Flashback February 2016: Bill Kristol knows his predictions have been bad but he’s going to keep making them

Flashback February 2016. The Washington Post reports on often wrong Bill Kristol

Over a long career as a writer, editor and prominent figure in the conservative establishment, Kristol has made many calls that clanked.

Like the time in 2006 when he predicted on Fox News that Barack Obama wouldn’t win a single primary against Hillary Clinton. Or when he predicted that Obama would appoint then-Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to the Supreme Court. Or when he said repeatedly in October that Vice President Biden was about to jump into the 2016 presidential race. Or when he predicted a victory by Marco Rubio in New Hampshire earlier this month.

Or that time he said in the Weekly Standard that Rudy Giuliani would run in 2012. Or that time on Fox when he said convicted Sen. Ted Stevens would be re-elected. Or when he said in 1993 that a march on Washington that year would be “the high-water mark” for the gay and lesbian rights movement . Or the time he championed Sarah Palin’s vice presidential candidacy, writing in the New York Times, “A Wasilla Wal-Mart Mom a heartbeat away [from the presidency]? I suspect most voters will say, No problem. And some — perhaps a decisive number — will say, It’s about time.”

Imagine that.
