I used to like George Will but him saying defeat Trump is more important then beating Hilary .....shows his true colors.....that so called elite that is ruining this country and he is one of them......why are these "prep schooled people" so afraid of him when he was saying the same thing they were but they were not doing a damn thing except run their mouths....are they truly afraid he might do what he says he is going to do.....Damn right and that scares the hell out of elitist GOP and Dumbocrats alike.....Thanx, Keith for the posting. ____________________________________ From: [email protected] Reply-to: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: 12/27/2015 2:30:15 P.M. Pacific Standard Time Subj: Re: [grendelreport] George Will: Stopping Trump More Important Than Stopping Hillary
George Will is the epitome of the proverbial Beltway Pundit Elitist-Establishment Republican....The kind of pundit that neither the right or the left can stand.....

And the piece is no less ominous. After ticking off Trump’s myriad personal and political flaws, Will comes to his true point: better for the Republicans to lose the presidency than win with Trump. He writes: Certainly conservatives consider it crucial to deny the Democratic Party a third consecutive term controlling the executive branch. Extending from eight to 12 years its use of unbridled executive power would further emancipate the administrative state from control by either a withering legislative branch or a supine judiciary. But first things first. Conservatives’ highest priority now must be to prevent Trump from winning the Republican nomination in this, the GOP’s third epochal intraparty struggle in 104 years. How odd. Just days ago, Bret Stephens of The Wall Street Journal was _busy writing_ (http://www.dailywire.com/news/2070/wsjs-stephens-trump-cruz-supporters-want-hillary-ben-shapiro) that clearly the only thing that mattered to backers of Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was losing to Hillary Clinton. Now, Will openly says he’d prefer to lose if it means stopping Trump. The panic is palpable amongst the establishment pundits. Will rightly points out that Trump represents a strain of thinking foreign to conservatism. He’s more along the lines of Teddy Roosevelt’s progressivism or the supposed “pragmatism” of Rockefeller Republicans than Ronald Reagan. All that is true. But then Will concludes: [T]his avatar of unfettered government and executive authoritarianism has mesmerized a large portion of Republicans for six months. The larger portion should understand this: One hundred and four years of history is in the balance. If Trump is the Republican nominee in 2016, there might not be a conservative party in 2020 either. This is wildly overstated. The fact is that the Republican Party has shifted the definition of conservatism to meet non-conservative presidential candidates over and over again. As I wrote about _Mitt Romney in early 2012_ (http://m.cnsnews.com/blog/ben-shapiro/great-conservative-sell-out) : Yes, defeating horrible politicians like Barack Obama is the top goal — but that doesn’t justify redefining conservatism entirely…. When we deliberately broaden conservatism to encompass government-forced purchase of health insurance or raising taxes or appointing liberal judges or enforcing same-sex marriage or using taxpayer money to bail out business or pushing trade barriers, we destroy conservatism from within. If we do that, why would our politicians even bother to pay lip service to the standard? I have great sympathy for the argument that Trumpism harms conservatism. But so did McCainism and Romneyism and Bushism and Doleism. None of the current Trump critics seemed to have a problem with any of that. The Republican Party stumbles ever forward, pushing such candidates. Why would Trump be any different -- except that the base likes Trump, where many in the base disliked the others? __._,_.___ ____________________________________ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) > ____________________________________ _Visit Your Group_ (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmYjc4MXVuBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMy MzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0NTEyMzg3NjA-) (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo;_ylc=X3oDMTJlNmZodDF1BF9TAzk3NDc2NTkwBGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNnZnAEc3RpbWUDMTQ1MTIz ODc2MA--) • _Privacy_ (https://info.yahoo.com/privacy/us/yahoo/groups/details.html) • _Unsubscribe_ (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe) • _Terms of Use_ (https://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/utos/terms/) __,_._,___ -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
