Attached is a link to the article by the Washington Post columnist.
Brief excerpt: Regarding policy, he is flummoxed by predictable abortion questions because he has been pro-life for only 15 minutes, and because he has lived almost seven decades without giving a scintilla of thought to any serious policy question. Regarding process, Trump, who recently took a week-long vacation from campaigning, has surfed a wave of free media to the mistaken conclusion that winning a nomination involves no more forethought than he gives to policy. He thinks he can fly in, stroke a crowd's ideological erogenous zones, then fly away. He knows nothing about the art of the political deal.

The saddest bit of all though, is the fact that his supporters know all this but still don't care. They are a cult of personality. The most truthful comment Trump has made so far is when he said, he could "stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody" and wouldn't lose votes.
Will is 74, Trump is 69. Will possesses a mind with full functionality. Other than the three b's (bravado, bluster and bullying), Trump will be remembered for little more than pandering to the fears of people.

And that fabulous infomercial where he tried to pass of goods from other companies and his own.
Looks like the anti-Trump crowd are out in force after Wisconsin. Chill out! Nothing has changed. Cruz was behind before Wisconsin, he is behind after Wisconsin. Now, he is standing on the deck of his ship looking at the monstrous storm gathering ahead. His ship is dead in the water and his navigator has no clue how to sail around the storm. Good luck, Ted.

Will has been writing grumpy, whiny columns for decades. Trump has been building hotels, starring on reality TV, and hosting beauty pageants. Now who is the grumpy one again?

I do enjoy Will's baseball expertise, but that's where it ends.

Will does have a dour, overly serious side which is typically on display. Expressing his opinions through his columns is what he is well compensated for. Yet Trump's angry, pouting, dismissive and sophomoric behavior somehow does not earn him similar derision in your estimation. Interesting spin, but accepted.
