George Will has had it with Republican leaders passively waiting for Trump’s support to collapse.
Excoriating the billionaire as a “a counterfeit Republican and no conservative,” the columnist presses the Republican National Committee in his column this morning to “immediately stipulate” that subsequent Republican debates will be open only to candidates who pledge to support the nominee. http://www.theintell.com/opinion/trump-the-counterfeit-republican/article_a5307138-ea24-507e-b122-390aaec49439.html
“Conservatives today should deal with Trump with the firmness [National Review founder William F.] Buckley dealt with the John Birch Society in 1962. The society was an extension of a loony businessman who said Dwight Eisenhower was ‘a dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy.’
In a 5,000-word National Review ‘excoriation’ (Buckley’s word), he excommunicated the society from the conservative movement. Buckley received an approving letter from a subscriber who said, ‘You have once again given a voice to the conscience of conservatism.’ The letter was signed, ‘Ronald Reagan, Pacific Palisades, Cal.’”
