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."

George Will is a never-Trumper jackass. Nothing he says matters.
“Off his meds”?
Sounds like he’s heavily into drugs.
George has to write this stuff from time to time so his wife will let him watch her put on her socks again.
He also does it to get invited to Erick Ericson’s next Losers Ball. Bill Kristol already RSVP’d.
Will, your unexercised muscles have atrophied from your head down to your feet. When the time comes, you’ll find you must crawl to leave the premises. Time to get your own tent, put on a gate to the property and stand guard that no one enters unless they meet your specifications.
What a load of BS Mr. Richard Cranium.
Wait. How does that position make him a “conservative columnist”?
F George Will. Why does he even matter at all?
Bravo Sierra he’s a conservative. That privilege is revoked. WTF is wrong with these people.
Ole George would have fit right in back in the 1770s living on Tore Row
Rest assured after Cornwallis’s surrender, George would have been the first to tell everyone how to live
I vote Republican so that I don’t end up in a concentration camp in Illinois run by ass-rapey SJW communist scum.
George thinks people listen to him.
He believes it is our moral duty to join him.
We used to read him but he discredited himself as a leftist gop-e - imho he’s worthless now. A waste of time to read or watch on the boob toon
Conservative in his fashion choices. Not much else.
A never Trumper.
Nothing to see here.

I’ve read the words three times and I’m still trying to figure out how enforcing the border, and the law as written, is MISRULE.
Will is a Democrat first, leftist second and never has stood for the rule of law.
Even now he whines about a weak legislature but only because it suits his interests. Couldn’t be bothered to say that for the last 8 years and was certainly aghast during the Clinton administration when Newt did run a strong legislature.
Like McCain he’s just another democrat plant.
He must have either a mistress or a new wife. That’s the only explanation of this creep.
Nevah-Trump!
