You have to be Trump level evil to get me to do that. As an aside he was anti-Trump.

He wasn't somebody that could be put in a box. He supported abortion rights.

In any case it is a terrible day for his family.

Grave dancing is ugly, and certain duers never fail to show that ugliness.

What ever we know that he was, there were a few people who loved & cared for him. Tomorrow morning, they will know they will never see him, talk to him, have a coffee or a smile together again, it's a loss to those 2 people. I didn't like or agree with him, but I can feel sorry for their loss as a human.

Really bad. I will say you held true to original intent, for the most part.

Krauthammer was smart enough to know his role in creating today’s national emergency.

Still, respect to the dead. RIP.

I remember him lying about the ACA and calling for its repeal...even though he himself was paralyzed and knew how important having healthcare was.

He seems to have had regrets in the end, and actually spoke out against Trump shortly before his death, when he knew the end was near. Too little too late.

Krauthammer did reject Trumpism.

One should never speak ill of the dead.
So I will say nothing else about Krauthammer.
Condolences to his family.
