This is sad and funny at the same time. William Kristol's window of opportunity for getting right with Donald Trump is rapidly closing. Does he not realize that Republicans have tried winning with establishment candidates (John McCain, Mitt Romney) the past two election cycles? Where did it get us? And please spare us the bit about Trump lacking "principles." Everyone has principles; some are articulate and some are not. Kristol may not like Trump's principles, but many others do.
What we know is this: Trump will seal the border, stop the insanity that is free trade, rebuild our military, and get the economy moving again. He will appoint the very best people to cabinet positions. He will eliminate a great deal of the waste, fraud, and abuse that makes government so inefficient and costly. As for health care, there is no reason this country can't provide for everyone. Conservatism is not libertarianism. I'm not saying I like ObamaCare, because I don't. I despise the individual mandate and the subsidies to insurance companies.
The wealthiest people in society (those who earn over $1,000,000 per year, for example) should have to pay significantly more income tax, the proceeds to be earmarked for health care for the needy. Yes, my position on health care is changing. I'm abandoning the last vestiges of my youthful libertarianism and becoming a better conservative.
