Adios. Enjoy riding off into the sunset, Mr. Kristol. I would like to say you will be missed, but that would be a bald-faced lie.

Yes they are.

They in essence made a gamble thinking they would be seen as sages when Trump failed.

Guess what.

They destroyed their own credibility, not his.

Will Steve Hayes get with the program?
