George Will: Vote against GOP in midterms
The Hill ^ | 06/22/18 | Justin Wise

Posted on 06/22/2018 2:57:01 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Conservative columnist George Will is making the argument to vote against Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

In a piece published Friday in the Washington Post, Will says that President Trump's "zero tolerance" policy at the border was "the most telegenic example of misrule" and it provided “fresh if redundant evidence for the principle by which” independents and moderate Republicans should vote.

That principle he says is that the number of Republicans in office must be “substantially reduced.”

"The principle: The congressional Republican caucuses must be substantially reduced. So substantially that their remnants, reduced to minorities, will be stripped of the Constitution’s Article I powers that they have been too invertebrate to use against the current wielder of Article II powers," Will wrote. "They will then have leisure time to wonder why they worked so hard to achieve membership in a legislature whose unexercised muscles have atrophied because of people like them."

Will targets House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and many other Republican lawmakers for serving as the "president’s poodles."

"Not because James Madison’s system has failed but because today’s abject careerists have failed to be worthy of it," Will added. "Congressional Republicans (congressional Democrats are equally supine toward Democratic presidents) have no higher ambition than to placate this president."

ETC...

There are no moderate Dems left. They have been purged. An election in favor of Dems is a move toward Stalinism.

Go back under your rock, George. You might find Billy Kristol already there.
You should be giving respectful tributes to your late pal, Krauthammer. He too was a #NeverTrumper, but he learned to accept our president and not continue trying to destroy him.

...and give control back to the democrats? Uh, why?

To have Obamacare reinstated? Take back tax cuts for working folks? Open borders? More job killing government regulation? Lower our economic growth rate? More government corruption?

Yea...NO!

And how exactly is Ryan Trump’s poodle?

Notice that Brit-ism: poodle. That’s entirely British and must be mother’s milk to Will’s fake aristocracy.

Wow! That’s a pretty messed up thing to say, George. Why don’t you just go back to sleep.
