Conservatives have Kristol’s number, have seen what it has wrought and have had quite enough of “neo-conservatism”.
Kristols interest in Ryan & Rubio only raises a red flag for me that they may be candidates for influence, pliable foils for more moderation, less conservatism, and back to Republican business as usual.

Bill Kristol says great things that are compatible with conservative thought, but infrequently, so his grip on opinion has fallen hard, as it should.
