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...

This man has had zero influence over the years. Yes, he gained his notoriety during the Reagan years but he was just hitching a free ride. Not influential.

George Will, the sack of putrid crap, should have assumed room temperature instead of Krauthammer.

Why doesn’t Guatemala have military schools for Guatemalan kids? We are already 22 Trillion dollars in debt and now we are accepting even more debt for people who have no respect nor love for this nation? Why?

When did we become the world’s nanny? When we go bust where will we go for the American dream?

It's hard to believe the fugly bow-tied prissy p*ssy was a womanizer, but how so.

Surprise George by stripping him of his US citizenship, since he seems to care so little for it now.

"Will added. "Congressional Republicans (congressional Democrats are equally supine toward Democratic presidents) have no higher ambition than to placate this president."

If that were true an immigration bill would have already been passed and ObamaCare repeal would have passed. The Republicans are a mess but they sure as heck are faultless when it comes to a charge they blindly follow this President. So Will's statement makes no logical sense.

George Will is just a putrid never-Trumper throwing out Article this and Article that to try and justify his hatred for Trump and try and appear intellectual.

"Congressional Republicans... have no higher ambition than to placate this president."

Where has this dumb sumbitch been? Cong. Repubs are hopelessly trifurcated, and fully a third of them refuse to support Trump's agenda.

2 things about these Trump haters

1. They also hate America and the people

2. Instead of being as intelligent as they think they are, they show their absolute ignorance .. knowing the country is doing great, but stop the one responsible.
