I don't know. If he launched into a detailed analysis of Federalist Paper 51 it might be time for the NoDoz.

I don't support George Will. But I do learn things from him from time to time.

There is no disputing his intellect, which stands in stark contrast to Trump and many of his supporters. I understand why Republicans rejected the other GOP candidates and I understand why they rejected Hillary. I know how we got here. George Will wrote a column recently about liberals in NYC who were consumed with guilt over their superior schools versus other nearby, less affluent schools. Absolutely hilarious, wish I had a link to it. The man has a sense of humor, although he doesn't seem to when you listen to him speak.

This morning he said on Morning Joe that Trump's wince inducing trip to Puerto Rico was best described as trying to describe the color turquoise to blind man, in reference to his utter lack of empathy and a shocking inability to bring comfort to an island of millions of people, over 90% of which do not have electricity.
This is like claiming a wolf is brilliant for their views on a lamb.

If Trump had been running that island of PR it would not be such a disaster BEFORE the storm.

They would have long ago declared bankruptcy.

Kansas with palm trees?

The entire conservative economic policy is a farce.

Trump promoted a golf course there several years ago. Got people to buy bonds.

Naturally, it went belly up and he stiffed PR for over $30 million dollars.

I'm not running on here crying every time someone says something mean about the candidate I voted for. "Wah! George Will is a stupid meanie! Wah! The MSM isn't fair! Wah! Democrats won't support Trump's agenda!"

Whine and cry. That's all you Trumpsters do.
