Nobody knows when George Armstrong Custer died at the Battle of the Little Bighorn on 25 June 1876, but it's clear, given where his body was found, that he was one of the last to die. I picture him, pistol in hand, rallying his troops. "Come on, boys; don't give up! We can whip these savages!" William Kristol is in the rallying stage of his battle against Donald Trump. You may rest assured that he will meet Custer's fate. The sad thing is that he doesn't have to. He can get right with Donald today and start sleeping soundly by tomorrow evening. Once the Battle of the Little Bighorn began, Custer had no chance to get right with Crazy Horse or Gall.
Addendum: Kristol refers to Trump as "a grinning con man, basking in the approbation of his credulous supporters." There in that one descriptive passage is Kristol's elitism, disdain, and condescension. It's not enough for Kristol to think that Trump is inferior to one of the other Republican candidates. That's a fair judgment. He has to make a personal attack on Trump's supporters, calling them "credulous." William Kristol knows what's best for you, you hayseed, you hick, you hillbilly, you rube. Don't you know that he has a Ph.D. degree from Harvard (in government, no less)? Defer to him! Vote for whichever candidate he deems best for you and for the country! Kneel!
