Kristol is such a rabid never-Trumper he'd gladly tweet support if Satan himself came flying out of the ground on a flaming steed and announced he was running and he was bringing back Hitler as his VP...

But seriously, how does someone like Kristol who is supposedly a conservative justify supporting a candidate that would be far left on every major issue?

You're 100% right. It's really sad at how deranged the man has become. Kristol is in a very small group of former conservatives (Max Boot & Jennifer Rubin are two others who come to mind) who have completely lost it in their hatred of Trump. Back in the primary season of 2015-2016, there were a lot of conservative/Republican folks who didn't like or support Trump for various reasons. And that's fine. Not everyone has to love or even like every GOP candidate. But once that man won the nomination and, eventually, the presidency, to jettison your supposedly conservative principles and suddenly adopt contrary principles and start supporting left-wing candidates and positions says more about these so-called conservatives than it does about Trump.
