow tie boy...
George keeps drawing Trump support lines in the sand. This is like the 4th one.
Here’s a newsflash George: “No one gives a rat’s ass what you think anymore.”
Yes!....Yes we do, George.
Well Trump wants to build the military so you don’t need the nukes.
Why not? Your Kenyan Prez and his UN butt buddies gave them to the ragheads.
Good point. What is George Will’s position on the Iran deal? I don’t follow him so I don’t know.
Will is saying what his masters tell him to.
Nothing happened to him. He's just being exposed for what he always has actually been...
the infowarrior
But he is just fine with Lord Foul, muslim in chief having had them ( to give to our enemies) all this time?
