It’s hard out there for a Principled Conservative™. Just ask Bill Kristol.
Now that he’s effectively burned his bridge to the Republican Party, he doesn’t have much of a choice but to try to appeal to his new group of friends, the Democrats.
To that end, he made a humble request this morning of Democrats, in the form of a heartfelt Twitter plea:
Dear Democrats?♂️,
Just spitballing here. Maybe take a pass on the 78-year olds—a billionaire with NDAs, a socialist, and an ex-VP who’s lost a step? And maybe not the 38-year old small-city mayor or the liberal Harvard prof? Maybe the Midwesterner who resembles Dem 2018 winners?— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) February 20, 2020
He’s right that the Democratic candidates suck. But we can’t help but find it hilarious that he thinks he’s in any position to tell Democrats how to proceed. Like Jennifer Rubin, Tom Nichols, et al., Bill Kristol was only too eager to help lay the track for the Democratic presidential crazy train, and now that it’s gotten away from him, he’s panicking.
Something tells us that Kristol’s pushing for Amy Klobuchar won’t have much of an effect on things. But bless his heart for thinking otherwise.
EVERYONE LISTEN! IT’S @BillKristol TALKING AND HIS ADVICE IS ALWAYS SUPER CEREAL AND GOOD!

Dear Kristol,
The Democrats are not your friends. They will throw you over their hull as soon as you’re no longer useful to them. https://t.co/NxNuKgf9QH— Sam Valley (@SamValley) February 20, 2020
Pretty soon, no one will have any use for Bill Kristol. And he’ll have himself to thank for that.
