    Will tells The Washington Post that he made the change several weeks ago. The news site PJ Media reports that Will discussed his decision during an event Friday for the conservative group the Federalist Society.

    Will isn’t saying whom he will support for president. He has been criticizing the billionaire businessman for months in his column for the Post and, in doing so, has drawn Trump’s scorn.

    Recently, Will wrote a column in which he urged Republican donors to “save their party by not aiding its nominee.”

    Will received a Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1977 and has been a leading conservative voice for decades.

    There goes the last remaining republican with a conscience. The GOP can now be pronounced officially brain dead.

    Here’s another sensible respected voice against this calamity. And yet the procession of the Trump lemmings continues.

    What people fail to grasp is, that Trump is not the main issue. While he leaves a lot to be desired, Hillary is far worse. Aside from being proven incompetent, a liar and untrustworthy even with national secrets and security, it’s the Supreme Court that is a stake. Presidents come and go. They can have major impact, positively or negatively, but the Supreme Court affects generations.

    It is very clear that Hillary will appoint people that have little concern for the Constitution and will promote further and rapid decay in the fabric of the country, morally and otherwise.

    I could never stand that pompous pseudo-intellectual George Will; one time, he published an article about the raid on Entebbe, which had some statistical errors. When I pointed out those errors to him, he wasn’t man enough to admit his errors. Rather, he had one of his flunkies contact me, with a sarcastic letter, which didn’t even admit his errors. Trump can’t stand George Will, and I certainly don’t blame him. I wish that Fox would remove Will from their programming.

    So party before country? I choose the independent, successful person that speaks his truth. Clinton is a crooked liar who will strike any deal that enriches her ill gotten fortune.

    democracy means the people decide. but it doesn’t mean its smart, or the right decision. The people also chose Obama, TWICE, and he’s such a loser. George Will is frustrated because Hillary is a one-term (plus) Senator and a one-term Secretary who really has nothing to show for it. With that very weak resume, and a not so like-able personality, she is very beatable, but Trump has no filter and is embarrassing. It could have been an easy win for the GOP, but he is making it a tough year. I don’t blame him if he stays home. I will. And my guess is that he changes back to Republican on the day after Election Day.
