Bill Kristol on the Deep State

What is the Deep State? Infogalactic tells us

State within a state is a political situation in a country when an internal organ ("deep state"), such as the armed forces and civilian authorities (intelligence agencies and police), does not respond to the civilian political leadership. The term, like many in politics, derives from the Greek language (κράτος εν κράτει, kratos en kratei, later adopted into Latin as imperium in imperio[1] or status in statu).

So what did Kristol say on Twitter

Obviously strongly prefer normal democratic and constitutional politics. But if it comes to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state.5:36 AM · Feb 14, 2017

In other words, Kristol would rather have unelected bureaucrats run the country. And people say that Trump is undemocratic! The elites, like Kristol, will do whatever they have to do to achieve domination over the country.
