“Bullying works better in politics and in life than I think it should.” – Bill Kristol
Bill Kristol is the editor of the Weekly Standard, and I sat down with him in his D.C. office to chat about why he isn’t supporting Trump, what will happen to the GOP after the election, and how the media has covered this race. We talk about the alt-right, the true definition of neoconservatism, and lessons from his career in Washington.
