Conservative columnist George Will has left the Republican Party.

The longtime commentator reportedly made the announcement during a Federalist Society event in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

Will, who resides in Maryland, said he changed his affiliation this month from Republican to unaffiliated.

A report from PJ Media quoted Will as saying: "This is not my party."

He also said that it's too late for the Republican Party to nominate someone who isn't Donald Trump, an idea that those in the Never Trump movement have been holding on to as the convention nears.

"Make sure he loses," he said. "Grit their teeth for four years and win the White House."

Trump attacked the Washington Post columnist as a "major loser" last month, criticizing a column Will wrote, headlined "If Trump is nominated, the GOP must keep him out of the White House."

I doubt the current base of the GOP cares.  However, his thought usually is reflective of the big money in the GOP

True. George Will uses too many big words for the Trump base.

^ exactly....he had this to say yesterday on Fox News Sunday

"Trump has an advantage over me...he can say everything he knows about a subject in 140 characters and I can't."

Brilliant!
