One of the leaders of the eastern GOP establishment hate Trump activists is William Kristol of the Weekly Standard, the only political publication I have subscribed to these past five or six years. He is a good man as was his father who struggled with conservatism and eventually came around to see its light, likely earlier than did I. What causes this eastern GOP conservative to hate a Republican so? When appearing in public, Mr. Kristol appears to be an exemplary conservative American.
Below he describes the Donald as, “never having been much of a conservative” and “not being remotely equipped to be president of the United States”.
No, Mr. Kristol, he is not from your private circles smoking your brands. Yes, the Donald has been in the world of business making money, not losing by the trillions of dollars as our Republicans have been accomplishing with Obama’s socialists over the years and very recent days. I find the Donald a more honest, more realistic, gutsy and energetic in devoting himself to save what is left of traditional America the Beautiful than all of today’s Obamaling Marxist-Democrat traitors to America’s liberties in Congress and nearly half of our current Republicans who ally with them and call themselves frugal.
And then there’s this Paul Ryan who stupidly claimed the American president has no power in protecting America’s borders from enemies devoted to destroy our country, claiming Donald Trump’s comments about controlling our borders from enemy Islamists “is not what the Republican Party stands for”.
Sir William Kristol, I am a Republican, have been for 35 years. Your sulking and comments are not helpful to our Party! Your tolerance and knowledge should be.
Donald Trump is standing up for America over our political party….And we Republicans are lucky to have him on our side!!!! Don’t be so dumb to lose him. Mr. Trump seems to be a winner in life. How about you, Mr. Kristol, close your mouth, get up off your office ass, and smooth out your conservatism differences with the Donald Trump who has by his own actions given a breath of fresh American air to millions of new and old Republicans throughout the country. Make your deals with our Donald. He will need your help.
I find him magnificently conservative nearly every time he opens his mouth even though I, no doubt like you, hold my breath. Nearly every time it’s open America regains more and more of its rights provided by the first amendment to our Federal Constitution…..the rights the political correct Marxists and feminists have been methodically destroying from college to university to state and the national capitals.
Dear readers please review carefully Mr. Kristol’s Happy New Year article below:
HAPPY NEW YEAR, by William Kristol at the Weekly Review, a fine conservative publication:
“Well, we’ve endured 2015, the next to last year of the Obama administration. It’s not been without damage to the country—both to its constitutional fabric and its standing in the world. But endured we have. One more year to go.
The point, though, per William Faulkner, is not just to endure but to prevail. America can prevail if today’s conservatism prevails—by which we mean a conservatism that incorporates most that is good about yesteryear’s liberalism and today’s conservatism, and that is also willing to think and act anew, as our case is new. And conservatism can most easily prevail if the political party that is the home of conservatism prevails—the Republican party.
In fact, the prospects for victory in 2016 aren’t bad. Barack Obama began 2015 with (in the Real Clear Politics averages) a 43 percent approval rating and a 52 percent disapproval rating. He ends the year in almost exactly the same place, with a 44 percent approval and 52 percent disapproval. He has no upward momentum going into his last year. It’s hard for a party to retain the White House when only 44 percent of Americans approve of the performance of that party’s president.
Especially when most Americans also have an unfavorable view of that party’s candidate. Hillary Clinton began the year with a 54 to 41 percent favorable rating. She ends the year upside down—at 42 percent favorable, 51 percent unfavorable. This reversal of Clinton’s numbers may be the year’s most significant development with respect to prospects for 2016. And it’s a heartening development for Republicans.
Tests of Clinton matched up against her likely opponents have followed the same trajectory. Take the three most likely GOP nominees: At the beginning of the year, Clinton defeated Marco Rubio by 12 percentage points; now she trails him by 2 points. At the beginning of the year, Clinton crushed Ted Cruz by 15 points; now she leads by less than 1. At the beginning of the year, Clinton led Chris Christie by 10 points; now she leads him, too, by less than 1. Hillary Clinton is an eminently beatable Democratic nominee. Republicans should thank Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and many others for choosing to forgo the race.
On the Republican side, two candidates of whom big things were expected at the beginning of the year, Rand Paul and Jeb Bush, have fizzled. That too is a good thing—unambiguously so in the case of the second Paul, somewhat sadly so in the case of the third Bush. But in both their cases, we could say the system—that is to say, the judgment of the Republican electorate—worked.
So in 2015, from a political point of view, all seemed to be going reasonably well. Only vague difficulties remained, like faraway clouds on a beautiful summer sky. These soon took the shape of Donald Trump—who became in midyear the frontrunner for the Republican nomination and who has remained the frontrunner ever since, despite never having been much of a conservative and despite not being remotely equipped to be president of the United States.
This is a bit of a problem. But in the storied ranks of political demagogues Donald Trump, though talented, is a second-rater. If Republican politicians and conservative leaders can’t overcome the challenge of Trump, they’re probably not up to the challenges of governance.”
