WASHINGTON -- Every sulfurous belch from the molten interior of the volcanic Trump phenomenon injures the chances of a Republican presidency. After Donald Trump finishes plastering a snarling face on conservatism, any Republican nominee will face a dauntingly steep climb to reach even the paltry numbers that doomed Mitt Romney.
It is perhaps quixotic to try to distract Trump's supporters with facts, which their leader, who is no stickler for dignity, considers beneath him. Still, consider these:
The white percentage of the electorate has been shrinking for decades and will be about 2 points smaller in 2016 than in 2012. If the Republicans' 2016 nominee does not do better than Romney did among nonwhite voters, he will need 65 percent of the white vote. Romney did even slightly worse among Asian-Americans than among Hispanics. Evidently minorities generally detected Republican ambivalence, even animus about them. This was before Trump began receiving rapturous receptions because he obliterates inhibitions about venting hostility.

Funny George Will didn’t like G. Bush SR.
I have often thought Will tied his Bowtie too tight, cutting off brain circulation.
>> Every sulfurous belch from the molten interior of the volcanic &etc
What a coincidence, George. That’s kinda how I have categorized pretty much everything you have written for the past, oh, fifteen or twenty years.
Including the sulfurous belch you write about baseball.
Will again shows his contempt for those outside his cultured class. This pseudo-Democrat and gun grabber is a P.C. liberal who occasionally masquerades as a conservative for purposes of the game.
Does Will really think that the GOP will get minority voters by out pandering the democrats?
Does he really believe Hispanics will vote for another Ivy League Bush because he married a Mexican and speaks Spanitch?
What do these guys drink all weekend while they write?
George Will is a nice man - but doesn’t live in the real world.
From the guy who was all for saying the 14th amendment did not cover anchor babies; until he now says it does.
Who the hell does Will actually speak for? Check pantsed country club republicans?
George Will picks his nose and eats it
Will knows that Trump supporters will never vote for a rino. That means he’s accepted that the rinos will lose so he’s looking early for someone to blame.
Wow, the hatred of Trump is astounding, these pundits can’t even write without spewing venom and blood coming from wherever.....
Apparently George Will has not seen the recent polling data that shows that Trump is beating Hillary by a wider margin than any of the other candidates..
The white percentage of the electorate has been shrinking for decades BECAUSE of unfettered legal and illegal immigration!
If there was an Assly ManBoy site, Gorge would be found out.
This guy is way overdue for an atomic wedgie.
George Will speaks for the 9% of the Republicans represented by Jebediah Bush..
