This officially goes into that ‘you’ve got to be sh***ing us’ column. Seriously. We read a lot (and we mean A LOT) of stuff that often has us scratching our heads and laughing maniacally but THIS is off the charts insane.
Or is it?
Bill Kristol supporting Joe Walsh of all people to primary Trump?
“Mr. Kristol…admitted that the race would be ‘David and Goliath,’ with Mr. Walsh as the underdog… ‘But I think he’s a good David,’ he said.”

Alrighty then.
From the New York Times:
Mr. Walsh is being encouraged by William Kristol, the conservative writer and former editor of the now defunct magazine The Weekly Standard. Mr. Kristol has been a “Never Trump” Republican since Mr. Trump was elected in 2016 and has been working hard over the past year to recruit someone to run against him.
“He has a different appeal than Bill Weld,” Mr. Kristol said. “The fact that he was a Tea Party congressman who voted for Trump in 2016 gives him an ability to speak to Republican primary voters that ‘Never Trumpers’ like me don’t have.”
Huh.
This guy?
Senate GOP plans a Wednesday morning meeting if Roy Moore wins.
Smh. Bunch of weenies. They should just welcome Roy Moore with open arms.

He must have deleted it at some point but I remember Walsh once tweeting that it would be hypocritical for people to oppose a Congressional White Caucus

Joe Walsh complained about not being able to use the n-word. Bill Weld thinks partial-birth abortion should be legal. These aren't serious primary challengers.

Nobody has ever accused Bill Kristol or the Never Trump movement of being serious.
But we digress.
