Kristol Sr. was a New Deal Democrat before he, like many other, defaulted to the Republican side after the Socialists took over the party in the 60’s. They were never samll “C” conservatives. Jean Kirkpatrick was another.
See my post #8, above. Kristol, out of his own article was an admirer of Leon Trotsky in his student days, during the New Deal. Leon Trotsky was the Bolshevik butcher--head of the Red Army in the Revolution. That is quite a bit further Left than a "New Deal Democrat."
