Bill Kristol Gets Jump on 2024 Election Denial, Says If Trump Wins It's Putin's 'Geostrategic Coup'

Bill Kristol is ridiculous. We remember when he used to be a serious conservative thinker, until he let Trump break his brain. For all Kristol's bloviating about democracy, he sure seems opposed to people voting in ways he might not like.

“If Trump wins, then Putin will have executed one of the geostrategic coups of the last century. He will have…through soft and hard power, defeated and broken NATO because he understood the character of the American voter better than anyone in the West.” https://t.co/9Ulki7imAr

Wowza, Bill.

He's quoting a Bulwark article that only briefly mentions Trump and Putin, but that's what Bill focuses on.

Because Orange Man Bad. Or something.

Is Putin in the room with you now Bill?

Probably.

We remember that.

Remember when Putin attacked all those countries during the Trump administration?

Crimea? Ukraine?

Me neither.

Because Trump is Putin's puppet. Or something.

That's all they've got right now.

"If democracy doesn't go our way, we're going to deny the election results with another conspiracy theory. It's different when we do it though."

That's exactly what he's saying.

Bill has been wrong about everything.

If Bill told us the sky was blue, we'd go look for ourselves.

Ah, the 2016 playbook. "If Trump wins, Putin wins" again. https://t.co/UU6VawPdwV

Everything old is new again.

If American liberalism genuinely thought Trump this sort of threat then it would not be running an older guy too mentally diminished to be prosecuted or a vice president so unqualified she makes Dan Quayle look like Trajan https://t.co/QiQhYpaX0L

Bingo.

Accepting this premise arguendo, if (small-d) democratic elites were outfoxed in understanding their electorates by an autocrat half a world away whose geopolitical success is at best (for him) mixed, those elites deserved to fail. https://t.co/UR40vEuPxb

A very good point.

Bill is already denying the 2024 election. https://t.co/eNh9YKS7sx

— J L Fairchild (@J_L_Fairchild) May 15, 2024

Yep. We thought election denial was a bad thing.

Sure. Almost as impressive as when he planted Robby Mook in HRC's 2016 campaign and blocked her from paying any attention to Michigan, Wisconsin, & Pennsylvania. If DJT wins in 2024, (D) incompetence, not Putin, will be the reason. https://t.co/9AQkbp3Wrt

And the economy, the open borders, rising crime.
