Charles Krauthammer

Krauthammer was the gold standard of columnists, the most incisive mind in political journalism augmented by the most elegant and precise prose. For much of his life, no one was even close. In recent years, others have stepped forward as Charles had, as happens after many years in the limelight, more difficulty wrapping his mind around contemporary events. But as we now know, he was desperately ill.

Some of us have time left to make amends or to wring out a few more achievements before we die, but I do not think it is too early to say Charles Krauthammer was one of the great men of my generation. He was singularly remarkable and would be in almost any generation. Charles was an early resister. So far as I know he never said a stupid thing, never an embarrassing thing, never an ignoble or undignified utterance. He had plenty of opportunities. He was a fixture on television talk shows, in books, and in the public prints. In those places all he did was become the most gifted spokesman of his time.

Appearing on Fox News’s “Special Report” on Wednesday, host Bret Baier asked if Trump naming his nominees to the Supreme Court had any impact on Republican unity, to which Krauthammer said, “I think it will have a dramatic effect in doing that. The one thing holding back people who have resisted supporting Trump or at least the major thing is the fear of what a Clinton presidency would do to the Supreme Court and how it would change it for a generation.”

Charles Krauthammer slammed the recently uncovered video of OCare architect Jonathan Gruber saying the “stupidity of the American voter” required them to deceive the public about what was in the Obamacare, saying the comment represented the “true voice of liberal arrogance.”

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer believes that Tuesday’s midterm election is a “referendum on Obama’s hyper-liberalism,” and the results of an “incompetent” and “overreaching government.” 

Supposedly-conservative Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer said that he would legalize 11 million illegal immigrants currently in the United States in exchange for enhanced border security.

Krauthammer hails the SCOTUS 'towering' affirmative action decision, saying, "It's exactly the way you want to do it in a democracy."

Hidden in Obamacare is a neat little guarantee written for insurers. Charles Krauthammer said, “that buried deep in the ACA is a 'large government bailout' to cover up to 80% as insurance company losses.” Redistribution just crossed our empty plates again Americans.

Krauthammer suggested only raising wages for breadwinners. He then correctly noted that raising the min. wage would cause some job losses as "it's an axiom of economics: If you raise the price of everything, you are going to lower demand."

Obama, by issuing new rules that erode Obamacare's "financial structure," is putting the health insurance industry -- and taxpayers -- at risk, political analyst Charles Krauthammer said.

Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer wants Dem. Sen. Joe Manchin (WV) to follow his footsteps and join the Republican Party.

Krauthammer said that Obamacare is the law of the land via the SCOTUS and that it is honorable for Rick Scott to accept Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion in FL. But Mark Levin says that’s not true at all, that the one battle we won against Obamacare was when the SCOTUS ruled that states don’t have to accept the Medicaid expansion.

The American Spectator agrees: Dr. Krauthammer is wrong and CHQ chairman Richard Viguerie is right: the current series of GOP internal disputes is not about tactics. It's about shared goals. And when moderate R's repeatedly try and talk the conservative talk while their programmatic body language says exactly to the contrary — they compound the problem by undermining their own credibility.

“...There is much less division among conservatives than some people pretend and that the left-wing media, the liberal media, would like us to believe,” Charles Karauthammer said. “They love running stories on the great civil war among Repubs. The great civil war is happening on the Dem. side where there is this massive rebellion of Democrats against Obama..."

Charles Krauthammer, speaking on the VA giv race, said, "Obamacare single handedly turned what should have been a landslide into a cliffhanger. Cuccinelli was behind by double digits after the shutdown...He decided to gamble it all in the last week attacking Obamacare. 

Charles Krauthammer's formidable intellect did not suffice to see through the pretensions of moderation offered by Barack Obama in the 2008 campaign. There is a lesson in this incident.

In a clear attempt to woo largely establishment Repub. commentators who have opposed the GOP’s shutdown strategy, Obama held an off-the-record meeting with Charles Krauthammer, Paul Gigot, Robert Costa, Kathleen Parker, and Byron York.

Mark Levin and Charles Krauthammer exchanged heated barbs over Cruz's speech. Levin reminded his listeners that Krauthammer had been on the wrong side of Ronald Reagan.

Detroit isn't an example of failed GOP econ policy. It's been run by the Dems for 60 years.
