Why would Bill Kristol want to make a Hillary victory inevitable?
American Thinker ^ | Nov 9 2015 | Mike Ford

Posted on 11/19/2015 7:04:32 PM PST by WilliamIII

Last week in an article titled "Ben Carson Reconsidered," destined for the November 16 print edition of The Weekly Standard, "conservative" pundit William Kristol shows just how willing he is to risk a Hillary Clinton presidency and all its concomitant damage. He's willing to risk such simply to prevent an outsider from ascending to that office. In a two (internet)-page article, Dr. Kristol excoriates Donald Trump while damning Dr. Ben Carson with faint praise. Here is his final statement:

So while Carson probably won’t and likely shouldn’t be the nominee, the Republican party is better for his candidacy. And if the unthinkable happens and Donald Trump wins the Republican nomination, we may take off a few days next year to gather ballot access signatures for the 2016 independent ticket of Carson-Webb, or Webb-Carson.

You idiots don’t know what a neocon is.

It is NOT an ethnic slur!!!!

Neocons are NOT conservatives.

Their fathers were old communists who split with the USSR. They were serious intellectuals and had much to offer.

Their offspring were sniveling chickenhawks like Bill Kristol and Bill Bennett. They are statists. There is nothing conservative about them. They hate us.

Hillary just said that Muslims are peaceful and have nothing to do with terrorism.

Kristol thinks a 9/11 truther should be President over Trump?

Maybe he’s got a hankering to be White House Press Secretary.

Maggots have infested Kristol’s brain. Look for him to be institutionalized when Trump makes his acceptance speech at the GOP convention.

Because non-Establishment must NOT EVER get near to the U. S. Presidency!

They are threats to the CFR, the Federal Reserve and the very establishment that looks to DC for their power!

Makes no difference, GOP or the donkeys, the Establishment must not ever lose power!

That's exactly right. Jeb Bush was the preferred candidate for the "neoconservative" wing of the Republican Party. Once he went down in flames, the candidate who best fit their agenda is actually Hillary Clinton.

I guess Kristol didn’t have to sign “the pledge”.

That's a weird statement, but these are weird times, and you are correct! The GOPe does not want a populist. Instead, they want an anti-populist, and an anti-nationalist.

Jeb fits that bill, perfectly. The next closest is Hillary.

The Republican Party is dominated by big-government globalists.

Hillary Clinton lost the 2008 Democratic nomination to a jug-eared exchange student from Kenya with an IQ of about 90 ... because the Democratic base thinks she's a Republican big-government globalist. How's that for irony?

Kristol vastly overestimates his influence.

“How dare he, how dare he try and vet candidates and stuff, imagine that.”

You didn’t mean that statement, did you? Threatening to launch a third-party effort to defeat the GOP is not “vetting” candidates. It’s not even “taking his marbles and going home.” It’s “I’ll show you — I’ll make sure you lose if I don’t do precisely what I want.” It’s babyish, but then what can expect, consider the source.

You stole the thoughts right out of my head. Hillary is the best fit for Kristol.
