"Playing the same game of pretend with our democracy in the balance. After all the downside for humoring him for just a little more time is likely to be felt by other people. The upside of humoring? That accrues directly to the Republicans who want power." https://t.co/CHGLfY1yC4 — PolitiTweet.org

"The obvious subtext is even in a scenario where DeSantis or someone of his ilk were to dispatch Trump, that victorious candidate would still be forced to continue humoring Trump’s mania in the general election and beyond to keep the coalition together." https://t.co/CHGLfY1yC4 — PolitiTweet.org

"This view about how important it is that DeSantis not alienate the people who want to overturn American democracy was echoed...They just believed that it’s too much to ask that a politician refuse to humor them." https://t.co/CHGLfY1yC4 — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"Back in Nov. 2020, they figured that, come Jan. 20, 2021, Trump would be gone and they would no longer have to humor him...The new posture the GOP Smart Set has settled on for dealing with Trump is: “What’s the downside for humoring him...until he dies.” https://t.co/CHGLfY1yC4 — PolitiTweet.org

Sometimes it's hard being a liberal conservative or a conservative liberal--first you're annoyed with your allies on one side, then with those on the other. But you look up and you're defending the heroes of Ukraine against a Tucker Carlson-Noam Chomsky axis, and it gets easy. — PolitiTweet.org

Hey, I planted some of those! (Ok, actually, I “supervised” a few younger types who planted some of the sunflowers. Gave them invaluable guidance as you can imagine. Based on my deep botanical studies.) In any case: Sláva Ukrayíni! Heróyam sláva! — PolitiTweet.org

It's kind of remarkable to see so many Republicans and conservatives laboring over what to say now about Donald Trump, searching for novel formulations of carefully calibrated disapproval. When all they have to do is fire up the old Twitter app and type these words: Never Trump! — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

No one on @WSJopinion or @nypost learned anything new from the Jan. 6th hearings. If they're now cutting loose from Trump, it's based on an evaluation of Trump's political prospects. It's good they think him weaker. But it's a calculation, not a product of character or principle. — PolitiTweet.org

Great Britain in 1940 and Ukraine in 2022 show what free men and women can do in defending against aggression and defending civilization against barbarism. America First opposed helping Britain; today's America First is against helping Ukraine. We are better than America First. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

As Trump feels pressure from DeSantis et al, he may well go increasingly America First/isolationist/anti-NATO, etc., in foreign policy. Most of Trump's opponents are closer to a more traditional conservative internationalism. As in 2016, Trump will try to exploit that difference. — PolitiTweet.org

"Republicans failed to render Trump unable to run again by voting against his conviction...So Cheney is asking: Now that we have demonstrated Trump’s depraved dereliction of duty, are you ready to say he’s unfit as a leader of your party and the country?" https://t.co/mQmqoDRcJM — PolitiTweet.org

If even the Murdoch mouthpieces are (at long, long last) willing to say Trump’s bad character is disqualifying, perhaps actual Republican elected officials and candidates could say Trump’s bad character is disqualifying? Indeed, isn’t a refusal to say that itself disqualifying? — PolitiTweet.org
