Bill Kristol: Republican Party’s ‘Unification Means Capitulation’ to Trump
Breitbart ^ | 12 May 2016 | Pam Key

Thursday on MSNBC, while discussing Speaker of the House Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) meeting with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard, told members of the Republican Party that reunifying the party would mean “capitulation.”

So, Billy, You’d rather capitulate to Hillary, Biden or Bernie?

All of them are to be shunned as lepers.

Guilt by association? Some of them are worthy of attention; others not. Be selective.

So this putz, rather than bowing to FACT (that Donald J. Trump is going to be the Republican nominee for President of the United States in 2016), would rather hand the election to Hillary Clinton than swallow his pride and support (or at least not oppose) someone whom the majority of Republicans have chosen to be the nominee. He’d rather let someone with whom he philosophical disagrees about 98% of the time gain the ultimate power in this country, than let someone with whom he philosophically disagrees maybe 50% of the time gain such power.

I’m having trouble deciding whether Kristol is a traitor, a massive hypocrite, or is merely as stupid as a box of rocks.

“I’m still a Cruz fan but I’ve “capitulated”. I’m going to vote for Trump. The alternative is President Hillary.

*******

Just a minor point, but I think capitulation is a poor choice of words. Had Trump lost to Cruz I would have immediately chosen him over Hillary without the need for a qualifying word.”


I agree wholeheartedly with both of you. I was a Cruz guy (I even donated to him last March when he declared), but Trump won me over (and Cruz lost me, for a variety of reasons). But had Cruz won and Trump lost, there wouldn’t even have been a question in my mind of voting for him - of COURSE I would have. Ditto for ANY of the other 15 who ran - they all, despite their political flaws, are leagues better than Hillary or any Dem.

Oh, and screw Kristol with a rusty chainsaw.

No, Billy, it really means capitulation to the majority of people in the GOP who voted for Trump. You know, just like in a real republic.

“These are the individuals associated with the Weakly Substandard, Bill Kristol-nact’s publication”

Thanks for the list. I don’t think anybody reads this anymore. I hope not.

I wonder how many of these people have endorsed Hillary Clinton.

Day after day, this hysterical Neocon digs an ever deeper hole in which to bury any credibility he ever had.

Just what does it say about anyone else's credibility, who would give Kristol the time of day.

Unifying the Republican Party means unifying the Republican Party; recognizing common interests, common purpose. It also means accepting the result of the Primaries, where Donald Trump has won a clear victory.

Now I understand, perfectly well, having focused on the Neocon Phenomenon, when they were misleading George W. Bush, in the first decade of this century, what Kristol's problem is. Donald Trump puts America First. He does not want to sacrifice American youth, treasure or interests to accommodate the grand schemes of Leftwing theorists, masquerading as Conservatives. That demotes the Neocon "Godfather's" son's importance.

The interesting thing in the process, is that Bill Kristol is now completing his own demotion by a classic demonstration of total irrelevance to the future. Good riddance!

(Maybe there is some comet on its way, that Beck & Kristol could hop on for a bit of "space exploration." Any astronomers on this thread with any ideas?)

Who is Bill Kristol to be telling elected party leaders what to do? STFU Bill.

It has now been over 2 1/2 hours since I posted reply #87.

I had hoped that by now, someone would have identified a comet that could carry Kristol & Beck onto some form of space exploration.

They continue to demonstrate how ready they are for the journey.

How about elitist capitulation to GOP voters for a change, Kristol.

So as Conan the Barbarian says, “The best thing is to crush your enemies — See them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!”

Listening to Little Billy Kristol we are hearing the “lamentation of their women!”

Anyone hear Sean Hannity’s radio show this afternoon?

Sean said the #NeverTrump politicians, including Nitwit Romney and Ben sASSe, are making phone calls to GOP Senators and Governors urging them to run for president as a third party.

The plan is to have one GOP RINO run in several states, and then have another GOP RINO run in a bunch of different states, etc. The goal is not to have a third party win, but to deny Trump a victory. “This is for the Republican party,” Romney is alleged to have said. “You will thank us.”

Of course, these moves would cause Hillary to win. Bunch of RINO scumbags.

The best part of Bill Kristol ran down Irving's leg.

He knows he is toast. My best to Buckley/NR, if they can clean house.

Kristol calls himself ‘conservative’, whereas
he is a colonic fawning parasite for bad-Gov. Romney
who is another
psychotic pseudoconservative.

They have self-outed. There is no doubt in my mind the Globalists will NEVER have my support or trust.
