George F. Will: The havoc Trump wreaks
MercuryNews.com ^ | 08/26/2015 | George F. Will

Posted on 08/26/2015 7:14:29 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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.

The GOPe, by ruling against the interests and wishes of the American people, allowed Trump to excel.

“...he will need 65 percent of the white vote.”

In other words, according to George Will, we have the option of either giving the country away or having it taken from us.

Donald has all the right enemies. It's astounding, really.

He sure does. The part that George Will consistently gets wrong is that there is a SIZEABLE portion of the electorate who's voices have been stifled, and not just by the Democrat party!

How many years do we have to think back to a time when the RINO Establishment wasn't telling their core base to sit down, stfu and vote Republican? 20? 30? 40?

The fact is that Trump's complete disruption of the Republican Party is exactly what's needed right now. The GOP-E certainly does not represent or even want Conservatives anymore in the Republican Party. Their "use" for us is to show up, vote and shut up.

No more.

OMG. I just defended Trump and I don't support him. Well, time to change that I suppose.

Game. Set. Match. Wish I could have said it as succinctly.

SPOT ON. That’s been the entire purpose of this devious yet obvious enterprise!

Ask yourself WHY, during his recent trip to Kenya, obozo pledged over 50 million bucks to that corrupt government for A VOTER ID PROGRAM as his Just Us department has blown well over that amount trying to PREVENT STATES FROM REQUIRING PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP HERE??

How could we make it through a week without this pompous ass telling us what we think and why we think it, at least a couple of times?

It is amazing that George Will continues to spout this nonsense.

Trump, win or lose, is speaking for the people who the establishment despises. The very people that Will is attempting to convince.

If Trump is going to fail it will be of hos own doing, not anything that is written about him by the likes of George Will.

So the GOP wants MORE non-whites to invade. They want to ethnically cleanse white Americans out of existence. Everything they do helps decrease the percentage of white Americans.

Finally there’s a Republican who knows how to toss the slings and arrows back. Leave it to George to cluck over how unseemly it looks to him.
