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)

I love this ...

“I think I have a much higher IQ ... You have these guys like George Will. He sits with the little spectacles. If he didn’t have the spectacles, you wouldn’t think he’s smart because he’s wrong so much.”

"Groupthink being a coinage -- and, admittedly, a loaded one -- a working definition is in order. We are not talking about mere instinctive conformity -- it is, after all, a perennial failing of mankind. What we are talking about is a rationalized conformity -- an open, articulate philosophy which holds that group values are not only expedient but right and good as well."

(William H. Whyte Jr.)

You are talking about a guy who is a Chicago Cubs fan. A team who hasn't won a Worlds Series in OVER 100 Years!

Loser!

He is the LAST person to predict an out come of ANY election!

George Will and Bill Kristol supporting Hillary is a gift to Trump. Bring it on!

The Washington DC establishment will be an anchor around Hillary’s neck! These pundits all have liberal, pro-war, pro-globalism agenda. It won’t be good for anyone to get their support.

I hope *all* the Washington DC pundits support Hillary in grand fashion.

Follow the Money. The whole lot of RINOS sell out the Conservatives for fame and/or Fortune.

With a Conservative in charge they don’t get to drive the gravy train and blame the Democrats.

FUGW!

That's kind of funny.

If Will really thinks this was, it may be a sign of senility.

Stick with baseball, George. We didn’t need further confirmation that you are owned.

‘’... if Trump wins the Presidency, George Will won’t invite him to his Georgetown Townhouse for dinner.’’

George Will did host OBAMA at his townhouse after his election. I recall Krauthammer saying that. Krauthammer who, BTW, went to the same dinner eager to meet Obama. At that time he said he wasn’t sure what kind of a president Obama would be. (We all knew; why didn’t this alleged brainiac know? All of us had access to the same information.”

As I have said, the GOPe would rather lose to Hillary than win with Trump or Cruz.

Like most RINOs, George is very comfortable playing the Gentleman Loser role.

What really bugs me about all these RINO losers is that they fight tooth and nail against any conservative. They know how to fight, they know how to play dirty, whether it is Boehner or Cochran or George Will. That they play nice with progressives while fighting to the death against conservatives tells me as much as anything that they are also progressives.

There will be no country in 2020 to care about if Hillary wins.

this is a case of cutting the child in half.

George would gladly see it done.

That was my point. #;^)

Waiting for David Brock of the NYT to admire the crease in Hillary’s Pantsuit like he did Obama’s Pants at the Dinner.

So it IS true that a man can fit both his feet in his mouth at the same time.

One of the great pleasures of watching Donald Trumps rise, is watching George Will’s demise.
