You weren’t the only one to make a big mistake on the first Tuesday of November, 1968. My parents, after much agonizing, voted for Nixon. The first time either voted for a Republican. When they got home from the polls, they turned on the TV and saw Humphrey taking questions from an audience (I don’t recall what the show was). After a few minutes they turned to each other and simultaneously (I kid you not-I was there) said, “What have we done?” They never voted Republican again.

Kristol is a Republican at heart. Like all Republicans he has a penchant for--how do you say it,Tom?--ratfucking. Truman was right. A reason I just can’t go all in on appreciating Stuart Stevens, for example. You can only trust them until you can’t.
