George Will Calls Donald Trump A ‘Bloviating Ignoramus’

[SunsetDreams]

Conservative columnist George Will criticized Donald Trump with colorful language on Sunday when asked on ABC’s “This Week” whether it helps Mitt Romney to ally with the billionaire real estate mogul.

“I do not understand the cost-benefit here,” Will said. “The costs are clear. The benefits – what voter is going to vote for him because he’s seen with Donald Trump? The cost of appearing with this bloviating ignoramus is obvious, it seems to me. Donald Trump is redundant evidence that if your net worth is high enough, your IQ can be very low, and you can still intrude into American politics.”

“But again – I don’t understand the benefit. What is Romney seeking?” he added.

Trump recently re-erected his thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in the U.S.

And now for reaction from the Bloviating Ignoramus Choir:

1. Anyone got any quotes from Will when T Rump was running hot last year?

It would be interesting to see how Will treated the short-fingered vulgarian during those two weeks last year when T Rump had his turn as the presumptive nominee. I think it was just after Bachmann but right before Cain.

2. That would be interesting to see

I'm going to start looking. "T Rump"

3. actually, I believe that Will was one of the intelligent ones who

was showing it for what it really was ... SELF-PROMOTION FOR ATTENTION AND RATINGS.

However, I am not able to get to a library with microfilm copies of Will's columns to prove it. But I do remember at least once in a while, some Repugs were making a tiny bit of sense ...

edited to add:

Okay, it's newsmax, but even it points out (4/21/2011) that Will called Trump a "blatherskite" ...

5. "SELF-PROMOTION FOR ATTENTION AND RATINGS."

Indeed. I'm tired of Trump taking a dump all over the air waves.

4. Here is a video from May 1, 2011 George Will on "T Rump"

I don't think he likes him too much

[chieftain]

6. As we used to say on the playground

"takes one to know one"

[bahrbearian]

7. Yeah, I was going to post "Pot meet Kettle"

I quess I just did.

[cali]

9. except that whatever else he is, Will is not an ignoramus

[Prophet 451]

8. That was positively kind

He didn't point out that Trump is clearly a raving racist (as all Birthers are).

[kentuck]

10. Why doesn't he call for an investigation on the Hawaiian state government...

..for releasing fake copies of Obama's birth certificate??

11. George, you're missing the bigger point. If rMoney

is such a doofus that he wants to curry favor with Trump, he is nowhere near qualified to occupy higher office in terms of decision-making. End of story. They are both idiots. They attract.

12. It's like when the guy setting fire to the grocery store calls the police on the guy

who's setting fire to the pharmacy down the street

13. I can finally agree with something Will says.

14. takes one to know one.
