Interview: Bill Kristol and John Ziegler Agree that Conservatism Would Be Better Off Had Hillary Won
by John Ziegler | Mar 4th, 2019, 2:39 pm
In the modern history of American politics, has there been a group deemed so completely irrelevant, while also being the subject of continuous attacks, even from the president of the United States, as “Never Trump†conservatives? Yesterday, I interviewed conservative commentator Bill Kristol, who is the de facto leader of that movement, of which I am usually a supporter.
The conversation was part of my new Individual 1 podcast, which focuses, twice a week, on chronicling the Trump presidency from a conservative perspective. We hit on a number of important topics, including the lunacy of CPAC, whether it would have been better if Trump had lost to Hillary, whether Kristol’s plan to find a legitimate challenger for Trump in the 2020 GOP primary is realistic, which Democrats Kristol could support in 2020 against Trump, and what the future holds after Trump is gone.
Kristol referred to the just-completed CPAC as a “clown show†that was strong evidence that the entire conservative movement has devolved into a “racket.†He found it interesting that I reminded him that when Trump first spoke to CPAC he had to pay $100,000 over two years for the privilege and that this may have been how he realized that the conservative movement embraced “hucksters,†and was therefore very vulnerable to a hostile takeover.
