George Will: Trump nomination would destroy GOP
The Hill ^ | December 24, 2015, | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 12/24/2015 7:15:06 AM PST by rdl6989

George Will is warning that if the GOP nominates Donald Trump for president, it would be the "end" of the conservative party.

“Conservatives’ highest priority now must be to prevent Trump from winning the Republican nomination in this, the GOP’s third epochal intraparty struggle in 104 years,” he writes in a new Washington Post column Thursday.

I would like to see a new conservative party develop.

What does the GOP really stand for?

Is it just going to be Democrat or socialist lite??? Just not as extreme as the Democrats as that party has gone left??

If its just going to be Democrat lite then why would strong conservatives who are Devoted to conservative principles, support the GOP??

It might be good to destroy the ‘conservative in relation to Democrat party’, to get a truly Conservative party.

quite deluded if he thinks republicans are conservative

Actually, the republicans are conservative.

The Republicans on the other hand for the most part couldn't even give you a decent definition of "republic" without Google.

You ought to at least be able to do that to qualify as being "republican".

Hey George, why don’t you go interview Franklin Graham and/or Phyllis Schafly? You need some perspective from beyond the Beltway.

We want Trump because:

ONE: He will Make America Great Again...

TWO: Get the immigrants and people that like living in cesspools out of our Country...

THREE: Help our Veterans and Wounded Warriors...

FOUR: Get a better tax plan than the one we have...

FIVE: Get rid of obumacare and get something Americans can afford...

SIX: Build a wall...

SEVEN: Fix our inter structure...

EIGHT: Bring back jobs for America and Americans...

NINE: Reduce our budget and get rid of government waste...

TEN: Improve our visa program so some people cannot come in and if they come in, the day their visa ends, they are on a plane out of our Country...

People like George Will are in mortal fear that they won't have their jobs anymore, most of us Americans know what they feels like, it's time the tables were turned and these lying media; talking heads; RINO base; GOPe; Wall Street people feel what's it like!!!

It’s hysterical. The gop which has been ignoring its backers now suddenly is begging its backers to dump Trump. Tough shit!

Neither is Trump


But who would be the lead candidates right now and what issues would we be talking about (and not talking about, more importantly) if not for Trump?

It would be comforting to think that nomination of election of Donald Trump would drive this famously intellectual American Tory into retirement.

My comment from a previous thread on this story:

Well, well. If Will thinks a Trump nomination will destroy the GOP, well then good riddance. So be it. We would do well to get rid of the RINO GOP establishment types who, except for their label and elephant logo, aren't distinguishable from the democRATS except they talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

It's all one big "Screw-the-American-People, Power-to-the-Elites" party in DC now.

Let me take it a little further.

George Will has no convictions whatsoever. He is a political takedown artist currently employed by the Republican establishment.

Every word he writes, every word he speaks on air is an attempt to promote the establishment and destroy all interlopers.

He is a practiced and accomplished liar, whether through omission, selective edits or out right.

As is Krauthammer, Kristol, Kelly, etc...

Reading between the lines in George Will’s diatribe, what I’m seeing is that George Will is deeply uncomfortable with extremely basic concepts of customer service which forms the backbone of Capitalism itself. Will, apparently, is an idealist. Trump is a pragmatist. Philosophically Will is a rationalist, Trump is an empiricist.

We live in the real world Mr. Will, not Washington.

Godspeed and Merry Christmas to Ted Cruz and Donald Trump !


A 2,000 "solid" mile on the US-Mexico border ... Islamic Immigrants from Syria DEPORTED ... Constitutional Moratorium on Moslem Immigration ... Illegal Mexicans DEPORTED ... Common Core CANCELED ... Planned Parenthood PROSCECUTED and DEFUNDED ... Israel supported ... US-Iran deal shredded ... Club Gitmo re-opened ... ISIS "exterminated" ... Disney (et al) H1B Visa corporate abuse PROSCECUTED ...



Donald Trump certainly has an interesting past ... both positive and negative from a Conservative viewpoint (and I'm a rock-ribbed Conservative, Ted Cruz supporter) ...


However ... Yeb Bush and his $ 100 million dollar GOPe-RINO campaign fund was designed to DESTROY political Conservaties like Ted Cruz in this election cycle ...

NOT "get along with" Conservatives ... rather DESTROY them ... like the political bastard Mitt Romney destroyed Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum (etc) in 2012.


Who really wants a repeat of the 2012 GOPe DEBACLE ?


So who is responsible for Yeb Bush at 3%, Marco "Amnesty" Rubio at 10%, John Kasisch at 1% ... who ? .. who ? ...

We all know the answer ... Donald Trump ... without spending a DIME on TV commercials ...

NOT Ted Cruz, whose brilliant conservatism was TARGETED for DESTRUCTION by the Karl Rove GOPe-RINO DC Washington Cartel and their $ 100 million ...


Donald Trump has "genuinely" kicked Yeb Bush's political butt like General George Patton rescued the 101st Airborne at Bastogne in Christmas 1944 ...


What's the conclusion to this epic political saga ?

President Ted Cruz, VP Donald Trump ...

Hillary and Jeb consigned to the political dustbin of history ...

A 2,000 "solid" mile on the US-Mexico border ... Islamic Immigrants fro Syria DEPORTED ... Constitutional Moratorium on Moslem Immigration ... Illegal Mexicans DEPORTED ... Common Core CANCELED ... Planned Parenthood PROSCECUTED and DEFUNDED ... Israel supported ... US-Iran deal shredded ... Club Gitmo re-opened ... ISIS "exterminated" ... Disney (et al) H1B Visa corporate abuse PROSCECUTED ...

Mitch McConnell FORCED to resign and replaced by Jeff Sessions ...

Paul Ryan FORCED to resign and replaced by Louis Gohmert ...

Reince Pribus FORCED out and replaced by Jim DeMint ...


What's not to love, America ?


Godspeed and Merry Christmas to Ted Cruz and Donald Trump !

“George Will is warning that if the GOP nominates Donald Trump for president, it would be the “end” of the conservative party.’

Since there is no conservative party, Donald Trump can not end it.

The GOP is already destroyed. So, what’s Will’s point?
