Bill Kristol Steps Down As Weekly Standard Editor After 21 Years
TPM Media ^ | December 12, 2016 | Matt Shuham

Posted on 12/12/2016 3:28:28 PM PST by george76

Kristol announced that he would become The Weekly Standard’s editor-at-large, “continuing to write weekly editorials and contribute to the website.” Steve Hayes and Richard Starr would take over the day-to-day operations of the website, Kristol wrote.

Under Kristol’s editorship, The Weekly Standard has been the central publication for neoconservatives, including Kristol’s father, the so-called “godfather” of neoconservativism, Irving Kristol.

During the election season, Kristol was a leading voice in the #NeverTrump camp and searched publicly for months for a conservative alternative to Trump

"should send a big message to all the other nevertrumpers: Rubio, Bush, Levin etc"

How many of our vaulted wise ones were willing to sacrifice themselves on either the alter of Cruzism, Trump Derangement Syndrome, or were closet Unipartiers? Let's not even get into armchair shrink territory as how it was compulsive obsessive from some of them, and how they can't let go of it.

Or was it the fact that if Trump "fixes it" we don't need them for our daily mutual beeotchfest to commiserate on how screwed up things are, they are out of a job.

Again I call it, the great disillusionment, those who we believed in were shucking us. So many more names too add, and I don't think the destruction of their careers or empires is over, more shoes to fall.

It will be fun to see WS and NR shut down before 2020.

I have always liked Charles Krauthammer, but he made a huge mistake with this election:

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/charles-krauthammer-voting-article-1.2838947

“...against any of a dozen possible GOP candidates, voting for her opponent would be a no-brainer. Against Donald Trump, however, it’s a dilemma. I will not vote for Hillary Clinton. But, as I’ve explained in these columns, I could never vote for Donald Trump.”

He has never been my favorite, but he only became insufferable in the last year.

Well, he sure had company.

I’ve never seen an election where folks seemed not to know the man’s policies AT ALL.

There were all sorts of strange comments here, that revealed the people hadn’t listened to even one of Trump’s rallies. And yet they were swearing they couldn’t support him.

Don’t forget McCain and Linda, the two worst nevertrumpers who just won’t drop dead.

Weakly Standard, a conservative magazine? That and National Review, after the NeverTrump tantrum, I’ll never read them. They’ll have to show me they are for Americans, not for Globalists...

Couldn’t give a good judgement of that, but it sounds entirely possible.

I disagree that Kristol searched for a CONSERVATIVE alternative to Trump.
