In order to defeat Donald Trump, The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol admits he is prepared to hand Hillary Clinton the Oval Office. On Wednesday’s “Morning Joe,” the Republican Establishment leader laid out his plot to deprive Trump of the 50% of delegates necessary to secure the nomination. From there, the idea is to go into a brokered convention and cut a kamikaze deal that awards enough delegates to an “acceptable” candidate (who will have won far fewer votes, states, and delegates than Trump).
The problem with the Establishment brokering a behind-closed-door deal that hands the nomination to a Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% , is that the backlash against the Republican Party is almost certain to hand Hillary Clinton the presidency.
If a bunch of rich, angry GOP elites rob Trump supporters of their victory, the blowback will result in so many voters staying home in November, Hillary wins. As NBC’s Chuck Todd pointed out last night, at this point the delegate math is such that the only way to stop Trump is through this scheme at the convention.
As you’ll see below, that outcome is preferable to Kristol, and by extension it is safe to assume that outcome is also fine with the rest of the Republican Establishment.

Trump will run 3rd party.
From jump, decades ago, I always knew Kristol was a quisling.
If you ever had ANY doubts about how TRULY EVIL the establishment GOP is... doubt no more.
What third party? We need a second party first.
Open primaries for one half of the Uniparty, and stupordelegates for the other half. Sound like a republic to you?
The fact that there is an oligarchy from which media whores get their goodies is now obvious for the world to see.
Kristol’s has never given a whit for the American people or the constitution. Kristol knows Hillary is a murderous narcissist who lies like other people breathe. And now we all can see it. It’s pretty ugly.
Bill Kristol should just join the Democratic Party and be done with it!
What a despicable snake.
Trump will run 3rd party.
Trump is running 3P. Inside the GOP tent. LOL.
They’re Democrat operatives posing as Republicans. The GOP is run by idiots who refuse to kick them out.
Yup the GOP establishment is prepared to destroy the country to save itself.
They’re that evil and I leave nothing past them.
Bill Kristol laid it all out: they’d rather have Hillary than someone they cannot control.
And losing control is not what the GOP establishment is all about.

“...GOP BOSSES SPIT IN THE VOTERS’ FACES
You’re not fighting Trump.
You’re fighting the people who are voting for him.
The anti-Trump effort being waged by the Republican Party is essentially a fight against democracy.
It’s not that this monster has raised himself up to threaten the ivory castles of the blue bloods, it’s that millions of people have stood up and said, “Enough is enough.”
It is they against whom the GOP establishment is fighting.
And that fight never turns out well...”
Rest is at the link above.
Sniveling little shitass (as my dear departed Auntie used to say)
I pray Trump destroys the establishment.
Bill Kristol is an annoying neo con who holds his own interests above that of the country. Go Trump! The neo cons are traitors to their party and their country if they would rather see Hillary in the White House than give up their establishment power niches.
And maybe win...
no Trump will win 3rd ballot.
Kristol is blowing smoke out his ass.
The GOPe would rather have Hillary and her SCOTUS appointments than their base. Wrap your head around that one.
What in the world is wrong with these idiots? I can’t believe they would have the nerve to say they would rather have Hillary.
Kristol is a fool.
