Trump has lost Republican Conservative media guy George Will…..

Conservative columnist George Will said that the newly released tape of President Trump and his former lawyer discussing a payment tied to a former Playboy model shows that Trump is “a seedy man” and “a low-life from Queens.”
“I’m hearing redundant evidence that Mr. Trump is a seedy man whose incontinent sexual appetite gets him into seedy women,” Will said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Last Word.”….
…
“At the end of the day we have good decent Americans listening to not John Quincy Adams or Roosevelt or Eisenhower, but listening to this low-life from Queens talking about paying off his low-lives from Playboy magazine,” Will said on Tuesday.
He added that he doesn’t believe that Americans are angry at Trump, but rather are “embarrassed” and “sad” over the state of the country….
James,
Trump never “had” Will to “lose.”Will was a persistent critic of Trump before he was nominated and was so inflamed by his nomnation that he left the Republican Party.
The criticism is nothing new.Keith Often mentions Wills comments in his posts.The tenor of your post is that Will has had enough of Trump.
That has been the case for two years now.
Where have you been?
He’s a Republican
While he was a critic from the beginning
He was NEVER as outspoken as he is now and appears to have turned a corner away from Trump,…
There are a lot of other critics
I’ll have a post later on Trump and the media
You had no idea that he left the Republican Party two years ago and has been a persistent critic of Trumps since then.
Instead of frankly admitting your ignorance as to all this, you vainly try to obfuscate your way through it.
It is remarkable how little you actually know about what’s going on and why no one here takes you seriously.
Come on Jack?
He left the party????
WTF did he go to?
ANYBODY actually believe he’s an actual Independent?
AS you would say about Republicans in general?
He’s a REPUBLICAN….or now whatever as a Reagan Libertarian?…
People who knock Trump and say they left the party ARE suspect…..
You ARE a funny guy sometimes….
Come to think of it?
Maybe Will is ?
Gasp!!!!!
A Moderate Republican! (In hiding?)
One of the very few?
No,what is “ funny” is you had no idea of any of that.
You thought while you were mindlessly banging away at your keyboard that you had hit upon a real story.
Then, when I pointed out the facts about Will,rather than confess that you didn’t know about any of it,you to obfuscate your way through it.
Par for the course I might add.
Must have been some of that “ greys” stuff.
Definite greys…..
And some of your if it smells , looks and acts like a GOPer MOST. Of the time?
It’s a GOPer…..😆
George Will is hardly the only prominent conservative writer who has vocally been part of the “Never Trump” crowd.
There is also Linda Chavez, Mona Charen, David French, David Frum, S.E. Cupp and others.
Will has consistently described Trump as unacceptable from Day 1. There is nothing he is saying about Trump now that is new for him.
Trump is no more “George Will’s President” than he is james’ or Zreebs’ or anyone else who did not vote for Trump.
Donald Trump IS the President of the United States of America
We may not like that
But he’s our President
Didn’t someone here express the view that if ya stand behind Trump ?
You ARE a Republican?
No greys?
James when are you going to stop with your pitiful attempt to deflect from the fact that you had no idea about Wills previous repudiation of Trump two years ago ,no idea that he had rather publicly renounced his registration as a Republican and instead made a post that essentially said that his problem with Trump was of recent origin,ie,”Trump has lost conservative media guy George Will.
Many regular political columnists consider themselves to be more journalists than political activists, and so (whether left or right in their policy views and preferences among politicians) they often don’t identify themselves as members of any political party. (Of course, they may, or may not, have registered as one with their election authority.)
You can feel cramped in criticizing your own party, or in praising its opponents. And your arguments may be rejected as purely partisan instead of considered on their merits. George Will is syndicated, but columnists employed by newspapers (e.g. Tom Friedman, David Brooks) are often told not to use their columns to push a cause or party in which they’re active advocates or organizers.
So I wouldn’t have been surprised if George Will (who made his break at National Review) had never declared himself a member of the Republican Party.
Gives them objectivity?
Like the Fox people coming out against their guy Trump on the CNN reprter’ban’?
Those Fox people still lean to the right like Will….
One would hardly describe Shepherd Smith of Fox News as leaning to the right. He has always been upfront that his views steered towards the left, and yet Fox News still has had him as part of their roster for years.
Brett Baier is just a good journalist. Fox News has backed up CNN before when they were kept out of the press pool, just like CNN did during the Obama years when Fox News was deliberately excluded a time or two.
No that not what happened with Will.
Will was a registered Republican in Maryland .in the summer of 2016 he publicly declared in a column that he had reregistered as an independent specifically because of his malign influence on the Republican Party.
These are easily verifiable facts.
I certainly wasn’t doubting your facts, Jack.
Probably because I now very rarely see George Will’s column, I just hadn’t known anything about his party affiliation (which wouldn’t have been surprising in a columnist).
The Chicago Cubs just made George Will and I very happy.
Too bad I didn’t get to actually see it happen.
The hypocrisy of white evangelicals
When then-President Bill Clinton lied in 1998 about an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, Christian extremist James Dobson declared it was “foolish to believe that a person who lacks honesty and moral integrity is qualified to lead a nation and the world!” Under Clinton, Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, warned that America was facing “a profound moral crisis.”
Fast-forward two decades. We’re chest deep in a profound moral crisis, and every other kind of crisis you dare imagine. Yet, like most of his fellow evangelicals, Dobson is as silent as a church mouse about the White House’s current occupant, a man who breaks at least three of the Ten Commandments every day.
Never underestimate the hypocrisy of white evangelicals….
