George Will: Trump is no longer the worst person in government (Pence is)
Washington Compost ^ | May 9, 2018 | George Will

Posted on 05/10/2018 6:25:08 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew. The oleaginous Mike Pence, with his talent for toadyism and appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America’s most repulsive public figure. And Pence, who has reached this pinnacle by dethroning his benefactor, is augmenting the public stock of useful knowledge. Because his is the authentic voice of today’s lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year’s elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing.

Last June, a Trump Cabinet meeting featured testimonials offered to Dear Leader by his forelock-tugging colleagues. His chief of staff, Reince Priebus, caught the spirit of the worship service by thanking Trump for the “blessing” of being allowed to serve him. The hosannas poured forth from around the table, unredeemed by even a scintilla of insincerity. Priebus was soon deprived of his blessing, as was Tom Price. Before Price’s ecstasy of public service was truncated because of his incontinent enthusiasm for charter flights, he was the secretary of health and human services who at the Cabinet meeting said, “I can’t thank you enough for the privileges you’ve given me.” The vice president chimed in but saved his best riff for a December Cabinet meeting when, as The Post’s Aaron Blake calculated, Pence praised Trump once every 12 seconds for three minutes: “I’m deeply humbled. . . . ” Judging by the number of times Pence announces himself “humbled,” he might seem proud of his humility, but that is impossible because he is conspicuously devout and pride is a sin.

Between those two Cabinet meetings, Pence and his retinue flew to Indiana for the purpose of walking out of an Indianapolis Colts football game, thereby demonstrating that football players kneeling during the national anthem are intolerable to someone of Pence’s refined sense of right and wrong.

George Will has become a nasty, hate-filled man.

George, McCain and other faux conservatives are all for it when they are in the deep minority like 60-40 in the Senate. But they incrementally back away the closer it comes to 50 50. However, they will not embrace the crown when in the majority and run away from it and bash anyone who does embrace it.

George is now allying with Woody Harrelson when it comes to Pence. Harrelson went to college with Pence at Hanover and said they were friends. But, he could not be today.

George clearly has not reached the acceptance stage.

He jumped long ago. He is useless and has no idea what he is talking about.

George Will working overtime to preserve his standing among leftist elites in the swamp.

He’s been doing this for years.

One of the great things about Trump is that he’s exposed so many cucks like Will.

“His verbal gymnastics impress me because the thoughts underlying them don’t. Like a thin veil once removed display an insipid and vain man-child.”

An obnoxious twit.

He's (George Will) gone off the deep end

He's one of those never-Trumpers who has nothing but degradation and insults for the party's voting fodder when the elitists didn't get their candidate.

One GREAT thing President Trump's candidacy and time in office has accomplished. We know who the traitorous backstabbers are. The bad news is that it seems to be a majority of Republican US Senators and "conservative" media types.

As the prospect of actually getting rid of Trump becomes dimmer and dimmer these people are just going off the rails. Will just looks like a fool. And attacking Pence is a fools errand and by the way no one is impressed with your vocabulary asshat.

George Will has jumped the shark.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

It’s worse than that .... what a nasty, unhinged article. I suspect Will’s brain currently looks like Swiss cheese & the holes are growing larger with every piece like this he writes.
