Bill Kristol is actively wooing candidates for 3rd party run [#NeverTrump]
Hot Air ^ | May 5, 2016 | Larry O'Connor

Former Bush (41) Administration official and Editor of The Weekly Standard is working with other establishment Republicans in Washington DC to identify a viable, third party candidate for president.

Kristol dropped the bombshell on “Mornings on the Mall,” the morning talk show I co-host with Brian Wilson on WMAL in Washington DC.

That’s ok. Flush them all out. I have a long memory. Trump probably does too.

He’s what Don Rumsfeld would have called a dead-ender.

Where’s Vic Macky from The Shield when you need him.

“I’m a different kind of cop”

As usual, can’t say what i’d like to see happen to him.

Bill Kristol is a liberal who likes war.

I’d prefer he take all those like himself and go off and form a 3rd party.

Kristol epitomizes the concept of a "Dolt With Illusions Of Relevance."

Your crack about Iraq is right on the mark.

And, as a practical matter, a group of similar dolts, launching a "Third Party"--which would probably not run third in November, but fourth or fifth--would likely draw more from Hillary Clinton (Mrs. William J.) than from Trump. (Not that the 50 to 100K will have much net effect.)

Dolt With Illusions Of Relevance

I like that concept, can apply to a few Radio Hosts of late.

I think it is more toxic than that...create a 3rd party so that you can pretend not to vote for Hillary, while still defeating Trump....then once the Club is secured in November, Trump is expunged and they can return to their Ivory Towers......probably won’t work out that way....but this is their last Dirty Trick to stop Trump AND keep their power.

Kristol can take his Weekly Standard and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine. The same goes for National Review!

The GOPe/dem uniparty is going to fight tooth and nail to keep their cozy status quo racket in place.

Unfortunately for the uniparty hacks and lackeys, that light at the end of the election tunnel is not their way out. It’s the Trump Train closing in on them, and they have nowhere to run.

In military parlance, Bill's an REMF.

Nothing would make me happier than to see Kristol and team leave the Republican Party for good (if only he could take John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and the Bushes with him). However, there’s no need for the neoconservatives to start a third party. Hillary is on the same page as Kristol about 99% of the time and would welcome his support in her campaign.

#NeverTrump = #AlwaysHillary.

#AlwaysHillary = you never really a conservative in the first place, "true" or otherwise.

END. OF.

heh heh

Getting on the Texas ballot is over next week. I believe it will be too late in most states by the time the GOP convention is over. Their third-party guy will have to be VERY high profile already as there’s no time for introducing someone who is not a household name. I suspect this is really an attempt to scam gullible donors.

Bill Kristol praised Obama Immigration Executive order.

Bill Kristol call Mitt Romney a lack of resume before the 2012 election.

He is an open borders and a DEMOCRAT
