George F. Will On The Need To Defeat Trump | The Last Word | MSNBC

What is that quote? It something like 'all it takes for evil to take hold is for good men to do nothing.'

[Sandy-duev]

Never really with George Will but I have had enormous respect for great intellect and his sincerity ! Today, I overwhelmingly agree with Mr. Will.

[stevenescover]

George Will is brilliant. Love his analysis and well stated explanations. Im NOT a conservative but i love listening to his perspective on issues. They're in depth and his vocabulary exceeds trumps.

[woodbox]

thank you George Will and Lawrence O'Donnell.

[albell]

4:40 "invertebrate" so satisfying to hear George Will say that about Republiclowns.

[paulstillman]

I admire both the interviewer and the interviewee. I also miss having principled men like Daniel Patrick Moynihan in the US Senate.

[Astrobrant]

"I'll say it three times and make it a fact."
LOL! That was great!
I was never a big fan of George Will's conservative politics, but I have always had great respect for him, because I have always believed he was a man of principle and obviously very intelligent and vastly informed. Now that he has abandoned the Trump Party (formerly the Republican Party), I respect him even more. He does represent what _should_ be the true character of the Republican Party, though, and Republicans should listen to this man.
Keep it up, George! You may end up being one of the great American heroes following these dark times for our country.

[MichaelBrown-lwzh]

Ok so he's a outlaw and no one in his party cares. Ok so why are we calling them a "party", when they conduct themselves as a "gang"?

[Klistern]

"please ask yourself if the party represents your principles and values". Okay. Nope. They don't.

[russmcclay]

George Will lays it out very succinctly and definitely is in line with my own feelings. Great job on this show, Lawrence O'Donnel and MSNBC! Watched via YouTube from Taiwan.

[thatnorwegianguy]

George Will no matter my political of philosophical difference I may have, is an actual conservative who you can have a conversation with and represents what conservatism is supposed to be.

[gwen]

America don't stay home in November 2020 vote this awful administration

[golfingfool]

Mr. Will's analysis is spot on and very frightening!

[elmoblatch]

George Will is one of the few who left with his integrity intact. He should be applauded.

[gregr.]

Spending and borrowing for one reason, to make himself look good, bankruptcy means nothing to him/it

[richardgordon]

Thank you Lawrence and George Will for an excellent interview! I Always enjoy this channel for its calm Intelligence.

[someguy]

From now on, whenever you say "Republican principles" you need to use air quotes.

[Skzzlemister]

I love how Will called out the hypocrisy of the evangelical Christians that all support Trump.

[jakejake]

Respect to George Will and Justin Amash!

[wandagarrett]

Finally! Keep calling out the hypocrisy of the Republican Party, and individual Congress persons! We have to use our voices and vote these people... including Trump...out of office!
