Bill Kristol: I’m ‘Afraid’ Trump Could Win
by Pam Key12 Jun 2016383

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol commented on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s chances in the general election and said that he was “afraid” presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump could win.

Kristol said, “You know, it’s so interesting watching the interviews with Paul Ryan and Paul Manafort. I’ve known Paul Ryan for 20 years. I like him very much. And it was painful to watch, I’ve got to say. I mean, the people who are now rationalizing supporting Donald Trump when they are proud to be representatives of the party of Lincoln, a protege of Jack Kemp, it’s going to be a horrible four or five months for the Republican Party. People do not understand how much damage, from my point of view, Donald Trump will do. Having said that, the other thing I was struck by watching Paul Manafort, they have a clear message. I think people are totally underestimating Trump’s chance of winning. That doesn’t make me happy, but Manafort, you know, they’re going to slough aside all the insults, all the terrible things Trump has said and say do you want change or not? And if it’s only Trump or Hillary Clinton in a change election, you can have a pretty flawed change messenger and I’m afraid he could win.”

This one's for you, Bill:

He should be. Americans want better then nice statements.

Yes. If they elect Trump, it's proof they don't give a good damn about the country and want a belligerent ignoramus at the helm.  And they will deserve every bit of what they get.

Hey, the people want what they want.

Hey, the people want what they want.

As HL Mencken said:  "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

Of course. Trump is America today, after at least a decade and a half of reality and "rich and famous" lifestyles.

Makes no difference which turd wins, I'm not supporting either.

I believe the message loud and clear, is Safety. It is a winning message.

Obama has failed miserably, and Hillary would do no better. She lied about Benghazi.

As it now stands the election will be won by Trump or Clinton.

If your mind and postings wander far from that choice, you are mostly engaging in magical thinking.

Letting an obsession pull you away from reality. Think 1968 and 1972. And 1980.

Sadly, Bill Kristol is right.  The great deceiver could readily win.  The dammocraps are putting up the most execrable candidate imaginable.  stumpy is worse, but hitlery is so bad, I can understand people voting for lying don.
