George F. Will: Trump May Ruin Chance For GOP President

[olde north church]

In light of your assertion that Trump can't do well with the Latin vote, Godzilla, how do you explain the fact that Trump is leading Nevada with significant Latin vote?

He can't.

[DCPatriot]

Which means that you don't believe that conservative notions will do just that.

Didn't say that.

But the hairs on my arms stand up when I see you suggesting the same old litmus test on candidates.

Conservatives come in all different shapes, sizes and stripes. 

This time I choosing between a Capitalist and an effing Socialist Marxist.  And I can do that blindfolded.

You swallow every little flake of spittle from Trump.  Absolutely no skepticism.  For what reason does Trump deserve such devotion?

Did you forget that this is for the Nevada GOP primary?

Just how many Hispanics are registered GOP voters out of the total population of the state?

In other words, it's easy to be the big frog in a small pond.

Seriously? 

You have completely forgotten that this is *NOT* the general election we are considering.  This is the *PRIMARIES*.

All the choices on the docket are better than 'an effing Socialist Marxist'.

Why are you limiting yourself to the worst of the choices?  Well... outside of Santorum and Huckabee. ( ^.^)

What George Will conveniently ignores regarding "the Hispanic vote" is that something like 50% -of- Hispanic voters reside in "the blue states" that aren't going to vote Republican no matter who the GOP candidate is.

In most of the "purple" battleground states, a shift in the white vote of 2-3% would have made the difference for the Republicans in those states.

The "white vote" is and will remain "the winning path" for the Republican party for at least a generation or two yet.
Longer if we get someone in there who will actually "restore the borders", and begin "pumping out the bilgewater" that is sinking our nation...

That's not his concern.  His concern is pimping for cheap labor for his overlords.

How do you explain this headline from PRNewswire.com?:

Trump Leads Nevada Poll with Overwhelming Hispanic Support
Trump Has Commanding Overall Lead of 27.7% in Nevada Poll with 31.4% Support by Hispanics

There is only one way Trump's plan works:

Anyone who can't stomache that had better STFU about supporting Trump.

You are becoming a caricature.  If the OverLords are pimping here, then they have too much time on their hands.

So you are willing to submit to random searches by the police at all times of the day, whenever, wherever, to ensure that all the illegals are caught?

And you're willing to be the one to pull the trigger on the little 5 y.o. "wetback" who isn't marching to the border fast enough?

I absolutely agree.

Since 1984 I was required to provide 3 forms of proof of citizenship for every job I accepted.  Why was that?

Don't dodge the question.  Are you willing to shoot a little 5 y.o. because his parents came here illegally and are refusing to meekly comply with the order to march back to Mexico?

[bkepley]

I absolutely agree.

Disagree. Even Trump doesn't know what Trump's plan is.  You give him too much credit.

It's not a matter of knowing what his plan might end up being.  It's a matter of knowing how the plan he's pitching necessarily plays out.  If this isn't what he wants to be pitching, then he'd better start pitching what he wants to pitch.

You converse like a liberal, Godzilla.  Good thing I didn't misspell anything.   ^-^

I'm picking the only candidate among the entire GOP field that can win.  His name is Donald Trump. 

Show me where I'm wrong.  He's polling at 40%.  His closest rival can't reach 20% and he's unable to meet his payrolls.

Highest polls at RCP put him at 26% a few weeks ago.  Maybe the other 3/4th of the GOP don't agree that Trump is going to win.

Try party identification of 30% GOP, 30% Dem and 40% Independent.

When you tell me Trump is polling 40% at this stage in the primary, that equals 12% of the total electorate.

Sure there is 12% of the entire electorate who will scream hurray for his racist appeal. But 12% won't win the general election, when he has lost Hispanics, Asians for openers.

Most whites are NOT racist, and will be repelled by his rants.

I won't dodge the question.  Look at my tag line and draw your own conclusions.  We are supposedly a nation of laws.  When we lose that, we are no longer a nation.
But not to be flip about it, when the father of that child is drunked up and plows into a family of rock-ribbed, Americans and puts them into the ground, are you going to hold up that 5 year old child?  Perhaps the uncle of that 5 year old is a pedophile?  What do we tell the parent of that child?  We had to keep the family together?  Don't go bleep Geraldo "splitting up families" bullshit on me because I honestly gives less than a bleep about them.  I read about that song and dance about slavery and it didn't bother me, besides it being a red herring.
