Cue the "George Will is a RINO" nonsense.
I wouldn't say Will is a RINO.
I would say Will represents the polite establishment in Washington that wants to sit down with establishment Washington liberals and have cocktails and talk about the Great Unwashed (that would be most of the rest of us) not understanding heady things like "Human Rights in Russia".
Because it's not like their kid is going to be the one coming home in a body bag to do something about it.
So while they are all debating things like "the Territorial Integrity of the Ukraine" or some such shit, Trump is the guy pointing out these are the same assholes moving their jobs to China or issuing 250,000 new H1B visas to foreigners when there are 26 million Americans out of work.
Yesterday, at Christmas Eve, my brother the Union Thug expressed his like of both Bernie and Trump, because those guys get what folks like him are worried about.
But Will should not be surprised by the rise of Trump. The GOP has been playing on White Working Class anxiety since Nixon and Reagan, with Mr. Will being one of the guys putting a glossy veneer of pretty words on the fear mongering. Now he's concerned that someone is selling a cruder version.
