Bill Kristol: Maybe Republicans should nominate someone with a ‘radical constitutional agenda’ next
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/27/16 | Robert Laurie

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.

The only radical agenda should be to take back the country. reverse illegal and excessive immigration and nominate supreme court justices who Will help in those processes. We have already nominated “constituional loving “ Justices and they at first opposed lib lawyers and then lost and then said okay we have a precedent and we have to live up to that as if that suddenly made everything constitutional.

That’s really it. Look for attempts at white genocide. There is going to be a war within from Islam and complicated matters with Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. Very dark times ahead.

Bill Kristol lost his seat at the table, so now he is PO’d.

They even invite Fred Barnes. How can Bill K. save face?

He can’t.

Maybe they could start by finding a candidate who acknowledges that the Natural Born Clause actually, you know, applies to him.

The raging hypocrisy of the sanctimonious NeverTrump bleaters is astounding. They apply self-serving lawyerly sophistry to the plain language of the NBC clause of the Constitution to argue Cruz, Rubio or Jindal qualified in exactly the same way that they condemn the left for doing with the militia clause of 2A when the left argues that 2A only protects the right of the national guard to have arms.

Couldn’t agree with you more. And I do believe there are tens of millions of us who feel the same.

Yes, this is the last chance the GOP has to win the WH.

These idiots are strongly delusional to think that we will be voting GOP in the future if Trump loses.

This is so cute. After sabotaging Trump Kristol and the others think we are going to come running back to them if Trump loses saying “you were right, lead us.” Oh, we are come my running back to them all right, with torches and pitch forks. Poor arrogant bastards.

Not gonna happen. Not gonna work. Kristol isn't sincere in suggesting it.

The lesson of the Bush years: when Republicans controlled all the branches of government, we didn't get that radical libertarian agenda.

The country doesn't want it.

“. . . but instead to preparing for a post-Trump GOP.”

Don’t bother - there won’t be a Republican party if Trump loses.

I’m pretty ambivalent about a Trump presidency but making Bill Kristol STHU would be one of its huge benefits. FWIW, I’m totally opposed to a Hillary presidency.

How slovenly he looks. You can put a dork in a nice shirt and tie, but in the end a dork still looks like a goofy overweight seal.

What's this bozo's concept of "radical" Constitutionalism?

Strict faith in the text of the Constitution?
"Creative" interpretations?
Get rid of the stuff tht doesn't work with your limited intellect?

What?
