“the GOP is “being led by a non-conservative populist””

Here’s the problem with setting political criteria and then drawing a line in the sand based on that criteria. What does “conservative” mean politically? It means absolutely nothing. McCain, Romney, Bush, Dole, BushI, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, Goldwater.....they all claimed to be “conservative” A definition that includes all those Presidents/candidates can’t possibly mean anything.

What Krauthammer is really saying is that he doesn’t like Trump and won’t vote for him because he predicted he would not get the nomination. He’s butt-hurt. He’s been shown to be a BS-er as a “political pundit” - as most have been. He is one of the legions of party members,lobbyists, pundits, and government officials that will be trudging forlornly out of the beltway when Trump is inaugurated next January.

THAT, and only that is the reason why he and every other GOPe type are opposing Trump - some going as far as to claim to vote for Hillary.

These aren’t Americans. They hold citizenship the fiefdom delineated by the DC beltway. They cannot believe that they will not be “in” anymore - the life change of having to be among the “great unwashed” is stunning to them. They hate America outside of the beltway. They are greedy little wusses - sociopaths - who simply have been used to pontificating (and paid handsomely for it) and being taken seriously. Now that they have been exposed, they cling to some future position of “see I was right after all and you didn’t listen to me”.

So Krauthammer is in good company....”good” from the standpoint of not having the fortitude, foresight, or intellect to connect the dots that we are sick of them. They have been exposed for the shallow, greedy, self-important BS-ers that they always have been.

GFY, and may you be out of favor for a long time.
