Yeah, he never understood Obama until Obama was almost out of office. He just never believed the guy was as bad as he was. I never understood how he could not see through Obama.

Sorry, Artie, but I disagree. When Obama was a candidate and through his first year, Krauthammer was a cheerleader. I don't think he ever mentioned Obama without getting in a "brilliant" or two.

I wasn't surprised that he was a Never Trumper.

Having said that, I am deeply impressed-- in awe, actually-- of what he was able to accomplish despite a setback that would have been life-ending for most people. For one thing, unable to sit up, he read medical textbooks projected on the ceiling. Not only highly intelligent, but incredibly tough and determined. His life story is inspiring.

He did his part to try and turn the election. Thankfully it did not work for him and many others.

My impression was he always tried make himself out to be a much smarter man than our President. Did not work either.

I do agree he accomplished a lot despite his situation and should be commended for that.

Godspeed, Charles. Thank you for the insight and decency.

Good bye Mr. Krauthammer, RIP.

I'm really curious what his latest thoughts on Trump may have been. As an arguably very solid Conservative, I have to wonder if he didn't warm up to Trump, or at least his accomplishments. His track record now speaks for itself.

I probably starting reading Krauthammer's columns 17 or 18 years ago. I appreciated his common sense reasoning as the only thing worth reading coming from the WaPo. His stance on the threat of Islamic fundamentalism was especially excellent compared to the Islamic apologists out there. Yeah, there were some things that I wasn't crazy about, like being anti-Trump and being too "neoconish" at times, but I generally agreed with his conservative views. RIP, Dr. Krauthammer.

I respected his opinions but didn't always agree with him. Sad to see him pass. He will be missed.

I agreed with him on many things, but not everything. He was a great American and will be missed.

RIP Charles Krauthammer




"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I'm not going to miss him. He got so bad with his anti-Trump behavior, I would change the channel whenever he was a guest.

Same here. It seems that I always found myself respecting his opinion, whether I agreed with it or not.

This one hits a little close to home for me. I had a brother who lived for 30 years as a quadriplegic following an MVA in his senior year in college. He, too, bounced back to achieve great things.

What people can do when faced with unimaginable hardship is remarkable and deserving of respect.

Me? I don't know that I'd have it in me. I've always been of the opinion that I'd go to rehab just long enough to learn how to drive my wheelchair...into a swimming pool.

Yes, even if you disagreed with him, at least you could see the LOGIC behind what he believed. He was a true intellectual.

RIP Mr. Kraughthammer



I found what you said riveting.
