George F. Will—he of the coke-bottle eyeglasses and ridiculous bow tie—is an insufferable elitist. I used to like him, but his opposition to Donald Trump has been, well, deranged. I think he hates Trump simply because Trump doesn't come from his social class. Will is an Ivy League egghead and bookworm, who makes a living manipulating words; Trump is a brash, uncouth (by Will's standards) businessman who makes a living developing properties. Will is every bit the egotist that Trump is, but probably thinks he's modest (because soft-spoken). Here is Will's latest intemperate screed. It's entirely possible that Will will refuse to support Trump even if Trump is the Republican nominee; but it's also possible that Will will come around to Trump, if only to avoid a Hillary Clinton presidency. It's going to be interesting to see what happens. Will Will be singing Trump's praises come October? Whatever happens, I will document it in this blog.
