Kristol: ‘I Hope We Can Save the GOP from This Mistake’

The boss appeared on CNN Thursday to discuss the Republican party with Donald Trump at its forefront, and to press the case of how a conservative alternative to Trump and Hillary Clinton in the general election could pull off a victory.

“Great parties make mistakes, and they need to be saved from their mistakes in exceptional circumstances. I hope we can save the Republican party from this mistake, because I think after six months of Trump — a convention, debates — if he becomes the face of the Republican party, the only face of the Republican party, even if he loses, which I expect him to do, I think this is a real crisis for the Republican party. I don’t think it’s easy for the Republican party to move beyond Donald Trump after he is the Republican party for six months, which is why I think it’s so important someone else step forward.”
