We’ll give Bill Kristol credit for acknowledging that this is just one reason among others that the Biden administration must succeed, but this is not the reason we would have picked out to highlight in its own tweet. President Biden is failing miserably in Afghanistan, but Kristol says it’s crucial that the administration succeed. Why? Because American lives depend on it? No, bhttps://twitter.com/JimHansonDC/status/1429128928107565062ecause if he doesn’t, a Trumpist Republican could win the presidency in 2024.
One reason (among others) it's crucial the Biden Administration succeed:
1. For now the GOP is Trumpist.
2. A failing Biden administration will make it easier for the GOP to remain Trumpist.
3. A failed Biden administration could well result in a 2024 victory for a Trumpist GOP.— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) August 21, 2021
So we take it Kristol is concerned that his Biden administration isn’t succeeding.
Also, American failure is bad for America. https://t.co/6DHKxi9TTy

This is just ghoulish, Bill. I guess you were always like this. https://t.co/f3OjsLgj3L

No mention of succeeding just to keep Americans and Afghans from dying at the hands of the Taliban. TDS sure warps the brains of these guys. https://t.co/xpuXiCfQsc

When you place your hopes of success on a rescue plan for political reasons, you're no longer the moral authority. https://t.co/2qnpHmaHxs

Bill hasn't yet figured out that for all of Trump's myriad faults, there was a worse option.
Bill chose that option. The rest is trying to distance himself from the odious stench of that choice. https://t.co/gOas7GNpU7

If "Trumpism" is preferred over the Democrats being Democrats, then maybe Democrats are the problem here. https://t.co/N6ZxGozRxt

Reasons Joe Biden was elected president & is failing.
1. Bill Kristol
2. Grifters like Bill Kristol.
3. Ignorant voters that listen to people like Bill Kristol. https://t.co/YCj5Vo1iu8— TheRightWingM 🇺🇸 (@TheRightWingM) August 21, 2021

A big reason the GOP became Trumpist is because of the complete and utter political failure of neoconservatism, so I'm not sure Bill Kristol is the guy to be taking cues from. https://t.co/1sMYUeuzKF

Kristol’s really getting dragged by his new friends in the comments for not cheering on the Biden administration and instead talking about failure.
