George Will: Beating Hillary Less Important Than Stopping Trump
Brietbart's Big Government ^ | December 24, 2015 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 12/24/2015 12:29:47 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

As the end of the year approaches, Donald Trump is solidly ensconced at the top of the Republican polls nationally. The man just behind him? Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) , an establishment bugaboo. The establishment’s favorite candidate, Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) , is currently running far behind in national polling, a distant third in Iowa, and in a deadlock with Cruz and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for second in New Hampshire.

Panic time.

So, here’s the establishment roundup for Christmas week.

If You Support Donald Trump, You Want to Lose. Earlier this week, Bret Stephens of The Wall Street Journal unleashed a petulant column accusing all Trump and Cruz backers of begging for defeat. “Let us now pledge to elect Hillary Clinton as the 45th president of the United States,” he snarked. “Let’s do this because it’s what we want. Maybe secretly, maybe unconsciously, but desperately. We want four—and probably eight—more years of cable-news neuralgia. We want to drive ourselves to work as Mark Levin or Laura Ingraham scratch our ideological itches until they bleed a little. We want the refiner’s fire that is our righteous indignation at a country we claim no longer to recognize—ruled by impostors and overrun by foreigners.” Stephens specifically singled out Cruz for criticism, calling him a flip-flopper “happy to be on any side of an issue so long as he can paint himself as a ‘real Republican.’”(continued)

The government uni-party must win at any cost; the people be damned. We must go forward with the totalitarian state.

Does Will even know what he’s saying?

This is the sort of thing that I don't understand. Mind you: it's not surprising -- George Will is George Will. But still ...

He is old and rich and famous. His reputation is that of a "conservative" pundit.

And the Republican Party has an EXCELLENT chance of controlling the House, the Senate, the White House, and the majority of the states. And Will's message is: "Vote for Hillary."

She's a crazy old Leftwing extremist! Why? Why would a "conservative" pundit even think that was a good idea?? Okay, Will supports the Establishment and Hillary clearly very "Establishment" and Trump is clearly not.

But Will gives away the entire game -- there is only One Party and it is the Establishment Party.

The illusion of choice is being swept away -- you can have "six" or you can have "half a dozen" ... or you can have Trump.

I agree....but in the last year or so in particular, he seems to have “lost it”.

Beating the GOPe / RINO Caucus of the Uniparty is more important than anything else this election cycle.

Bite it, George.

I’m one of the few people who have really liked George Will and given him a pass for some of his transgressions, but this one takes the cake. He considers it better to have Hillary in the White House than Trump?! That is just sick. I don’t care how outrageous and brash Trump might be (and I don’t), but how could you prefer a lying, criminal, mendacious, arrogant, corrupt, filthy, disgusting, pig like Hillary in the Oval Office over a guy who has accomplished a lot, is too wealthy to bribe, has never been even accused of criminal or corrupt conduct and obviously places the welfare of America and Americans over himself in terms of wanting to improve every aspect of the average person’s lot?

Just insane. TDS all the way.

Goldberg, Barbour, and most of those named. I’ve never seen the slightest proof that they care about my interests.
So here’s my middle finger to them. The dirty truth is that besides Reagan who they hated the gop is not conservative.
Hastert turned out to be a homo along with many others in the gop. They flood the country with Mexicans. They pal around with moslems.
But all along, they act conservative.

Very selective reporting. Read the article. No where did George Will say “Beating Hillary Less Important Than Stopping Trump”. He said (paraphrasing) If you want to beat Hillary, your first priority must be to ensure Trump is not the nominee because Trump cannot beat Hillary. Anyone with first grade reading comprehension capabilities should be able to distinguish the difference.

George is just another beltway insider looking down his nose at the great unwashed.
