"Donald Trump, with his feral cunning, knew. The oleaginous Mike Pence, with his talent for toadyism and appetite for obsequiousness, could, Trump knew, become America's most repulsive public figure. And Pence, who has reached this pinnacle by dethroning his benefactor, is augmenting the public stock of useful knowledge. Because his is the authentic voice of today's lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year's elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing."
... There will be negligible legislating by the next Congress, so ballots cast this November will be most important as validations or repudiations of the harmonizing voices of Trump, Pence, Arpaio and the like. Trump is what he is, a floundering, inarticulate jumble of gnawing insecurities and not-at-all compensating vanities, which is pathetic. Pence is what he has chosen to be, which is horrifying."

I've always enjoyed reading George Will's columns as the guy has interesting opinions and observations. In the above 2L link Will observes how Trump can't speak or think clearly, and how he had no idea what the nuclear triad is. Now Trump is an expert!

Used to read George Will in Newsweek back in high school. That was a long time ago but he always has been popular in WASP land; one of the last real Republicans left. This new crop really needs to go get a new name. They ain't Republicans, that's for sure. ------------------------- ... |

I see Will in the Bill Buckley tradition of intellectual conservatives. I find them much more palatable than the "lickspittle" type.
"obsequiousness" - well played Mr. Will. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system. In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer". |

George Will knows baseball.
His book Men at Work is a great read. |
