1. AS Lee Corso would say...not so fast my friend!

[dameatball]

42. Sad to see Lee going downhill. I lived in Bloomington when he rode an elephant in a parade.

[Canoe52]

2. Yeah, Bill is the democratic partys best friend.

Really, I need the sarcasm thingy? All right here it ‘tis...

[Cary]

13. Where does he have to go?

[poboy2]

3. That is funny. -nt

[melman]

4. But nothing

Enough of this fucking guy already.

[PJMcK]

5. Weirdness in the Era of Trump

When I find myself in agreement with Bill Kristol, we're in SpongeBob's "Opposite Day."

Strange.

[UpInArms]

6. Even a stopped clock is

Right twice a day

[Chicago1980]

17. Unless its digital...

[Mr.Bill]

7. So we have a few republican pundits

trying to reinvent themselves now that that realize trump is a disaster. I'll listen to political advice from a third grader before I'll listen to someone who didn't see this coming the day Trump came down the escalator.

I knew this clown (Trump) was an crook the first time I heard him speak in the early 70s.

[BobTheSubgenius]

8. In fairness, I didn't see this coming until many days after the escalator nonsense.

I had ZERO expectation that he would make it past the first few states in the primaries. I had less than zero expectation that he would beat HRC in the general.

[Mr.Bill]

9. Same here,

But I saw the train wreck coming if he got there.

[Cosmocat]

16. I told people he was no joke

I didn't think he would definitely win the nomination, but I told people he was mo joke, and absolutely was a real threat to win the nomination, because he was what the Republican Party had become.
I didn't think he would beat Hillary, but again I told people if it came down to him and her the country was stupid enough to make him POTUS.

[EffieBlack]

37. Same here

And people just kept laughing ...

One of the things I kept telling people is that I thought Hillary had no idea how to run against him - and that was in no way a criticism of or a knock against her. In fact, NO ONE would have known how to run against him since every other candidate was a normal human being who would have trouble running against a man with no morals, no boundaries and no logic. Politics and campaigns are all about rules, so how do you get traction against someone who completely ignores - and actually blows right past - all rules? It's nearly impossible.

And, despite this, Hillary figured out how to beat him, did an amazing job and got 3 million more votes than he did. The problem was that she also had to beat Russia, Comey and a bunch of voter suppressors.

[Zoonart]

11. Here's my problem with these GOOPER pundits.

They were the same grave robbers that happily supplied the body parts to the Lab, and now they don't like how the monster turned out.

If tRump goes and we end up with Pence, or any other GOP gouhl, they will get right back onboard the good ship granny starver. They are NOT our friends.

[czarjak]

19. This has been coming since at least Nixon...

[Mr.Bill]

21. In my opinion

this is all happening because Nixon didn't die in prison. I'm tired of people in positions of authority from politicians to cops committing crimes and merely losing their jobs. And their colleagues who saw the crime being committed and didn't say anything having nothing happen to them. This is especially true with law enforcement.

[JI7]

22. They aren't reinventing themselves . they opposed Trump from the Start

[Mr.Bill]

23. When they jump from Fox to MSNBC

they are trying to reinvent themselves. They worked for a network that spread republican propaganda and they knew it. I will never have any use for them.

[JI7]

25. no they aren't. msnbc isn't a liberal channel

[Mr.Bill]

26. It's also not a republican

propaganda channel that knowingly spreads lies.

[JI7]

27. they did give Trump a lot of free airtime during the campaign to spread lies

[Mr.Bill]

28. Yes they did. Some of the hosts more than others.

And that was wrong. But if you think they spread republican hate and lied and agreed to it like they did over at Fox, there's no point in having any further conversation with you. We'll have to agree to disagree.

[JI7]

31. Kristol is not spreading right wing hate

he is attacking Trump as he has from the start.

[Mr.Bill]

32. All his years at Fox,

he was part of the problem. Long before Trump.

[JI7]

33. the problem is trump right now

you excused msnbc for giving free airtime to trump during the campaign .

[Mr.Bill]

34. Actually I specifically said it was wrong in post 28.

One more time, let's agree to disagree and part friends. This conversation is over for me.

[LanternWaste]

41. No, not free air-time at all, but rather, profitable air-time

You call it Free Airtime. I call it a direct result of ratings-based news content... a standard business model which has merely exploited fractured demographics.

No, not free air-time at all, but rather, profitable air-time resulting in happy share-holders. Don't ignore the forest by focusing on one tree only. It's a big forest.

[OnDoutside]

39. +1

[Pepsidog]

10. Despised in past but gotta say rather have him on our side. We need all the voices we can get

[Mr.Bill]

35. I'd rather have him

be a shift manager at Burger King where he can't poison the minds of millions of ignorant voters.

[shadowmayor]

12. Nope

I won't give any neo-con PNAC asshole any quarter. Just because he's anti-Trump does not make him my friend. MSNBC should be ashamed to even let this heartless prick on their set. May his toes find sharp corners in the dark the rest of his miserable limping life!

[Mr.Bill]

36. +1 here.

[Cary]

14. I don't know

I do want to like Kristol, Frum, Schmidt, Jennifer Rubin, Wilson, ....

They seem to have grown a little. I feel I can grow too but I'm not there yet.

[Kirk Lover]

15. I like everything Kristol has been saying bout RUMP, I can stand it just fine. Looks like he

wants to be part of the coalition of the decent....fine by me.

[JI7]

24. i can't see how it would not be fine

unless he runs for political office himself and is asking for others to vote for him .

but why someone would have a problem with just speaking out against the person they claim to oppose also is weird.

politics isn't a religion but too many times people treat it like it is.

[mvd]

18. He's the "intellectual" conservative

They use faulty reasoning but at least try to reason. That type of conservative usually dislikes the Trump type. While I will take his anti-Trump stuff, he's definitely not a friend to us.

[worstexever]

20. Yeah, it's uncomfortable

Bill's a #nevertrump-er and I find myself agreeing with him more often than not these days. Bassackwards!

[catbyte]

29. This is how badly I feel for you, Donald J. Trump

[IMG][/IMG]

[Cha]

30. Dumbshit stepped into that one.

[Gothmog]

38. Good tweet

[niyad]

40. bill, do not DARE to equate that orange blob of suet with witches. what a damned insult!!
