William Kristol continues to make an ass of himself. He says (1) that political parties can make mistakes, (2) that the Republican Party has made a mistake (in nominating Donald Trump), and (3) that the party needs to be saved from itself. Wrong. Kristol and his ilk have all but destroyed the Republican Party during the past couple of decades. (Does anybody remember John McCain and Mitt Romney?) Donald Trump is in the process of saving the party.
When Kristol says he won't vote for Trump, he is engaged in moral preening (a.k.a. virtue signaling). He's not the only one doing this, either. George Will has been preening for months. Their many columns and television appearances proclaim, to all who will read or listen, "We Ivy Leaguers are so much more sophisticated than the vulgarian Trump; to vote for him or otherwise to support him would be to lower ourselves to his level, which is unthinkable."
I have news for these insufferable elitists: Nobody, least of all Donald Trump, cares one whit what they think. They are the problem, not the solution. The Republican Party will be stronger and healthier with Trump at the helm that it has been in many decades. I predict that Kristol and Will will one day be singing Trump's praises as the savior of the party, just as people who once opposed Ronald Reagan came to revere him.
