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 knows better than this. He knows what we are seeing is a continuation of Obama’s and probably Bush’s policies as well. But his hatred of Trump is so strong that he is willing to lie to his readers.
Useless lump of flesh.
Hey George, go pound sand up your anal orifice right after you get your head out of it.
you never see rats ditching each other except in primaries...otherwise, they're stuck like glue...
George Will is just a shallow wordy idiot who pleases his masters...
I’m not thrilled to pieces that the policy suddenly changed on people who didn’t know... if in fact that was the case. Not thrilled to pieces. But I don’t know how else we would have gotten scatter-brained America to look at the fact that Congress wasn’t giving us anything sane. The families that really are families will likely be reunited soon, quietly, out of the spotlight.
George Will you ever believe this guy was once considered a conservative?
The guy has mental problems. BTW, Sen. McConnell call him a friend the other day on Fox.
This brief season of “Gotcha” seems to have gotten more than just illegales.
George Will passed his sell date a long time ago.
He is trying desperately trying to “be relevant” and get noticed.
With Republicans like this who needs Democrats?
Will is a very paleo paleoconservative.
A mover and shaker like Donald isn’t in his worldview.
Will is irrelevant, and he knows it. Bow-tied beltway snotball just lashing out like Kristol and the rest of the swells. They are so jealous of President Trump it’s driving them bat crap crazy.
I am so tired of being the world’s provider. Where is it written that we must endure and also pay for the invasion of our own country? I am tired of watching my own kids working two jobs to afford a decent life for their families as my husband did before them.
I am tired of being called Nazi, racist, fascist etc., because I want my country to maintain our distinct culture.
I have zero sympathy for anyone coming here illegally. We provide their corrupt governments with a safety valve. As long as they can send their unemployable poor north they never have to change anything in their own countries to better their people and we pay them foreign aid as well.
Enough.
Lost me when he thought Bush or Baker was a better alternative than Reagan in 1980.
America always had room for players, and it still should. The idea of a plethora of parasites is relatively new.
George Will, the Juan McCain of conservative media...
I think we could well have different programs for different places. Why don’t we have military schools for Guatemalan kids that don’t know what to do with themselves, for example.
