Conservative Columnist George Will Leaves GOP Over Trump 

Conservative columnist George Will reportedly announced in a speech at a Federalist Society event in Washington D.C. on Friday that he has left the GOP over its looming coronation of Donald Trump as the party’s presidential nominee. Will said he has changed his voting registration in Maryland to “unaffiliated.”

Will said that he’d prefer a Hillary Clinton presidency with a Republican-led Congress to a Trump presidency with a Republican-led Congress that poses no opposition to him.

In fact, Will said he’s a fan of political gridlock in general, calling it an “American achievement.” Other governments wish they had a political system as gridlocked as America’s, he said.

PJ media quoted Will, who is part of the #nevertrump movement, saying “This is not my party” in the course of the speech.

Trump has called Will, “a major loser.”
