William Kristol More Quotes by William Kristol More Quotes From William Kristol [Among conservatives] there's been too much pseudo-populism, almost too much concern and attention for, quote, 'the people'....

William Kristol iraqpeoplethinking I think it's fine that there are five million people who are watching [politics on TV], and obviously I'm happy they are since they're on the air, and there are a couple hundred thousand people reading The Weekly Standard online, and that's great too, but most Americans aren't engaged that intensely, and are much less partisan.

William Kristol childrenideasthinking The repealing and replacing of Obamacare is very complicated. It is what a White House and congressional leadership, serious White House and serious congressional leadership, should meet on and work on and figure out a strategy of, and it may work and it may not. Obviously not every administration gets things through, even when they have much larger majorities in congress and a much larger popular vote than Donald Trump had.
