Ain’t he a tangled ball of snakes, gay, writing for the commie rag, The New Republic AND a Fellow at Bill Kristols’ Foreign Policy Initiative.

Strange bedfellows, really strange...

If he loses, it's much MORE probable.

This article is typical of the #nevertrump-#alwayshillary social misfits, the only thing this joker Kirchick has accomplished is one more act of mental masturbation and shooting himself in the eye. That moron states "Blimpish swagger might fly within the patriarchal confines of a family business...or a dictatorship. It does not work, however, in a liberal democracy."

Guess WHAT genius? This is NOT a 'liberal democracy', it is (and has always been, and intended to be) a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

OMG, these folks are off the rails...

This kind of talk is evidence of a severely flawed individual.

Trump may not be someone’s cup of tea, but he won’t be asking members of terrorist organizations into the White House to advise him.

He won’t be bowing on behalf of the United States to foreign leaders.

He won’t be voicing veiled support for hooligans.

He won’t be explaining why he understands when people riot.

He won’t be reminiscing about how criminals somehow relate to his imaginary son.

He won’t be saying that people should be prepared to bring a gun into a situation, if they don’t get their illegal way.

He will not be conspiring to harm Israel.

He will not be insulting our allies.

He will not be cozening up to our enemies.

He won’t be standing by and watching gleefully as 45 to 95 million unemployed U. S. Citizens struggle through life.

He won’t be aiding the invaders of our nation.

He won’t be making off book deals with foreign nations to send their children here to further weaken our nation.

He won’t be race baiting constantly.

He won’t be urging our clandestine, legal, and law enforcement organizations to do things detrimental to our nation.

He won’t be voicing approval of all manner of amoral sexual and societal behaviors either.

He won’t be pulling our Navy back from the global presence we’ve had for over half a century.

He won’t be destroying our Navy.

He won’t be destroying the moral of our other branches of the military.

He won’t be advocating for deviancy to thrive among our armed forces.

He won’t be committing acts of treason either.

Wish I could say this about the guy we have in there now.

If there ever should have been someone step in to stop a president, we’ve lived through eight years of it.

Trump? You’ve got to be kidding me or playing the ultimate Alinsky/Soros mind game.

Trump has his flaws, but he has been the light flipped on in the kitchen that has sent the cockroaches scurrying in all directions.

Exactly, as we all have flaws. What finally sold me on Trump last year was the realization that anyone who is so strongly hated by the hard Left, by mainstream Clinton Democrats, by neoconservatives, and by the Bush-Romney-Rove GOP oligarchs must be doing something right. Establishment Republicans and Democrats are united on behalf of multiculturalism and internationalism against Trump and against the American people who reject multiculturalism and globalism.

Now that one of Bill Kristol's pals is all but calling for Trump's assassination, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump is on the right track.

James Kirchick is from Bill Kristols’ Foreign Policy Initiative,

Thanks, I googled the guy up and found out he was the writer of a totally BS hit piece about Ron Paul's racist/homophobe connections in 2012. I'm not a big Paul fan, but Paul tried to rock the GOPe/neocon boat too.

Deer taken standing or running from 50 yards to 300.

Antelope ambling along at 150 yards.

Wild Pigs/hogs from 50 yards to 200 yards.

My 30:06 works like the M1, I was trained with. Except, I have the left handed version. Right handed and true eye is my left eye. I learned to shot a rifle with both eyes open with a scope or open sights. The gun is in camo with the scope.

The reason that people like Kirchik and Kristol are so full of venom towards Trump while so polite and milquetoast when criticizing Obama or Clinton is the same reason that Bush and Romney could muster a thousandth of the energy to criticize liberal Democrats that they now direct against Trump.

They don't really care very much about most of the issues on your list. While they may differ on the details, establishment Republicans share with Democrats a vision of a multicultural America with open borders and a ruling transnational elite. They share the Davos vision where international agencies and corporations rather than nations are sovereign and where borders are a nuisance. Trump threatens that order, so the "liberals" and "conservatives" put aside their game of polite opposition towards each other and unite to fight the common enemy. That's why Kirchik and his friends are calling for a coup against Trump. They never called for a coup against Obama, nor would they do so against Clinton (who will basically give the neoconservatives everything they want on immigration, trade, and foreign policy).

I agree with your take on it.

That means they are all essentially traitors.
