Columnist Charles Krauthammer argued that the GOP is “being led by a non-conservative populist” and that from what he’s seen so far, “I don’t think I’d be capable of voting for Donald Trump” on Tuesday’s “O’Reilly Factor” on the Fox News Channel.

Of course. He voted for Obama the first time around.
He was bobbing and weaving all night during the O’Reilly interview, refusing to answer direct questions. He’s just another DC elitist who is fearful that his influence and the old status quo are both collapsing.
I listened to Krauthammer.
He said that, and then he listed a number of misrepresentations of Trump as his reasons.
1. He knows they are misrepresentation, and his real reason is unknown...but it is partisan in some way. After all, Krauthammer began as a liberal democrat.
2. He doesn’t read actual quotes or think about actual policies, just goes with the anti-Trump media rhetoric, and is a mindless knee-jerk.
I don’t believe #2 is the correct choice.
OK, we get it, you don’t like Trump. I guess I can understand that, he is far from being my ideal candidate. If you would rather having lying criminal and a rapist back in the WH, then I think that pretty much tells us who you are.
Alienated democrats outnumber disaffected republicans, and Krauthammer is one of the DEMOCRATS.
I get it, but this is just Sore Loserman.
I agree,
KrautOpus!
Well he is far more conservative than you Kraut. You like conservatives more in the mold of Jeb and Hillary, right? Doubt he has ever voted for a Repub.
Pray America wakes
Dear Dipstick Kraut:
WE. DON’T. NEED. YOU.
The American Revolution was one by 1/3 of the people who were Patriots. 1/3 did what you say you’ll do, stayed home, and 1/3 were enemies.
OK
The genius of DT is that he is unpredictable. Yes, that is a double edged sword, but it is in his DNA.
I love the way pundits have used historical models and polls to attempt to predict DT. At every single turn the experts have been wrong!
Congratulations DT! I pray that the spirit of our founding fathers, brave American pioneers, hard working blue collar families, inspired immigrants and God Almighty will compel you to say and do the right things.
I’m not sure he voted for McCain in 2008. On Election Night 2008, he almost peed himself with joy at Obama getting elected. I had to turn off Fox News.
“Well, there goes D.C.’s three electoral votes!”
Never forget that Barbara Lett-Simmons disenfranchised a third of D.C. voters in the 2000 election.
Barbara Lett-Simmons, a Democratic elector from the District of Columbia, did not cast her vote in order to protest the lack of congressional representation for Washington, DC. Lett-Simmons was the first elector to abstain from voting since 1832.

I saw this live. Imagine Kraut sounding so infantile he made BOR sound like a statesman. BOR asked him whatsamatta with u and Will and Kristol. We’ve been conservative going back to Eisenhower - we can’t support this. BOR said this is populist conservatism, again whatsamatta with you? Kraus winced, fidgeted, saidI can’t speak for Kristol or Will. He couldn’t answer for himself either. O’Reilly eye rolling at this point. If you can’t make a binary choice between Trump and Clinton (lol BOR didn’t say binary) you got lotsa splainin’ to do. This was epic in its painfulness.
Yep, i’ve been making that exact point from the start.
Neither Bush was a real conservative. McLame wasn’t a conservative, Romney wasn’t a conservative.
All we have been given or been offered are liars “pretending” to be conservative who promptly when given the chance govern as liberals.
I do not agree with Trump on everything 100%.
BUT
I agree with him on a lot more than Bush, McLame and Romney! (how they REALLY felt, not what they pretended to be)
The fact is (as you said) If Trump even believes and tries to implement even HALF of what he has said, he will stand head and shoulders above everyone put forward since Reagan.
I appreciate her sticking to her principles. She should get another shot in 2016.
Romney and McCain were both GOP establishment/ruling class. Trump is an outsider.
So, Dr. Krauthammer is going to stand on his principles, instead of embracing what The People are telling him to his face?
I can put Krauthammer’s face on ol’ Ted standing before the Trump supporter telling him he is not wanted in Indiana, and it would be the same.
Who cares and so what?
Glad you caught that. I did, too. Ol’ Kraut needs to learn about how “Nuke Codes 101” works. However, I’m sure he does, so that just makes him a liar.
