Trump is offering solutions
Wow! Can the Republican Party survive without columnist George Will?
Don’t expect to see a vacuum in the Republican ranks. What Donald Trump, this “non-conservative,” is doing is showing what it means to be conservative with solutions, not campaign rhetoric.
For the first time, the Republican Party is growing its ranks. For every George Will who leaves, the replacement will be thousands of voters who understand Trump’s message, which is woven with solutions, not promises that will never be fulfilled by globalists using bait-and-switch tactics to gain the favor of voters.
Why is Trump’s candidacy the reason for Will to depart? Wasn’t the treatment of the 80 newly-elected tea party members of Congress enough? Were the outrageous attacks on Sen. Ted Cruz by the Republican leadership not enough? Wasn’t the refusal to use legislation to challenge the Obama administration
enough?
And, what can we make of Will, who has been pontificating about conservative virtues for over 40 years while the Republican Party grew the government as much as Democrats have? Trump is not talking about adding more federal agencies as Richard Nixon did. Trump is not talking about making trade deals that kill American jobs as George W. Bush did. Trump is not talking about central planning of public education, which is represented by the Common Core State Standards and blessed by most Republicans. Nor is Trump talking about deficits and raised debt ceilings as Republican presidents and Congresses have agreed to in the past.
The media will make hay out of this big news, but will not mention the bigger news, which is more than 90 percent of the American people do not know who George Will is or care about anything he has to say.
