[Donald ] Trump is more important than all of us. He's more important than the media.
William Kristol
If the American people really come to a settled belief that Bush lied us into war, his presidency will be over.
William Kristol
Conservative policies have on the whole worked - insofar as any set of policies can be said to 'work' in the real world. Conservatives of the Reagan-Bush-Gingrich-Bush years have a fair amount to be proud of.
William Kristol
The trouble with politics and political coverage today is that there's too much liberal bias.... There's too much tilt toward the left-wing agenda. Too much apology for liberal policy failures. Too much pandering to liberal candidates and causes.
William Kristol
I am on the whole a defender of the current, despite being a conservative. I mean, I think things are better than when I was younger.
William Kristol
Iraq's always been very secular.
William Kristol
Whenever I hear anything described as a heartless assault on our children, I tend to think it’s a good idea.

For all the talk about the bitterness and the partisanship in American politics, is it really that bitter and partisan? Think of American history. Think of Joseph McCarthy. Think of the New Left. Think of [George] McGovern. Think of [Ronald] Reagan. Think of George Wallace. We've had an awful lot of real extremism on both wings.
William Kristol
If we free the people of Iraq, we will be respected in the Arab world... and I think we will be respected around the world.
William Kristol
Many of Bush's defenders have praised him for keeping the country safe since Sept. 11, 2001. He deserves that praise, and I'm perfectly happy to defend most of his surveillance, interrogation and counterterrorism policies against his critics.
William Kristol
I was Never Trump. But it turned out never republican was really the theme of this election.
William Kristol
I mean, obviously, one of the strongest arguments against evolution and selection of the fittest and progress, which is part of evolution, is the current field of the presidential candidates. We started off with Washington and Adams and Jefferson and then we had Lincoln, and now we moved ahead and look where we are now.
William Kristol
Political parties are complicated coalitions and aren't excessively theoretical.
William Kristol
There are a few things [Donald Trump] has been pretty clear he'll do. A big infrastructure program that he'll get bipartisan support for.
William Kristol
My sense from talking to college students is that you have a healthier sense of the diversity of opinions or arguments or analysis about issues. In our day it was just sort of, Well gee, this is what the news says so that's the way it is. It didn't really get challenged that much.
William Kristol
I don't think you want political parties that are entirely driven by some extremely doctrinal ideology.
William Kristol
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
I think there was a moment in the middle part of the century into the 60s, 70s when at least elite journalism claimed to be non-partisan. You can go back and look at it and wonder about how non-partisan it was.
William Kristol
All defense secretaries in wartime have, needless to say, made misjudgments.
William Kristol
The media claimed to be non-partisan, centrist. It's not been that way for a lot of history.
