>Conservative commentator and columnist George Will says he is leaving the Republican Party because of Donald Trump -- and he's advocating that others do the same.
>In a speech at a Federalist Society luncheon Friday, he told the audience, "This is not my party," according to PJ Media, a conservative news website.
>The Pulitzer Prize winner confirmed to PJM in an interview after his speech that he had left the party and was now "an unaffiliated voter in the state of Maryland" before switching the subject.
>PJM reported that Will cited House Speaker Paul Ryan's endorsement of Trump is one of the reasons why he decided to leave the party. Will didn't say whether he'd vote for either Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton or a third-party candidate, such as Libertarian Gary Johnson.
>Will, who worked on President Ronald Reagan's 1980 campaign, also said at the luncheon that Trump as president with "no opposition" from a Republican-led Congress would be worse than Clinton as president with a Republican-led Congress.
>When asked by PJ Media about his message to conservatives regarding Trump, Will responded, "Make sure he loses. Grit their teeth for four years and win the White House."
>Will has long been a harsh critic of Trump. Just earlier this month, he told Fox News that Trump is a "real amateur in politics."
Isn't he exactly the kind of establishment republican Trump has been campaigning against?
"Old guard yells at Trump" articles haven't exactly stopped him yet.

He's actually a smart dude. Love his baseball writing.
Logan Robinson
Hes one of the faggots pulling the strings.
Hes leaving because he knows he cant do the same to trump what he did to Reagan.
Benjamin Walker
A lot of smart people are completely out of touch.
Owen Perry
Sounds like someone is afraid his special snowflake status will be taken away and his preferred companies/banks/foreign investors will lose favor.
He can fuck off and die.

I have such a fucking bone to pick with this twerpy, testosterone-bereft, bowtie-wearing little cuckservative. He's a sniveling little eunuch panicking because the gravy train of sycophantic status quo "experts" and "contributors" polluting the airwaves is coming to an end and he's going to be out of a job.
Nolan King
Fuck him. It was his party that ignored it when mexicans swarmed the southwest comitting crimes against his fellow citizens. It was his party that ignored it when mexicans inundated hospital emergencyh rooms until they were forced to close. It was his party that rubber stamped everything obama wanted.
But now that maybe those fucking nasty plebes might actually get something for their vote, it is not his party.
Fucking people like him will decorate the lamp posts.

Regan was a mayor or governor of somewhere for several years before he took the presidency.

There's one simple argument to rebut all these has been "conservatives" (((experts))).
If they're so brilliant, then why is the country in the state it is?

Gabriel Edwards
And nobody denied that... the point is, he was lightyears ahead of Trump on matters of governing and policy.
I've watched Trump's speeches and interviews. He is a complete amateur and doesn't even have the good sense to be cognizant of that fact.
Jaxson Stewart

At some point, Sup Forums and others are going to have to realize that white liberals are as big of a problem as Jewish liberals. And yes, George Will is a liberal.
Gavin Cooper
certainty of clinton being establishment is much greater than trump
Easton Phillips
George Will is no conservative. He's a neo-con, and neo-cons are neither new (neo) nor conservative (con), nor do they hold to the classical Republican founding principles.
George Will, just like Charles Krauthammer, Karl Rove, George Bush 41, George Bush 43, Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Bill Kristol, Matt Lowry, Jonah Goldberg, and so many others, are liberal Democrats who became disillusioned with the Democrat party because of its reluctance to go to war. What we call "neo-cons" are actually Trotskyists. Make no mistake about it — "neo-cons" love big government and big taxation and they love the collusion between big government and big corporation, and the key is that they use the notion of a continual need for war as the basis for growing the size of government and taxation. Hillary is a neo-con who calls herself a Democrat. They are all Trotskyists, and they will inevitably tell the nation that there is a danger on the world that can only be fixed by spending billions of dollars to solve via military action.
So, George Will and his like can firmly screw themselves up the ass with a brick for all I care. Good riddance to bad rubbish. The world is better off to move on without them.
Nolan Edwards
You don't know shit about conservatism and even less about George Will. George Will is the closest thing we have to William F. Buckley today.
By any measure he is much more of a true conservative than Trump's who is a populist bullshiter.
Luis White

You faggots lost two fucking gimme elections to Obama because of your incompetent and retarded Reagan worship and continuously trying to invoke the "we just need the traditional states and MUH TRUE CONSERVATIVE VALUES". Hopefully worthless old fucks like Will and other cucks throw themselves in front of trains.

>two fucking gimme elections to Obama The magic nigger was unbeatable in 2008. The unpopularity of Bush + the financial crisis sealed the deal there. But yes, they did blow it in 2012 with fucking Romney.

Owen Howard
This. These scummy rat fucks are so disconnected from the people that they see Trump's popularity and their response is, "This isn't my party, I don't want to be a part of this", and this is supposed to sway us somehow? Trump is so popular precisely because people like Will have been in charge of influencing opinion for so long and have been doing such a completely worthless, shit job of defending anything worth defending.
>While speaking at Yale University on January 17, 2013, Will criticized conservative commentator Ann Coulter, labeling her an "enemy" to conservatives' pursuit of an intellectual brand.
>Will is a self-described "amiable, low voltage atheist.
The harder people like George Will push back against Trump, the more I like Trump. WE DON'T WANT YOU IN THE PARTY EITHER, YOU KEK.
Zachary Rogers
Well for your sake, hopefully there's enough of you left to elect Trump. I'm voting Johnson.

Shut the fuck up, you moron. When are you going to realize your shit ideology failed? It faield to win elections, it failed to defend the country's culture, and it failed to give us economic prosperity.
And now that people are wising up to your bullshit, you're going full fedora and voting libertarian? Libertarians are children. You will never be taken seriously.

McCain was actually doing fine in the polls until Palin started opening her dumb mouth and then McCain stopped campaigning. Romney was doing good too until he got labeled and elitist racist by the left and went "d'ohkay". I was an Obama supporter back then and trust me, he was not unbeatable and most Obama supporters would flip out and melt down any time his poll numbers dropped. He won not because he was a great candidate but because the GOP ran such bad campaigns in '08 and '12 that he could waltz in due to the nigger vote (which won't be in effect this time).
Leo Nguyen
YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK
Zachary James
>and this is supposed to sway us somehow It's not. The elite on both the left and right think they know what's better for us and that we're too stupid to decide things on our own. They're fine with people having a voice until the people say things they don't want to hear and vote in ways they don't want them to vote, then the naked truth of what these scumfucks really believe is laid bare.
Alexander Cooper
>until he got labeled and elitist racist
How wonderful does it feel to realize that the left is burning through every last shred of power the term "racist" has? The result of the left's response to Brexit and Trump is going to be the complete loss of any power these terms once had.
The average person is hearing a lot of this shit for the first time, "racist xenophobic privileged white males", and it's in the context of sensible votes over national sovereignty and support for a politician who is in all honesty far more moderate than many recent Republicans. And even if Trump loses, there's going to come a time in the near future when a person who's actually a racist, nationalist nazi starts getting support and the left will cry with the same tired old terms they've already used up and people will ignore them and it will be glorious.
