Who do you like less - Hillary or Trump? Media, including Will, have told you how much you dislike The Donald. Donald has not told you how much you dislike Hillary.

Will NYT and WP run Trumps negative ads on Hillary? There may not be enough air time available to buy when they get nasty with each other. Have to wonder if Donald was actually telling the truth about financing his own run. He has spent less than the other serious participants to date. He is getting so much free time that spending his own money has not been required. Will all free coverage dry up and force him to spend his own billion? Will he have to spend another billion of his own money for an army to get him to the campaign events? Summer is nigh and it is going to get hot on the trail.

Nice article and I completely agree with it.

The GOP had better wake up to the reality that the party is no longer going to be an old white man's party and embrace the independents that Trump has appealed to.

Staunch conservatives are trying to pull the party in an entirely different direction than anything Trump is doing.

I, and all conservatives associated with, are 100% for Trump at this time. Actually, my brother is not a supporter, but the rest are prepared to support Trump until he relinquishes the lead. At that time, we will support the Republican that assumes the lead.

I think a lot of people who are coming out of woodwork to support Trump are conservatives who have not been satisfied with where the party has strayed to after RR. They have always been there, just waiting for the right person to lead us back to right center.

The problem though is the George Will's of the party fail to grasp the populist needs of the party. The Democratic Party has always grabbed onto the populist mindset, which works better at the national level.

Trump is successfully doing what Perot failed at. This is a fissure that won't go away. Hopefully some of the Trump insanity goes away within this movement after Bernie has his 4 years.

Trump is getting close to the paranoia that Ross displayed. Trust he will be a little more aggressive when he gets 1 on 1. Of course children have not been the target of either campaign to date.

I wouldn't call a person who has given money to the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer a conservative.

I think Will is dead on. The result of a Trump candidacy is a left-leaning nation will pivot full left. That may not be the intent of the voters but it will be the result of their vote.
