The conservative senator is challenging the president — and his own party — in a bid to rein in Trump’s tariffs.

@ Politico.com, 06/25/2018 04:08 PM EDT

Bob Corker, Jeff Flake, Orrin Hatch — some of President Donald Trump’s fiercest GOP critics on trade — are retiring from the Senate at the end of this year.

But Pat Toomey isn’t going anywhere [.....]

GOP should be known for what

GOP should be known for what it has become. It is radically racist, anti-immigrant, pro-guns, anti-NATO, pro-dictators (Putin, Xi, Kim, Erdogan, Duterte, etc), anti-globalism & free trade, populistic & authoritarian. It’s not your father’s GOP, true conservatives are gone/going.

How many Republicans still consider George Will to be a prominent member of their party?

I'll edit to add that I'm referring to those who support Trump, as well as those who have considered Will to be a turncoat for quite some time.

In reply to Can we just stop considering

I didn't post this to praise George Will but because it's a significant (and hopeful) development when prominent Republicans jump ship.

Can we just stop considering those who once/then didn't/now do oppose Trump to be worth applause? Can we just stop forgetting who they were, like, yesterday?

In reply to Just remembered that I posted

Will was talking about the party leaders, senators, and congress members. They're the ones who fear not Trump but Trump's voters. But Trump's voters, the base who always stand with him no matter what he does, are very much like a cult.

Will will spin for his side

Will will spin for his side but he sees himself as an intellectual. If the republican is smart and competent he will carry water for him. But Trump is ignorant and incompetent and Will can't go along with that.
