As Trump Burns The GOP To The Waterline...

...The rats are swimming for shore.

George Will bails from the Republican party.

As long as Trump is pissing off Republican establishment figures like George Will, I figure he must be doing something right.

Donald Trump is good for only one thing - trashing the current construct of the GOP. It remains to be seen what replaces it.

That's my concern. I watch these speeches he makes and listen to his supporters and I'm not very hopeful. There's a whole lot conversations that end with something like; "We the people are voting for Trump 'cuz he loves America and supports the troops! If that OFFENDS you, tough shit!".

His speeches are the worst sort of low brow drivel and fear mongering and all too many of his supporters apparently aren't into any sort of debate. That's for sure.

George cherished his role as the best and brightest of the GOP pundits. This is surely crushing to him. I salute him on finally showing some backbone, after defending too much GOP stupidity in recent years.
