    Your ignorance is showing again. Boot was a Sr. Fellow on Jeane Kilpatricks studies on Conservatice records.
    Contributor to Weekly Standard
    Wrote for Commentary Magazine
    Christian Science Monitor
    Wall Street Journal
    He was a foreign politics adviser on McCain's campaign.
    He was a real bigtime Republican and conservative who figured out what a disaster trump is. Evmerto showing his ignorance again.

    He had "a moralistic vision of America as a beacon of democracy and staunch foe of dictatorships".

    His rise in the GOP was “a process of indoctrination ... that took decades".

    He subscribed to the view that Buckley "built [American] conservatism as a serious movement of ideas."

    He thinks "racism and sexism exert a harmful influence over American life", although he "disagrees with the corrosiveness of woke leftist discourse".

    The guy was next thing to a Commie!

    You just say the opposite of the facts, don't you. It gets old. He was a hardcore righty and highly respected until Daffy came along.

    Just because somebody claims to be a Republican or even a conservative, doesn't mean that they really are one. Kinda like Whites can claim to be black or Native American, only they aren't.

    Lefties can become righties, but righties can never go back to being lefties. Righties have a culture and knowledge that make them what they are, and this can never be forgotten. We were once lefties like you are, way back when we were born. We screamed for that tit or bottle for survival just like lefties scream for their welfare income today, but we now have knowledge that supercedes our innate leftyism. We still have an inner lefty, but we do not act on it like dogs, livestock, and lefties do.

    He was a lefty like McCain, Flake, Ryan, and the rest of the lefty rhino Repubs. When Trump came along, the rhino shitbags were hearing the same air raid siren sound that lefties were hearing. Trump pointed the spotlight on on all these shitbag rhinos and lefties, and the cockroaches went all over the place.

    Nope a far-right conservative intellectual. He was a brain on the far right. you are not, and certainly not qualified to make any comment about him. He was never a RINO but a big-time leader. You are not qualified to make a comment on a guy who was deep into conservative politics and thought. But I knew you would pipe in with something stupid,. You obviously never read anything he wrote. just more noise.

    They made a good bit of the journey to the right, but I don't know if they ever made it all the way. Trump sure did expose Jeb as being a boring pussy...

Instead he treats the rise of Trump with the seriousness an event of such magnitude demands. If you discovered your best friend was working on a plan to kill hundreds of people in a terrorist attack, you wouldn’t simply condemn his plan while continuing to appreciate his non-terrorist qualities. You would question your entire relationship and what it is about this person you missed in the first place. Likewise, when your political party has elected an ignorant, viciously bigoted, compulsively lying authoritarian crook as president, you need to raise fundamental assumptions about that party’s makeup, rather than treat it as an unfortunate turn of events one must muddle through.


    Boot recounts briefing Sarah Palin, in his capacity as a McCain 2008 campaign adviser. (Unsurprisingly, he “found her to be nonresponsive and uninterested in foreign policy issues.”) After he began criticizing Trump, Boot describes the president of a conservative think tank expressing private agreement, but admitting he could not say so publicly for fear of offending his board of directors. When a friend got an appointment in the administration, she crossed Boot off the guest list for a party lest she be associated with a turncoat. Reexamining his career and the movement that brought him up professionally with a more skeptical eye, Trump’s rise becomes more explicable.

    Max Boot a Republican?

    Boot said he would “sooner vote for Josef Stalin than he would vote for Donald Trump.”
    Not a Conservative or a Republican. The guy has been surrounded by leftists all his life.

    Boot was educated at the University of California, Berkeley (BA, History, 1991) and Yale University (MA, Diplomatic History, 1992).[1] He started his journalistic career writing columns for the Berkeley student newspaper The Daily Californian.

    You are a lefty, so there is no way for you to be able to differentiate a rhino from a righty.

    Lefties can't tell the difference between Rhinos, righties, Repubs, and conservatives. To them, we are all the same thing.

    Don't even bother trying to understand. Lefties can't tell the difference between Rhinos, righties, Repubs, and conservatives. To them, we are all the same thing.

    I'm a lifelong Republican. I'm trying to understand if you think everyone is a RINO except for Trump?
