STEPHANOPOULOS: -- coming up on the filing deadlines --
KRISTOL: -- oh, Texas, North Carolina. Every other state -- no other state's filing deadlines' before June 27th. You couldn't wait until the convention. You'd have to decide after Indiana, possibly after California. I think there will be legal challenges in Texas and North Carolina that the deadlines are too early.
Jim Mattis happens to be a social liberal. He's more liberal than I am. He's very concerned about the debt. He's a strong national security hawk. Why wouldn't someone like him...

No HBO, and I skipped Star Wars 2 and 3 after I came away from Episode 1 depreciated.
Reek sounds like an excellent description. And to the the degree that this Game of Thrones character has some unresolved business regarding his father, Bill Kristol has some very large shoes to fill left by Irving Kristol, and he hasn't yet come close to filling them.

I always wonder why he sold them out
The Hamdania 8 were on a mission they were sent on, not dreamt up.
I would rather have him than trump or Kasich, but, he is not my first choice, I would rather keep him as SECDEF

I only disagree with you on that because of ‘party loyalty’ :)

That ship has sailed, Kristol.
Make sure you are on the next one.

I agree and believe Kristol is just flapping his gums to try and make himself relevant.

I agree. He has really fallen in significance. He used to be a Fox regular. Now he is an afterthought for everyone everywhere.
