American Thinker: Some #NeverTrumps won’t quit. Indeed, so chained are they to their hurt pride and delusions that they can’t. Foremost among them is Bill Kristol, former editor of the Weekly Standard.
Speaking at a New Hampshire gathering of businessmen called “Politics and Eggs,” Mr. Kristol asserted that President Trump should be challenged in the 2020 GOP primary. That in and of itself is not a bad idea. Clearing the air between opposing philosophies has value. In this instance, it would come about in two ways. First, it allows the president to expound on his successes and ongoing efforts to MAGA and contrast them with his opponents. On the other side of the coin, as the likes of Jeff Flake, John Kasich, Mitt Romney, or any of the other establishment Republican regulars drone on, they make promises that they either never intend or lack the fortitude to keep. Their shtick is so transparent, so tedious, so yesterday. At least with Trump in the mix, there is great entertainment value when the GOPe try their old boilerplate rhetoric on him face to face.
Kristol’s rationale for challenging Trump is from the Far Side. He admits that the president’s approval rating is quite high – over 80 percent among Republicans. But Kristol says (hopes) that could change. And anyway, he feels that Trump’s success and high approval ratings are due only to good luck. more here
Bill Kristol is irrelevant.
Yup, let’s have a primary so these RINO fools can get their ass spanked again.
“Sir may I have another?”
Stick a fork in him, he’s done. Should have retired after “When Harry met Sally”.
He’s gonna stroke out after McCain goes.
I don’t understand Kristol. He acts like a guy who’s been jilted by his bath house lover.
Bill Kristol…
that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time…
Bill Kristol is irrelevant . . Check
Stick a fork in him . . Check

He was on CNN State of the Union this AM.
It was embarrassing.
Loved every minute of it.
Is it still $200 per show?
Or $50 for a block?
…he feels that Trump’s success and high approval ratings are due only to good luck.”
Oh come on, are you THAT stupid?
Who foots the bill for Kristol’s opinions? I know that he’s a small cog in the bigger overall anti-Trump machine that has been feverish working to undermine Trump. But really, who would actually pay for Kristol’s opinions, he’s rarely if ever right about anything.
Anonomous @. Bill Kristol is irrevelant? I disagree. He is no more irrevelant than Rich Lowrey of National Review, or George Will of whatever, Jonah Goldberg, and others who are simply “ANTI TRUMP.”
They are part. wittingly or not. part of “The Deep State.” Useful idiots. Brilliant guys, but idiots nevertheless. I used to love them, but I lost interest in their snobby bullshit over the last two years. They are elitists. They are gentlemen, they are well versed, they are fucking brilliant. They are the smartest people on the fucking planet; they, along with Whoopie Goldberg, Michael Bloomberg, Joy, Mika, and sleepy Joe are all brilliant people; whereas Donald Trump is a fucking jerk. He talks funny, repeats himself often, says “un presidential” things like, “let’s see what happens.” (With NK), They are, talking about MS-13. “animals.”
Oh My God! The NFL kneelers. “Let them leave the Country.” Yeah. let them start a league in Kenya.
I’m reading “Killing the Deep State” by Jerome R. Corsi.
Worth the read. Scary. We have to stick with and support The Donald, no matter how stupid the elitists and academians think he is. MAGA
So much white guilt out there. They can’t stand that a rich straight white man is unashamed to be a rich straight white man.
Go for it Bill. Run against Trump you pussy
Specifically, the nature of Kristol’s irrelevance is that his opinions have absolutely no bearing whatsoever on my view of the world. None.
Imagine, this guy still thinks he is a consequential conservative.
Or, as the last line in the article reads, “In the final analysis, Donald Trump is lucky to have enemies like Bill Kristol.”
Kristol – a retro liberal in a conservative mask.
I think you + AT need to add: Cal Thomas, Jonah Goldberg + Max Boot to the list of leftist GOP don haters. Not that I disagree with what you’ve said about Billy.
I’m humbled and embarrassed I ever read columns written by Bill K and thought he was someone worth reading. On the bright side I haven’t read his crapola for at least four years.
Yes. That was the worst issue of National Review I ever read. I couldn’t believe it. Thomas Sowell, Cal Thomas, so many others denigrating Donald Trump. Why? Who did they want as President, another mild spoken, sly, bullshit artist?
Or a fucking crook. like Hillary and her husband?
Did Kristol’s wife scream out Trump’s name during moment of passion? Because no one carries a grudge this long against someone he doesn’t personally know… unless it’s personal.
Let me tell you these magazines are hurtin’

He’s right. If the Democrats hadn’t eBay’d their throne to Hillary, it’s entirely possible Trump would not be President.
Tom, what we are seeing is the PUSSIFICATION of the American Male…it even touches the pseudo-conservative side of our system.
That would be OUR good luck that Hillary failed at rigging the election (since she was anointed to be Prez anyway).
