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 Constitutions 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 "presidents poodles."
"Not because James Madisons system has failed but because todays 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 so much better than us.
Yes indeed He is, in his puss pocked brin for sure.
Never trust a man wearing a bow tie.
What’s the matter, Deacon?
Afraid you supply of hotdogs and walnut sauce from Port au Prince will dry up?
‘bout what I’d expect from a Cubs fan.
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?
A turd in a bowtie.
Surprise George by stripping him of his US citizenship, since he seems to care so little for it now.
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.
He was a clinton shill. How is this any different?
Where has this dumb sumbitch been? Cong. Repubs are hopelessly trifurcated, and fully a third of them refuse to support Trump's agenda.
George Will is just a better looking version of Jennifer Rubin ...
Who would ever take the advice of a toupee-wearing dork gussied up with bow ties?
George Will is the professor emeritus of Cheap Labor Express propagandists.
Give this man a free helicopter ride.
This piece of shiite denounced REAGAN as well, until; 4 days before his 1980 election.
George Will knows this is obamas and the democrats fault.
How much does it take to have him lie?
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.
