After Iowa, Will Republicans Finally get a Contest Without Trump?
Human Events ^ | Feb 8, 2016 | George Will

Posted on 02/08/2016 1:03:41 PM PST by detective

When Huck Finn asked Tom Sawyer what a Moslem is, Tom said a Moslem is someone who is not a Presbyterian, which is true, but not the whole truth. Donald Trump says he is a Presbyterian ("I drink my little wine . . . and have my little cracker"), which apparently was not good enough for enough of Iowa's evangelical Christians.

One person who left Iowa having earned the nation's gratitude is Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.). He campaigned with three Republican aspirants (Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina) in order to advance this year's most urgent task, which is to elevate the Republican race by removing the Trump distraction.

George Will really hates Trump. He won't even say what Republican candidate he supports.

There are also some analysis on how ridiculous Sander's positions are.

Ben Sasse thinks Paul Ryan is conservative and not a liar.

He (Will) won't even say what Republican candidate he supports.

Bitter little man, ain't he?

Love that frown, George!

He destroyed O'Reilly in their argument about Killing Reagan and O'Reilly will NOT forgive him for it.

BTW, George was right about that.

You know it’s bad when during his squabble with O’Reilly I was actually tempted to side with O’Reilly, just because Will is so unlikeable.

Ha. Yes he was. George suffers the loss of the establishment cocktail parties and Neo Con adulation.

George Will has a very similar disdain for Ronald Wilson Reagan, and relentlessly bashed RR in dozens of columns from 1979-1980.

“George Will really hates Trump. “

Serious question: Save for the entertainment, what is to like about Trump as a serious Presidential candidate for truly Conservative voters?

If Trump is pushed out by the GOPe then no doubt most of his supporters will stay home. Perhaps if Cruz is the candidate then some Trump supporters may come out for him. On the Dem side same thing could happen if Bernie gets booted unfairly. His supporters will stay home. This has to be the most interesting election in my life time.

“George Will really hates Trump. He won’t even say what Republican candidate he supports.”

This is also true of almost all Trump hater-commenters around the net. They are obsessed with hating Trump, talk about him incessantly, no matter the subject of the thread, and never mention another candidate.

I find it strange. I think many are just scared Democrats.

George Will is intelligent and knowledgeable. He was right about O’Riley’s Killing Reagan book. It was a terrible book. Many people who knew Reagan said so.

But George for some reason just hates Donald Trump.

He is neither a communist nor a lawyer.

Or maybe it’s all a plot where they hate on him, but it’s all prearranged, so that by hating on him they make him more popular, and when he wins out even with the media hate, he’s just the guy they want!?!?!?!

I thought he’d make a great VP for Trump.....didn’t realize he was a Cruzer. Obviously he has not integrity which is why his support is with a gut who waves the Bible but doesn’t live it. Oh well Ben’s loss.
