Kristol doesn't have a leg to stand on here. He has a long, long, looooong history of actively opposing the very agenda he's now suggesting may be the "right" post-Trump move
Bill Kristol is pretty sure Trump is going to lose. He’s been working hard to make that happen and he might be right but, as he admits, there’s a solid chance that he’s wrong, too. However, he’s devoting his time not to stopping Hillary, but instead to preparing for a post-Trump GOP.
Should Trump go down in flames, how will the party deal with the populist leanings of its most recent failed candidate. That was the question Kristol answered in this week’s Weekly Standard podcast - a recording that’s startling in its lack of introspection.
Maybe Bill Kristol should go ESAD.
There is no GOP.
Trump can form a new party if he wishes. Or someone else can push a Nationalist agenda and build a party for the future. But the Republicans are done.
Democrats too. It’s all going to be very different after this year.
In the future, I think this may be referred to as a Glorious Revolution like England had in 1688. Everything changes — but no blood is shed.
Billy Krystol, what a dork. City slickers was the dumbest movie I’ve ever seen.
Kristol+Lamppost+Rope = Happy
Won’t matter anyway. If Trump is defeated, then conservatives will never be voted into office again with Hils new voting block that will be invading here.
“However, he’s devoting his time not to stopping Hillary, but instead to preparing for a post-Trump GOP.”
Billy Kristol is an idiot. If Trump loses, there won’t be a “post-Trump GOP”, because a political party with no voter base is irrelevant.
The GOP is toast.
Idiots like Kristol think they can serve up a warmed-over version of Jeb Bush and we’ll all come crawling back.
Not gonna happen.
GOP won’t get above 20% in any future election.
Sucks to be an elite theorist without any voters behind you, eh, Billy Boy?
Here’s the thing about NeverTrumpers -
Many of them seem to be saying, “We may lose the election and severely damage the country but, dammit, at least people will know we were Gentlemen!”
IOW he is really promising maybe possibly perhaps they issue only conservatives will seriously consider a purity test conservative.
they are really cereal this time.
all those other lies mean what?
I have always been a Republican. People like Obama and the Clintons make me sick to my stomach. If Krystal and the rest think they have won they are sadly mistaken.Trump may not be a conservative but he is substantially better than HRC. If she wins the Trump movement will never go Republican again. I personnaly will sit out the rest of my days before I would vote for a RINO. “It is what it is!”
Why hasn’t Kristol moved to Venezuela or Cuba where the Politics are more suited to his liking and kind.
Whether DJT wins or loses, Kristol’s small gaggle of Sore Losers in the GOPe are going to be stranded on the shore as the USS TRUMP heads to the future. With clueless “leaders” such as that, no wonder the Republicans lost the last two elections.
“Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”
We saw this year how much Kristol cares about the Constitution. Not at all.
“Should Trump go down in flames, how will the party deal with the populist leanings of its most recent failed candidate.”
That’s easy. They will just default to the standard Chamber of Commerce position—Jeb Bush or John Kasich should have been the nominee.
No, little Billy, maybe Americans should exercise their common sense, analyze the situation, vote for the best candidate running, Donald Trump, and tell arrogant elitists like you to go perform and anatomical impossibility.
Bill Kristol died...... Don’t use his name anymore. We are sitting Shiva for him.
This POS traitor throws in a sentence about maybe Trump will win just to be able to say afterwards that he really believed in Trump all the way.
“There is no GOP.”
I agree. Do they all think we’re going to vote for some Jeb! or Romney-like dork four years from now if Trump loses?
NO WAY.
I don’t even want to vote for the GOP candidates that are already on the ballot. Clearly, either by design or silence, they’re part of the problem, not the solution.
Trump isn’t the only person on the planet with the balls to stand up and tell us the truth about what has happened (and what is happening) to our country. Our elected representatives should have been making this clear and screaming it from the rooftops. They haven’t been. So either they’re corrupt and in bed with the Democrats, or they’re ineffectual and cowardly. In any case, they’re worthless.
