The LA Times op-ed piece is the inevitable #NeverTrump globalist testing the waters. They have no problem with a Hillary soft dictatorship.

Note the liberal use of quotes from Rubio and other GOPe figures to buttress Kirchicks argument as well as soft peddling the threat to the republic posed by Hillary.

Some of the comments are quite interesting, some as though FReepers hit the LATimes piece.

So Kristol and his thugs are the ones dog whistling for a coup if Trump becomes president?

Why doesn't this surprise me?

If nothing else, Trump's nomination has finally gotten a lot of neoconservatives to drop the "conservative" charade and show their true left-internationalist colors for all to see.

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.
