George Will Jumps From Sinking Ship That Is The GOPby Sebastian Murdock at the Huffington Post

SNIP.................
Longtime conservative columnist George Will is wiping his hands clean of the Republican Party.
This is not my party, Will told PJ Media on Saturday. The Washington Post writer said a Democratic presidency would be better than the alternative offered by Donald Trump who once called Will a major loser, according to Politico.
.........
Make sure he loses, Will said of the presumptive GOP nominee. Grit their teeth for four years and win the White House.
His voter registration in Maryland has now changed from Republican to unaffiliated, PJ Media reported. The final straw was House Speaker Paul Ryans (R-Wis) endorsement of Trump, he said.

The GOP still OWNS that guy. We can only pray that OUR electorate punishes the entire party.

You can't drive until you get in the driver's seat. Constantly complaining about the road map and refusing to pitch in gas money gets annoying. You won't get to drive if you're only thumbing a ride.

(13,616 posts)Now, I will vote against trump, which means for her, but to get ENTHUSIASTIC is to tell the Debbie Wasserman Schultzes and Erskine Bowles of the world one message loud and clear:
"please go to war with syria, please cut our social security, please expor our children's jobs to china, please make our won cities rent to high for us to live in, yesyeys yesy yes we luvvvvvyouuuu, even when you ABUUUUUSSSSE us!"
It is not as if we forgot the talks about how we would be dumped overboard because Clinton did not need the left anymore, thanks to that beloved "independent voter" that so far is dancing to trump's tune. We can help tow our end of the line, as we have voting democrat in every election, but if you want someone to make coffee and donuts runs for you, you better hire another intern, because we know and have seen that loyalty means NOTHING to a center-right crew.
The center only gives us whatever crumbs they deem after a LOT of wrangling, kowtowing , two can and willplay that game.

(25,699 posts)"You can't drive until you get in the driver's seat" doesn't line up well with an admonishment to put someone else entirely in the driver's seat.

How do you "get in the driver's seat" and "enthusiastically support" someone else doing the driving?

(6,975 posts)to not get in the car unless you're driving. You aren't pitching in for gas unless you're driving. You're thumbing a ride to the Grand Canyon. That's where we're all going, and we're hitting the Badlands and the Black Hills along the way. But you're complaining because we've decided to skip Wall Drug.
There are other people in the car, other drivers, other people pitching in, coming to consensus on the route and all agreeing on the destination. You're in the back seat pulling on your big sister's hair and going, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
