Jim Nolan: Hindsight his best quality

Charles Krauthammer’s Oct. 30 column “Skip investigations, win the election” described two things that never come from his pen.

First, he laid out the ineptitude of Republicans carrying out their investigation of Hillary Clinton’s actions concerning Benghazi. I could not believe he would actually point out his party’s weaknesses and dumb mistakes, but he did.

Second, as usual, he pointed out his brilliance on how and why he would have handled the inquisition.

Why does he not run for office, bringing the wealth of knowledge to the public domain, or could it be he is simply a great Monday morning quarterback?
