and his views on the Sunni and Shia haven't changed. I'd be very curious about that. So many people died needlessly there.

He doesn't have a good word to say about him, period. I doubt very much he voted to MAGA.

Having said that, Kristol has his own patented method of dismantling the working class. He just doesn't discriminate between black and white poor people.

who've been setting my teeth on edge for years are now actually tolerable. I'll never be a fan of Kristol, et.al., but they owe a ton of gratitude to Drumph for making them far less hateful to us Liberals---if they care.

Kristol is a Never-Trumper. Though I've found his positions repellent in the past, he's absolutely on the mark about Trump.

He’s been on both CNN and MSNBC not infrequently and is decidedly anti Trump and openly questioning of congressional R’s who support his out of bounds words and acts. It is kind of strange having common political ground with a Conservative.

There are many known Republicans who still hold their free market beliefs while detest Whiny Donny's boorish, loathsome behavior and comments.

Kristol is one, David Brooks another, Bret Stephens, too.

Even the WSJ editorial oppose his sand on immigration.

I thought it was a pretty appropriate metaphor for him. On those rare occasions he's correct.

One wonders what the difference is between righties who stick with this Creep and those who don’t.

I believe Kristol made some comment about the crazy right pushing him to being a democrat.
