Midknight Review -- new and revised: George Will proves his ability for logic and reasoned debate to be an illusion of monumental proportions . . . . . in other words, a sham.

WASHINGTON – Conservative columnist George Will told PJM he has officially left the Republican Party and urged conservatives not to support presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump even if it leads to a Democratic victory in the 2016 presidential election.
Will, who writes for the Washington Post, acknowledged it is a “little too late” for the Republican Party to find a replacement for Trump but had a message for Republican voters.
“Make sure he loses. Grit their teeth for four years and win the White House,” Will said during an interview after his speech at a Federalist Society luncheon.
Will said he changed his voter registration this month from Republican to “unaffiliated” in the state of Maryland.
“This is not my party,” Will said during his speech at the event.

Editor's notes: Not named in the above, Will mentions a number of disappointing "conservative " GOP nominees to the Bench. Will's reasoning as to Supreme Court justices and the GOP's past performances aside, the fact remains that all of those he names were reasonably conservative prior to their appointment to the High Court. Hillary has already made it clear that here appointments will far more liberal than anything the GOP has ever considered. My disappointment with "conservatism" is found in the fact that many of my conservative heros have proven to be major disappointments. Mark Levin went running to Trump before Trump went after the Slick Mr. Cruz. Ditto Sarah Palin. Hannity has always been a moron when it comes to party loyalties, kissing the behinds of Schwarzenegger, Michael Bloomberg, and now, Trump. The list of "defectors" is rather profound, including the Evangelical Movement and, now, Gorge Will, a man I deeply respected until yesterday. At the same time, I understand what Hillary will do to this nation, if elected. Obviously, George Will and Mitt Romney (who I enthusiastically supported), simply do not give a damn. Positioning yourself for the next battle, as Will and Romney claim they are doing, is rather pointless after you have surrounded to the enemy.

I am an "independent." George Will is a defector. Big difference.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

A principled conservative of 40 years makes the decision based on Trump's character. Sometimes judgement and principles are more important than seeing 'your side' win. You kiss Trumps ass, you're on the wrong side of history, you need to reexamine your principles.
