Lol, thanks for the concession.
Kristol wrote a column and established certain assumptions or beliefs he has about Trump as compared to ALL the other candidates. He established the assumptions one-by-on, then drew his conclusion that applied to all the other candidates.
Obviously, he did not exclude any of the other candidates from his assumptions or his conclusion. He did not even mention another candidate other than Rand Paul, and that did not exclude Paul from he assumptions or the conclusion.
That’s not what happened as I read it.
