*  george will congrats on a wise move.
*  Wow. This is like Tony the Tiger coming out against Frosted Flakes.
*  Well, I'll be damned. Turns out there IS a principled Republican in D.C. Too bad it isn't Paul "He's a racist but we are more likely to get our policies enacted with him" Ryan or Mitch "The party of Lincoln wants to win the White House" McConnell. Winning at all costs is not a principle. Racism is not a "yes, but..." kind of ism.
*  I hope more Republicans will realize what their hate-and-smear rhetoric has done to this country. First there was the dumbing-down of the Republican base. Next they substituted their propaganda for real information. Then they turned the base against government as "the elite" or "the establishment" or "spending your money for you" (when, in fact, government protects Americans from exploitation by the CEOs who donate to Republicans). Donald Trump was the next part of the equation. Let's hope it ends with his nomination, and conservatives like George Will recognizing their part in the mess.
*  George Will is a real conservative, not an AM radio entertainment conservative. There is a huge difference. They'll all call him a RINO and Hillary supporter, but he's not. He's just one of many who has had enough.
*  Well, I am not a fan of George Will, but he obviously loves his country more than some other GOP crazies do, such as Ryan, Graham, Cruz -- not to forget Rubio --

George Will leaves the GOP
By Kristen East, June 25, 2016

Conservative columnist George Will has left the Republican Party.

The longtime commentator reportedly made the announcement during a Federalist Society event in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

Will, who resides in Maryland, said he changed his affiliation this month from Republican to unaffiliated.

A report from PJ Media quoted Will as saying: “This is not my party.”

He also said that it’s too late for the Republican Party to nominate someone who isn’t Donald Trump, an idea that those in the Never Trump movement have been holding on to as the convention nears.

“Make sure he loses,” he said. “Grit their teeth for four years and win the White House.”

Trump attacked the Washington Post columnist as a “major loser” last month, criticizing a column Will wrote, headlined “If Trump is nominated, the GOP must keep him out of the White House.”
