What could possibly be the end goal? Clue to “elites”: Romney lost. He can’t beat Trump or Hillary.
Kristol knows full well Romney can’t win. But he also knows that a 3P run might siphon enough votes away from Trump to give Hillary a swing state or two, which could be the difference in the election. The POS would MUCH rather see Hillary win than Trump. That’s what this is about.
Maybe spite?
