How could you possibly be a conservative and announce you are joining a radical leftist communist party.
Conservatism is about principles; it’s about what you stand for. What does Kristol stand for that he finds in the Democrat party? Which candidate does he favor?
I don’t care if he hates Trump. There are legitimate reasons to dislike his demeanor, the way he communicates, etc even though that’s also what many find appealing about him. And nobody will agree on policy with anyone 100% of the time.
I don’t know the history of his anti-Trumphood - is it personal? Or is it because Kristol is much more of a globalist type?
