On Sunday, George Will scoffed at the notion that Gen. David Petraeus and Donald Trump could be viable presidential candidates in 2012.
Appearing in the Green Room, along with Arianna, Chrystia Freeland and David Stockman, after Sunday's taping of "This Week" with Christiane Amanpour, Will dismissed at the idea that Trump could have a political future.
"He has no future in politics," Will said. "He's a buffoon ... . He's going to come out of this looking like what he is: and overweight, under-educated, silly man."
Freeland argued that Obama's shakeup of his national security team last week could be viewed as a political move -- that appointing Petraeus to head the CIA could be an effort to box him out as a challenger for presidency.
"We elect military men, periodically -- Washington, Grant, Eisenhower," Will replied. "But usually they've won big wars. And Petraeus hasn't won big wars."
In the end, Will, concluded, Petraeus' political viability is "one small cut above Trump's."
WATCH:
Americans who thinks this man is qualified to be President has lost his mind.
Republicans want to measure the criteria to be President as someone wealthy or presume to be good at business. NOT! Trump is not a self made man, his daddy set him up and left him wealthy. America is a country, not a bottom line. There are several criteria's that it takes to be a good leader, you have to be a thinker, care about people and strategic...not a bully. George Bush did the tough talk and bully pulpit and you see where that got us...no where!!
