It's hard for me to argue with much of what he said.

In October, the Obamas descended from Olympus to remind us of the meaning of “insufferable.” And to demonstrate why progressives persuade only themselves. The Obamas scolded approximately half the electorate for disappointing the Obamas, who are weary to the point of irritability by the chore of teaching their deplorable inferiors this: If you will please just vote as we Obamas consider hygienic, you will disguise your moral backwardness that requires us to stoop to instructing you.

A minimally articulate Democratic nominee would have contrasted nicely with Trump’s rhetorical style of digressions piled upon previous digressions. Instead, Harris got lost in her syntactical labyrinths. And she spent too much time belaboring two subjects: Trump’s boorishness and abortion.

Progressives, which most Democrats more or less are, are defined by their confidence that clever people (they have themselves in mind) can manipulate society and fine-tune its complex processes. So, many months before President Joe Biden’s disqualifying decline, which many leading Democrats had fiercely denied until it became undeniable, Democrats worked to see that Republicans selected the nominee who would be best for Biden: Donald Trump.

It has been said that the future is a mirror without glass in it. But Trump’s scatterbrained approach to almost everything makes it likely that he will fail to do much of what he has vowed to do. Then, in 2028, Americans get to do this again. That is the good and bad news.

I was not aware that George Will was still alive. I used to read and watch a lot of his political commentary, but that was years ago. Before this year's campaign, I might have agreed with his characterization of Trump's approach as "scatterbrained" but that term definitely does not apply to Trump version 2.0. I am certain that he has realistic expectations of what he can get done in 4 years, but he knows the difference between what must be done and what would be nice to get done. Getting illegal immigration and inflation under control are and should be at the top of his list of things that must be done. 

I don't recall any previous president launching his transition before the election. Not do I recall a more capable transition team. That is definitely not a scatterbrain approach.

How will Trump get inflation under control

How will Trump get inflation under control

By lowering the cost of doing business through deregulation and lower energy costs. Reducing government spending, including the elimination of hush money to Z will also help.

[Maga Nuts]

Well, we know how he reduced government spending his first 4 years it was a disaster.
Deregulation will help but the tariffs will hurt let's call that a wash.
All that's left is drill baby drill once oil gets around $65 to $60 a barrel oil companies stop drilling can't make any money.
So your left with rewarding Putin with Ukraine land Hell might as well give them back Alaska while you are at it.

You have fallen out of character, vector. The grammar and spelling are too good. I think somebody may have hacked your account.

Kamala Harris and Joe Biden gave Putin the green light to invade Ukraine, not Trump. And it was Biden's decision to squander hundreds of billions of American taxpayer dollars to keep Z from signing like a canary. This is Joe Biden's War.

Putin invaded Ukraine let's get that right first. You want to reward him for that by Ukraine giving up part of its territory. So, you would be in favor of the US giving up Alaska.
In my opinion if Putin had it done all over again, he wouldn't have invaded Ukraine he would have just waited until his pal take over and let him do the work for him. Putin country has been damaged a lot since his illegal invasion of Ukraine that you now support. But when Putin took over Crimea in 2014 you were pulling your hair out for letting this happen.
Now how will Trump lower our prices please explain.

Your gibberish doesn't warrant a response. Ukraine was not invaded and lost no territory on Trump's watch. Putin has exploited weak Democrat presidents. Biden got the war he wanted. My question is what was the Big Guy's cut? How much of the Ukrainian aid has gone into the Biden family's deep pockets?

I believe that he may be referring to Trump's past concerning the scatterbrain approach.  Hopefully you will turn out be be right about version 2.0, although we may not agree with everything on his agenda.  The economy, the border and a declining deficit are what I'm hoping he can accomplish.

McConnell is already setting up barriers to Trump's agenda. Trump seems to be spending his considerable political capital better so far than he did early in his first term, so hopefully he will steamroll Mitch the way that I hoped that he would in 2017 and 2018. IMO, he has assembled a very strong transition team and is making some great cabinet appointments.

Trump has admitted that he relied too much on other people's recommendations during his first term and made to many bad hires because he did not know enough qualified people personally. Self-financing a transition team prior to the election was a brilliant idea. He is putting together a good mix of people with Washington experience and outsiders.

I'm hoping he doesn't accomplish a GD thing on his fascist agenda.

No need to continue trying to convince everybody of your anti-Americanism. That mission was accomplished long ago. There is nobody left to convince.
