message: I have tried to responsibly update his site to point out that he has fundamentally changed his belief system after 40 years and he by default does now support Hillary Clinton.  And you cannot handle the truth, if he had changed from supporting Hillary Clinton to Trump and someone like me wanted to update that info you would not block my update, but because you  agree with his change of heart or belief or however you want to characterize it you will not tell the truth.
Bottom line is Ronald Reagan would have never abandoned the Republican party, George Will did, he has every right to, I am not arguing against that, but George Will by definition as a public figure was the embodiment of the Republican Party, and the fact that this not his major headline is your disgrace
I cite Wikipedia first paragraph for Abraham Lincoln, "Abolished Slavery", George Will "40 year Republican, switched to Democrats to support Hillary Clinton." Why would you not add that to GW's first paragraph? Please answer my question if you dare follow the truth.
It is just history, it was a decision that George Will made and you Wikepedian are unwilling to allow us to report the truth.

text: The proposal, as near as I can see beyond the histrionics, is to insert in the lead paragraph: "40 year Republican, switched to Democrats to support Hillary Clinton." But Will has not switched to the Democrats. Nor is there any evidence that "he has fundamentally changed his belief system," other than his own statement that he has become more libertarian (hardly in line with Clinton). Will was not the "embodiment" of the Republican Party. He has been the embodiment of conservatism, intellectualism, and civility, all of which explain his decision not to back Trump. The assertion that "Ronald Reagan would have never abandoned the Republican party" is just speculation. Reagan, after all, abandoned the Democratic Party, or, as he put it (I don't have this word-for-word): "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me." Apparently, Will feels the same right now about the Republican Party. Plazak (talk) 22:05, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
