George Will: If Trump Wins, It’s The End Of The Conservative Party
George Will says Donald Trump will destroy the party of the right.
REUTERS/Brian C. FrankIf you look beyond Donald Trump’s comprehensive unpleasantness — is there a disagreeable human trait he does not have? — you might see this: He is a fundamentally sad figure. His compulsive boasting is evidence of insecurity. His unassuageable neediness suggests an aching hunger for others’ approval to ratify his self-admiration. His incessant announcements of his self-esteem indicate that he is not self-persuaded. Now, panting with a puppy’s insatiable eagerness to be petted, Trump has reveled in the approval of Vladimir Putin, murderer and war criminal…
It is possible Trump will not win any primary, and that by the middle of March our long national embarrassment will be over. But this 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.

If tRump doesn’t win the nomination he also kills the republican party by going independent. So either way the republicans are toast. Yes GOP, you built this. It’s called the southern strategy.

Trump is just a symptom of what the GOP has become.
Palin was a precursor to the emboldened lunatic rightwing base.
The party is already in the crapper.

Conserving nothing since Nixon’s EPA & Bush Sr’s clean water act dissolved the Grifters Oil Party. The last time repubs won a female majority was last century 1988! Thanks for losing 5 of the past 6 popular POTUS votes. If Donnie wins we’ll see terrorism explode his temper tantrums.

What a crazy crazy party
Never seen so many people
Laughing dancing
Look at you, you’re having fun
But look at me
I’m almost cryin’
But that don’t keep her love from dyin’
Misery ’cause for me the party’s over
Turn out the lights
The party’s over
They say that all
Good things must end
Call it a night
The party’s over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again

Britain has a Conservative Party, not the US. But if he means its the end of the GOP, well, I thought that was already done under GW. Don’t forget, the GOP held all three branches of government under GW for six years. It’s taking forever the undo their mess.

Good. It needs to die.

Harrah and Hallelujah, and May God Speed us to the Republican Convention. This Is the FIRST TIME I have ever agreed with or even read Geo. Will.
