Sadly, David Horowitz, a guy who used to be a staunch American Conservative, is now a big Trumpite, and he is very, very unhappy with Bill Kristol at the uber-Trump supporting Breitbart
David Horowitz: ‘Kristol’s Betrayal Gets Serious’
Over the Memorial Day Weekend, Bill Kristol doubled down on his betrayal of this country with a pair of tweets:
“Just a heads up over this holiday weekend: There will be an independent candidate — an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance,†Kristol tweeted.
He also said, “Those accused of betraying GOP by opposing Trump can take heart from P. Henry 251 years ago today: ‘If this be treason, make the most of it!’â€
This fatuous invocation of an American patriot to justify the betrayal typifies the arrogant disregard for political realities shared by all those involved in a defection that could produce even greater disasters than the Obama era’s 400,000 deaths by jihad and 20 million refugees across the Middle East.
So, Kristol pushing for an independent candidate to run against Hillary and Donald is now a betrayal of the country. Seriously. This is what is being pushed at Breitbart. Andrew is surely rolling in his grave. This is an absurd line of attack, which, really, deems all those who refuse to get on the Trump Train as traitors. I’ve been called a traitor myself by Trump supporters, for failing to support a guy who has little in common with my deeply held beliefs, a guy who is mostly a squishy Democrat.
Horowitz gives little reason to actually support Trump. He just assumes that Trump is better than Hillary, because she’s a registered Democrat. Like Trump used to be. He does spend a long time discussing counter-jihad, and how Democrats have been the party of appeasement and avoidance, till he gets to
Within three months of the invasion, with American troops still in harm’s way, the Democrats who had authorized the use of force and spoken in favor of the removal of Saddam turned against the war and began a five-year campaign to sabotage it. The Democrats reversal — and betrayal of our men and women in arms — was triggered by a presidential primary in which a left-wing candidate, Howard Dean, was running away with the Democratic nomination.
Guess who else decided to complain and oppose the Operation Iraqi Freedom at the same time as the Democratic Party? Donald Trump.
This is the issue that defines the coming election. A party in denial about the Muslim holy war against America and its allies, whose basic instinct is to weaken America’s defenses and enable her enemies, is opposed by a party that wants to rebuild America’s strength, secure our borders, and put the safety of our people first.
The Kristol attack on the Republican Party and its presumptive candidate Donald Trump is an attack on all Americans and needs to be seen in that light.
These are the kinds of despicable, anti-Democracy attacks on those who do not support Trump at this time that further harden the #NeverTrump support and pushing those who could still be wooed into at least holding their nose and checking the box for Trump closer to the #NeverTrump movement.
How do we know Trump would be better than Democrats? Because he has said so? Where’s the evidence? You know what? It doesn’t matter. The Trumpites like Horowitz can kiss my ass and take their traitor talk and choke themselves with it. Trump, and big supporters like Horowitz, enable comments like this
Thomas Williams: Bill Kristol is guilty of sabotaging the vote of the American people and will be held accountable.
Held accountable for daring to engage in our free and democratic process? Sounds more like Trumpites are veering into fascism/authoritarianism.
Crossed at Right Wing News.
The GOP beginning with Reagan bankrolled and midwifed jihad
They own it
When I lived in Afghanistan in 1976-77 they lived Anericans there no one ever called me a “crusader”
As for being called traitor, that was what all Iraq war dissenters were called
You live in a battleground state, if Trump appears in Nov to lose in a landslide will you still vote for him?

I voted for Sen. Cruz here in Texas. Nothing wrong hoping for a Solomon or David, might be getting a Herod. Hope it turn out to be like Temple (Wall) builder, not the one that beheaded John the Baptist.
So because you didn’t hear the term, is was never used or said? Is that your point?
Tell me john, are you trying to say that the term “crusader” was made up or created after 1977?
Linguists want to know the basis of this stunning assertion of yours.
Are you really asking if people should vote based on polls held before an election?
Remember Thomas Dewey, john?
From WaPo, discussing Trump’s take on libel laws:
“Erroneous statement is inevitable in free debate,†Brennan (Assoc Justice, William) wrote, and “must be protected if the freedoms of expression are to have the ‘breathing space’ that they ‘need . . . to survive.’ â€
Now comes Trump, proposing, somehow, to restrict that breathing space.
Brennan’s conclusion in New York Times v. Sullivan was that public figures must demonstrate “actual malice†— that is, knowing and reckless disregard for the truth — to prove libel. Trump has spoken about his desire to “open up those libel laws. So that when the New York Times writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace, or when The Washington Post . . . writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money, instead of having no chance of winning because they’re totally protected.â€
Never voted for a Demonkrat, and I’m not starting now…problem is it appears to eliminates both major party candidates at this time.
My barber is 38 and just told me that he has never been into politics and has never voted in his life. Now that he has heard Trump, he is going to go to the polls and vote for him. Trump resonates with regular people who can’t stand politicians.
Based upon the comments section of that Horowitz piece Breitbart has never been so closely aligned with anti-Semitism either. A year ago that junk would have been stomped down on and hard by other readers. Now it’s accepted without a word of protest. Sad really.

Trump is a racist, sexist, xenophobic, thin-skinned, con-man – and he’s the Republican nominee for president of the United States of America.
Well, there is one thing you can say about Hilldog that you can’t say about Trump…
She’s being investigated by the FBI…
