Description

Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and author George Will joins Firing Line's Margaret Hoover for an in-depth conversation examining the conservative movement from William F. Buckley Jr.’s National Review to today. 
Will, who was hired by Buckley as his Washington editor in 1973, reflects on why he left the Republican Party in 2016 and his belief that many mainstream Republican politicians today are not true conservatives. Will argues that Donald Trump's hold on the Republican Party will not last and says of the former president, "History will pass him by.” Will also talks about his love of baseball, which he calls a “great sport for democracy.”
