Sad and pathetic: Delusional Bill Kristol prepares ‘war machine’ to challenge Trump for 2020 GOP nomination

By Thomas Lifson September 15, 2018

Swamp fever has taken a toll on a number of DC-dwelling conservative pundits and driven them mad. They seem to be competing with each other to see who can bark at the moon loudest.

• There’s Jennifer Rubin, who has excoriated Trump for taking positions that she previously advocated.
• There’s George Will, who wished for a 50 state sweep for corrupt Hillary Clinton.
• But making a strong move to capture leadership of this cohort is Bill Kristol, who still fancies himself a kingmaker, despite the ignominious defeat of his second-choice Trump challenger Evan McMullin after first choice David French bowed out.
• Recall that Kristol’s deep-think strategy was to have McMullin win the votes of (presumably straight-laced) Utah voters who shared McMullin’s Mormon faith, and thereby deny the "short-fingered vulgarian" Trump the electoral votes of the Beehive State, which Kristol theorized might swing the election to Hillary.

Undeterred by playing the fool in 2016, Kristol is, in the memorable words of Lieutenant General Honore, “stuck on stupid” and looking for a new patsy candidate to mobilize the inevitable defeat of Trump in the GOP nomination contest.............Kristol thinks he can create a ‘war machine’ that will prevail over a sitting president with 90% approval from Republicans...............Read more My Take - Well, congratulations Billie.....you are now a member in good standing of the Club For the Galacticly Stupid, along with Maxine, Nancy, Chuck, and a host of others.
