It’s because Trumps ascendance signals that the Republican party is no longer a party of conservatism, but of nationalism. Trump has pulled back the curtain and exposed the lie that Republicans are against big government. They love big government, as long as it does nothing to benefit anyone darker than taupe.

George Will is thing Ken Burns plops into the middle of each documentary to keep it from being perfect.

Reminds me of Peggy Noonan stating her comfort with Mitt Romney’s popularity because of the Romney yard signs in the upper-class DC suburbs. I shit you not.

Oh yeah, I had somehow blocked that gem from my mind. Better hurry up and nab those rape privileges, ladies! They’re going fast!

Think harder next time IMO.

According to George Will, being raped is “coveted status that confers privileges.”

If you think Trump winning would be unfair, what would a fair result be? The GOP had 4 years to come up with candidates that weren’t chucklefucks or robots. They failed. They made their Trump bed, now they can lie in it.

This is the result of intellectual incest. George Will is the bipedal embodiment of calcification, ossification, metastasis. Better to continue spewing words from his word-hole than to reckon with the rapid, double-ended Norovirus emissions rejecting his version of Conservatism. Beltway Conservatives like George Will…

Personally I think it’s refreshing to be told that your vote doesn’t count for jack shit. I always suspected as much, but I appreciate the honesty.

You pointed out that he didn’t get a majority in any primary until 2 weeks ago. This is also the period of time that the field has been only 3 people. So in one sentence you use the trend as evidence that he isn’t people’s favorite candidate but then later in the same sentence you ignore this data when saying that in…

We would also accept “irritable dads with law degrees”.

The only problem: do people even know George Will is still employed?

If you think George Will is smart, then you probably think P.J. O’Rourke is funny.

It's ok simpletons George Will shall think for you

The World is Flat, unless you're sitting on a giant mound of cash.

Yes... (deep, protracted sigh) yes they do.

Sure Drew, but George Will won a PYOOOLITZER like 40 years ago, so murfle murfle murfle, pleeb.

When a dick-joke specialist has a better grasp on politics and the problems facing America then someone who is (incorrectly) considered an worthy and credible source on the subject,you have reached peak intellectual bankruptcy.

This would be a great paragraph if it were from The Onion.

Is it true that columnists pull in $300,000? You’re telling me that David Brooks and Thomas Friedman get paid $300,000 to spout their drivel? I mean, I get that they make bank from books and speaking (hell, I really liked The World Is Flat back in college).
